"I-I'm not panicking!"
"You clearly do," Gale chuckled. "I know you're timid and get nervous often, but don't worry, I'm not suspecting you of anything bad. I'm just worried about you."
"R-really?"
"Yes."
"T-then, I… actually I—"
"Besides, even if you have manifested a magic power, I believe you will never hurt or betray me with it, right?" Gale added. "I hate traitors the most."
Swan went quiet for a moment and nodded, "I-I will never. I promise."
Gale finally eased up. He gently caressed Swan's golden hair and muttered, "I know you would never betray me. I can feel the sincerity and honesty coming from your heart. That's why I can be at ease whenever I'm with you."
Swan pressed her lips together and smiled, but she was nervous deep inside.
She didn't know since when did Gale start suspecting her of having a magic power, but she had to be more careful from now on.
