"Anyway, while waiting..." Elaine started, surprising Aranea and Beau with her sudden question that they didn't even expect.
"Are you two dating?"
Aranea was actually drinking her service water when she heard this. With it being a shocker, she immediately spat her water out, towards Beau's face who was sitting beside her.
"What the—Aranea!"
The Summoner ignored his outburst, pointing at her Familiar as if he had committed a crime.
"Me? Date him? That's absurd, no." Aranea scoffed afterward. "Besides, it's taboo for them to be together, right? Familiars and Summoners can't fall in love with each other."
"Well, yes..." Elaine nodded slowly, further explaining the condition of that rule. "But it happens when the Summoner has multiple Familiars. If it's only you two, it's possible."
