Alex kept staring at Thorin's back, seeing him running farther and farther away. He was clearly in a hurry, and although his movements still seemed funny, Alex wasn't smiling anymore.
[Alex...]
Sophie's voice was heard in his head; it was as if she was reminding him of something, and he nodded his head.
'I know...'
He could feel the presence of the person who had been listening to his chat with Thornin moving away in panic and hurry. They seemed to have realized that they had heard something they weren't supposed to hear.
Alex, who had felt their presence from the start, hadn't made a move before only because he didn't want Thorin to know about his real personality just yet. That guy, Thorin, hated violence after all.
But now, with him gone, Alex didn't have to control anymore.
With a cold gleam flashing past his eyes, he zoomed in the direction this person had run off to.
