"Do you want to say anything?" Velvet calmly asked while riding on Myne's back, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Yes, those slippers, although they look very ugly, I have to say they really work quite nicely." Myne, acting as if he didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Velvet's question, replied hesitantly. He is currently flying at a very fast speed just a few inches above the never-ending spiral stairs, heading to the top of the tower while carrying Velvet behind him. Since there is only one set of flying slippers between them, and obviously he didn't have the honour to ride a beautiful lady, not even if she is his wife.
Velvet gave him a knowing look, her eyebrow cocked in amusement. "I don't think that's what I'm asking about, Myne. How long exactly has this... situation with you and her been going on?"
Myne winced, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Will you believe me if I say that this time it was all purely coincidental and I am just a victim?"
