Cloud Russell took a sip of wine, carefully concealing her own emotions, her words dripping with an uncaring tone.

Charlotte Cooper raised an eyebrow, finding Russell's demeanor somewhat amusing.

Cloud, noticing the gaze, grumbled impatiently, "Don't get me wrong. I just worry that you might end up getting hurt and cause my brother distress."

Charlotte slightly raised the corner of her mouth and shrugged, "I'm almost healed."

"That's good. Be careful from now on. I'm too busy to worry about you all the time; getting hurt, getting sick."

Cloud Russell's gaze wandered, refusing to make eye contact with Charlotte.

Charlotte though, wasn't bothered, offering a sincere response, "Alright, I'll be careful."
