A Move On The Board

"Ahh… how fascinating!"

Adrien nearly raised his voice just a few seconds after meeting Emil and hearing the role she played in fooling him. His blue eyes warbled as he stared intensely at the Slime, and his lips were stretched to both ends as he made a broad, toothy grin.

"You're really amazing… one in a kind."

"Indeed, indeed! You get it, don't you?" Emil, who would usually be cold to any outsider who wasn't her Master, became extremely loose and even jovial with Adrien.

Perhaps this was due to the fact that he recognized her greatness and constantly sang her praises. Either way, Adrien didn't stop there.

He kept up his words of admiration, and Emil returned the energy to him. This continued at great lengths until—

"Okay, that's enough." Rey sighed, his voice louder than theirs.
