Abandonment (2)
"I left for the same reason as your son." Cyrus said in complete seriousness, his expression genuine and unmoving.
Nagao and Sakura simply stared at Cyrus, their mouths agape in horror and disbelief. The silence lasted a few seconds. But to them, it felt like eons had passed. A million and one thoughts ran through their minds. They needed to know more, that wasn't enough!
"You mean...Masaki? Right?" Nagao asked first in a cautious tone. He was being careful with his questions and his tone now, even if the answer was obvious, he did not want to provoke another attack from the man. It was quite evident that if he so wanted, they would all be frozen in time, at the mercy of this fearsome mage.
"Oh. Are you worried that I'll attack again?" Cyrus answered in an innocent manner, tilting his head to the side like a little puppy.
