Proposal?

'What is wrong with you?' Alice nearly blurted aloud when she saw that Michael had avoided her.

'Did I do something wrong? No. He would confront me in that case. He isn't shy, either. Why is he ignoring me?'

Michael didn't blush or anything like that, but it wasn't hard to tell that Michael was awkward and nervous. That was abnormal for Michael. Alice had never seen Michael like that. She had to know why Michael acted like that!

Alice was just about to say something when Michael cleared his throat. He avoided Alice's intense stare and smiled lightly at the other professors.

"I'm sorry for barging into your meeting. I noticed my master's energy fluctuations and didn't realize that he was not alone in the room. I hope that I didn't startle anyone," Michael apologized profusely. His eyes lingered longer on the representatives of the Berserkers and the Warlock Centaurs, who responded with a curt nod.
