I was dumbstruck by his casual remark. I stared at him with my mouth hanging open, wondering what in the world was on his head when he said such outrageous things. His words weren't exactly wrong since we were indeed gaining mutual benefit by helping each other, but he didn't have to define it so ambiguously like that.
Even the man in front of us was shocked. He tried to feign it by coughing awkwardly, but anyone could tell he was embarrassed. "Well, it's good to be young. Just be careful."
No! You're wrong!
"I'm so sorry for his crude mouth. What he meant was we were a partner," I said hurriedly, with a grimace. This kind of misunderstanding would be troublesome if it wasn't cleared up immediately.
Aslan frowned at me. "Who are you calling crude mouth? Is that how your attitude towards your savior?"
