Theo gradually opened his eyes.
When Ava, who just returned from hunting a monster for them to eat, saw him, she instinctively took a step back.
There was a kind of beast smell lingering around him and his eyes seemed to be filled with it. This kind of beast was obviously far higher level than her to the point the aura alone managed to suppress and frighten her.
"Kyu?!" Ava stared at Theo's eyes, frozen.
Theo hadn't noticed her yet as he was still gathering his thoughts about what Fenrir told him.
It took him three minutes before he turned his head, finding Ava hadn't moved a single step from her position.
"Hmm?" Theo's expression mellowed again after adjusting his mental state. "Why are you standing there?"
"Kyu?!" Ava's body shook as the aura disappeared. It seemed Theo met a powerful beast.
"Come here." Theo smiled and extended his hand.
