Chapitre 28: Appreciation

Eclipse stared at the man with a raised eyebrow. Aseko merely gave him a smile, the best and most genuine one he showed yet.

"You look far too happy saying that, Aseko." Eclipse said, also breaking into a smile. "It would have put anyone listening to you, off immediately."

"But you are listening to me and you are not put off." The man said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Besides, I answered your question did I not? Honestly and simply."

"Yes, I do appreciate it." Eclipse nodded at him. "But, it does make me wonder then, if you have a clear idea of what you would have done … why did you not do it?"

Pulling out a cigar from his pocket, Aseko paused, looking at it in his hands before pulling out a lighter and taking one puff of the smoke, a contented sigh escaping his lips.
