Bab 99: Party in the slums part 2

"Stop! Please, listen to me." Uriel tried to calm everyone down, but Medusa stood up in a rush to leave. Her right eye was twitching and she looked pale as a ghost.

"It's ok Uriel... you don't need to explain any of this. I get it." She said mechanically, as if she was reading from a script.

"Come on, Medusa, you too?" At that point Uriel was beyond annoyed. The only people he could trust were nothing but a bunch of kids playing around. And then it hit him, he was smiling.

As much as his rational side was annoyed by his friends silly behavior, he was actually having fun and he couldn't stop himself from laughing along with Nika. Sam, who also realized what was going on, joined them in laughter.

"What's the meaning of this?" Intrigued, Luna tilted her head and asked Medusa, who was the only one who remained serious.

"I- I don't know." She replied, still unsure.

It took them a couple minutes but when the laughter subsided Uriel was finally able to speak again.
