章 190: Lies

I clear my throat again and say "He's... busy with... stuff." I look away and awkwardly stand up as I say "I'm gonna grab CheeChee and head back to the... house." I glance at him again and quickly look away before walking off. 

Before I walk out of the common room, he calls out and says "You know you can stay here, right? We set up a room just for you. If you don't feel comfortable returning to... your home." I keep my back to him for several moments before asking "Where is it?" 

As I turn, I find him right behind me. His sheer size makes me step back but he doesn't seem bothered by it. His eyes search mine before saying "Follow me" I hesitate for a moment but decide to follow him.

The thought of going back to the house and finding our room empty... I shake my thoughts and decide it's best to stay here for a few days. I don't want to return to the house without him. When Kelic finally comes to a stop, he pulls back a beautiful cloth and reveals a large room.
