章 553: The Gala (9)

{{Hm, would you look at that? He wants to talk to me…}} Hiding a smirk behind his usual expressionless mask, Cynrik straightened his back and placed his hand over Selene's forearm before cutting through the crowd and heading toward the Governor. 

{{Huh? How can you tell?}} Selene asked as she allowed herself to be escorted by her boyfriend.

{{Same way as always, his body language, specifically his eyes. The way he constantly keeps looking in our direction, although deep in conversation, is a sign that he wants something from us. If we take this observation one step further, his eyes flick rapidly between his oldest son, who is competing, and us.}}

{{If we analyze this situation, it can only mean one of two things, either he is sizing us up, then comparing our strength against his sons, or he has something to talk to us about.}} Cynrik assessed as he left Brance and the others behind while keeping his brother in the loop.
