Eira, in a surprising show of intuitiveness and guile, could clearly see Erik's strong interest in this matter, and decided to make use of it.
"Actually," she grinned slyly, "the affinity seed is part of the tour."
Erik raised an eyebrow and locked his amber eyes with her brown ones in a show of calm confidence. Eira, meanwhile, quickly started getting nervous. Her eyes darted, trying to avoid Erik's gaze, and her lips were pursed, yet she didn't give in.
Finally, Erik relaxed his gaze and chuckled. "Alright, Eira, have it your way. I suppose I'm quite curious to see this place, anyway."
"Yay!" the transparent minotaur girl floated up a little and clapped her hands, a bright smile on her lips.
Erik shook his head with a small smile. 'She really doesn't act her age, does she,' he thought to himself.
If you like my novel, I would love some more reviews right now! (But obviously, any support is welcome and greatly appreciated)
