Dancing Spirits

With a faint smile on her face, Nephis nodded and raised her sword, pointing it at him in invitation. Sunny summoned the Sin of Solace and took a stance opposite her. From the Forgotten Shore to the basement of his home in the peaceful terrace district, they had trained with each other numerous times. This simple sequence of actions was as natural for them as breathing. 

However, today, there was an awkward pause. 

Sunny scratched the back of his head and glanced at the jade jian. 

"That… isn't going to work, is it?"

Nephis seemed to have come to a similar conclusion, looking at him sheepishly. 

'No, what the hell… since when does she know how to emote? This is just too cute…'

He coughed.
