章節 142: Awkward

Blaise didn't know what he was supposed to do about Abby. She was by far the most interesting person he had ever come across. Who else would decide to take home a wild animal with her even after being warned without so much as batting an eyelid?

She wasn't even aware of the effect she had on him. She was sleeping peacefully less than a foot away as he kept watch. Since there were only two of them now they had to take turns making sure nothing attacked in the night or tried to steal their rations.

He had always found her amusing but hadn't wanted to offend her by laughing. Used to hiding his emotions from others because it was easier not to express his opinion, he managed to hold back every time right up until the lynx incident.

All of the laughter he had been suppressing since they were back in Shibatsu finally exploded out of him. He could tell she was put out by it, which had been exactly why he didn't ever let it out before.
