Voyage I: Lentini

[Shiki]

Enma only sighed when a helpful idiot rushed into the action. He would make an iconic idiotic everyday hero, at least from her point of view. She shook her head and let him know that he's an idiot with her stare. She would take a ring, slightly pushing him away.

— Your task is security from external threats, if you fail to understand what that means, you may go outside and hold the perimeter. Or just go to talk to Keiko or Zoe or something. But this is none of your business, you did not react when I called witnesses. You aren't hired to police me. This ring is a special thing for me and I want to gift it to her highness. She is having a hard period in her life and certainly does not require things being pulled off from her fingers. Now don't stand here, Her Highness and I need a private space.

She would even punch him if he wasn't all armored. Too bad. He can still be fired if anything. However, this diss-subordination is no good for the overall impression of Claire. And it is getting more and more bothersome to micromanage everything.

As Claire sat down on the sofa, Enma somewhat kneels again to get a ring on her finger again. At least he wasn't coming in as she was delivering the most important part.

— I am sorry for his misconduct, Claire. Maybe general Crown policies towards the Outcasts were right.

It wasn't quite clear if she was serious or not. Enma then wanted to see if Claire really complied with what she was told.

— Still, I am pretty sure that you understand me better now than the first time we met. And don't worry, everything between us will be just fine, we have to give it time. So shall I order to prepare the bedroom for you or maybe us? I am concerned that you haven't eaten anything.

Enma was barely stroking Claire's hand with a ring. Worrying for it not to be removed for the third time. Also, thinking where the fuck is Zoe now?
