"Isn't that Ad'oni? What's he doing there?"

Lucielle was the first to mention his presence, despite all three of them gawking at him for nearly a minute. A small look around would also make it clear that they weren't alone in the attention directed at him.

Still, someone had to say something, and as soon as Lucielle said this, all of them had to come out of their spell.

Rey heaved a sigh as soon as Lucielle spoke, happy that the moment ended without any form of awkwardness.

Emil wouldn't stop giving him "the look" despite how hard he tried to explain that he was only observing Adonis' great forms and diligence, and not his insanely attractive body.

The way his sweaty skin gleamed under the light… the way his biceps and triceps, and perfect abs, all meshed together perfectly, while complementing his handsome face and clear eyes… all of those were not Rey's priority.

He made that known to Emil, but she wouldn't have any of it.

~So this is why you still don't have a woman despite how amazing you are, Master…~
