Dimensional Descent

Leonel's brow raised when he made eye contact with Noah. There was something particularly shifty about Noah's gaze at the moment as though he wanted to say something or was regretting something, but he also seemed to realize that it was too late to do so.

The both of them had been making their way to the front of the hotel after hearing the announcement when they crossed paths. It was immediately obvious to Leonel that Noah was holding back something.

'It makes sense. Noah probably knows more about the Luxnix than I do, but he isn't a very talkative person to begin with so he probably didn't know how to start the conversation.'

Leonel smiled and shook his head. He couldn't decide whether this cousin of his was a block of wood or an adorable teddy bear. Either way, whatever it was, Leonel didn't think it would change much. The fact that those presents had been left for him gave him a clue to something… At the very least, he didn't think that his life would be in danger.

He would just greet what came with a smile until it warranted a frown. As for what happened from here on out, there was no point in worrying about it as he couldn't change it anyway.

Leonel patted Noah's shoulder. "Don't worry about it."

Noah's brows arched up. For some reason he felt better after Leonel said this. But, he still smiled bitterly on the outside. Leonel could only be so carefree because he didn't have any idea what would likely happen over there.

Noah didn't know the full story of what happened back then and had only ever learned some snippets, but he knew enough to know that this was a sticky situation. But, much like Leonel, after seeing the gifts left on his bed, he had a bit of confidence that at least their lives wouldn't be in danger, that was why he chose to come anyway.

"Hm?"

Noah's gaze turned back to find Kian, Vaan and Ren. It wasn't only him who noticed this, but the youths of the Mueter, Yunia and Cuvan Branches did so as well. Seeing the pale state of their faces, many of them were confused, but Noah gave a deep look toward Leonel who just grinned back.
