Lightnova glanced toward Indigo.
A faint blush colored her cheeks, subtle yet unmistakable. Her fingers twitched slightly at her sides, betraying the composure she tried to maintain. She hesitated for a brief moment before finally parting her lips.
"So... how have you been..."
The words came out softer than she intended.
Indigo turned his head toward her almost immediately, clearly caught off guard. His posture stiffened for a fraction of a second, as if her question had struck somewhere unexpected.
He hadn't anticipated that. Not from her.
At the same time, Lightnova herself seemed to realize what she had just said. Her eyes widened slightly before she quickly turned her face away.
Her cheeks burned hotter.
'idiot! idiot! idiot!! why did i just ask my sworn enemy how he's doing!!'
She clenched her fists slightly, silently scolding herself.
"I-uhm... I... I'm doing fine..."
