"What do you mean?" Elion shrugged while looking Celeste straight in the face. "I feel much better after using that potion."
"You think we are blind? We can all see that you are not completely at a hundred percent."
Elion's lip twitched. "Okay, maybe you are right. I'm at 50% right now, but that should be enough for people who merely want a cordial meeting."
The way he emphasized cordial caused Dorian to let out an amused laugh.
Mira looked toward Elion. "Just do not provoke them unnecessarily."
"I never provoke people unnecessarily." With that statement, they suddenly all stared at him with dubious looks.
"Don't give me those looks! When have I ever..." The attempt to defend himself seemed to only make them shake their heads, giving him disapproving looks.
Elion sighed, "Fine. I will try not to provoke them unnecessarily."
"That is much better," Mira said, letting a smile flash across her face.
Celeste took his hand. "I will come with you to make sure."
