Alec waited until the guards were all off their floor before he finally relaxed his tense mental state a little.
While he thought that he could take care of the problem should they be exposed, they were in the middle of the sea, after all.
It wouldn't be so easy to escape. If they could hide it, then it was better to do so for now.
He almost didn't want to, but his curiosity made him look back at Elysia.
Her face was still flushed red, and she'd taken to burying her face in her palms. However, Alec could still see the redness of her ears as well as her face that peeked through her fingers.
Alec felt like stabbing himself for ever daring to do something like that.
No doubt that this… these damn feelings that he apparently had for Elysia were not going to go away that easily.
He originally thought that if he ignored it for long enough, he'd be able to kill off these extra feelings inside him before long.
However, Alec had forgotten that there was a reason why ignoring things never worked out, and they'd come back to bite him in the ass.
He should have dealt with this a long time ago.
If Ye Sha was still inside Alec's mindscape, he would have whacked this idiot up the head despite what he may potentially do to him.
Did he have to be so oblivious!
What Alec had forgotten was that the moment pandora's box was opened, the things that had come out could no longer be put back inside…
Likewise, Elysia was having a little enlightened moment of her own.
She'd never been so close to another man before.
Or rather, she had never allowed a man so close before. This was because her body subconsciously moved to avoid unfamiliar men she didn't know.
Even when they were already known to her, her body still moved before her mind reacted.
In this way, although she may feel comfortable with other men, she would never allow them close.
However, Alec…
Alec had blown through all her boundaries without a single problem, and neither had her reflexes acted up to push him away.
She was confused, and more than a little puzzled.
Her reflexes to avoid men had never failed to act up other than her dad, and she sometimes even felt aversion at touching other people herself, but with Alec, there was nothing of the sort.
Sure, it may have because they were in the middle of a situation, but Elysia knew herself better than that.
She wasn't cut out to be an actress. And she would never be cut out for an actress.
Her real emotions showed much too blatantly, which was why it was easy for her to hide it behind her usual cheerfulness.
It was just that sometimes that happiness was a mask.
Suddenly, Elysia was confronted with the feelings that she'd had no idea about all this time.
Could it be that she actually had feelings for Alec that went beyond the normal feelings for friends or even for her boss?
She was very confused. Was she having feelings, or was she not?
Elysia had learnt various things about 'love' from books, and her symptoms right now certainly seemed fit for it, but…
Wait a minute. Wasn't having a crush on your boss a normal occurrence?
That was what the books all told her. Plus, the crush would fade sooner or later, which left her back with her friend slash boss in a normal position.
Goodness knew how often her fellow Spectres talked about Alec like they had a crush on him.
So, she was perfectly fine and normal!
She was just like the rest of the Spectres.
It was just a little baby crush that would fade as time went on.
Now more settled, the deep blush on Elysia's face faded, and she looked up at Alec, who was staring at her with an unreadable expression.
She grinned at him, and Alec reflexively used his normal smile.
Alec suddenly felt at a loss.
There was a part of him that had been intrigued and pleased at the reaction he garnered from Elysia, but now she seemed to have gone back to her usual self.
It left him a little disappointed for reasons he didn't want to acknowledge.
Still, he couldn't lock away his feelings so deeply because the people on this damn ship would obviously take advantage if he acted any colder towards Elysia than his previous affection towards her already.
He felt the oncoming headache just thinking about it.
So, right now, he was burdened with the feelings that made his chest astir, but he resolutely ignored it.
He pulled out the body from the bed, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt like he'd seen this person before.
But he couldn't quite place it.
His memory for faces wasn't that good, but… he also couldn't remember where he'd seen this person before.
At this moment, before either Elysia or Alec could do anything, Loeri hopped down from Alec's head, landing on the young man's body that was held in stasis.
"Yummy things!" Loeri cheered.
Alec was instantly alarmed. "Wait, Loeri! You can't eat him!"
Loeri instantly wilted sadly. Alec's lips twitched. If this mushroom was a puppy, its tail would have drooped.
Alec was a little curious. "You really want to eat a whole human?" he asked with confusion.
As far as he knew, the Thousand Poison Mushroom didn't like to eat things that didn't have poison – very much like himself.
Wait.
It suddenly clicked, and he felt foolish for his thoughts going in a strange direction.
"What you mean is, this person here is poisoned, and you want to eat the poison?"
Loeri nodded vigorously, hoping that its master would agree to let it eat. What else could it mean? The poison that it could smell on this body was very fragrant, very delicious!
It should be a delight to eat, and it was not often that it got to eat such a delicacy!
When else would Loeri be able to eat such yummy things again?
Loeri could even sense the deliciousness of it from so far away. It was not the only delicacy that was down there, but this one was by far the best!
It would definitely be the yummiest, which was why it had been so happy earlier.
"Okay, you can eat it."
Loeri cheered and moved its body to the heart region of the man's body.
Alec didn't release the body from stasis because he had a feeling that if he did…
Sure enough, the eyes of the man fluttered fiercely. Luckily, the body was still, otherwise who knew what damage he might have caused. Not to mention the screaming.
Now that he looked closer at the man, he could see that his veins were a deep blue. They were almost black.
But the poison in the man's body was being eaten quickly by Loeri, who was humming even as the man was likely in a large amount of pain.
Alec didn't know whether or not he should feel sympathetic to him or not.
Elysia prodded Loeri with curiosity, and Loeri just wriggled, too happy to be annoyed or to feel anything else.
Loeri was having a feast! A banquet!
Alec's head raised. "Quick," he directed to Elysia, "get on the bed!"
Elysia was stunned, but she still got onto the bed as directed.
Alec grabbed the man's body and hefted him up, sandwiching him between himself and Elysia.
Without any prior warning, he sunk his teeth into the man's pale neck with distaste, though none of it showed on his face.
Thankfully, he'd 'accidentally' left the door unlocked earlier.
The security guard quietly cracked open the door, wary about whether or not this couple was deceiving him, only for him to quickly shut it again, his face flaming.
What the hell!
There were three people in there now!
Two men and a woman!
That man that had greeted the door previously was even sucking hickeys into someone else!
The security guard quickly left, fanning his flaming face. Calm down, calm down.
How fucking spicy!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
