"At least you’re honest about that," she said dryly as Gabe roarin appeared "And I brought you food since you decided eren’t good enough for your company"

"What? That’s not why--" She cut herself off Lucian knew that couldn’t be the reason and that wasn’t ihts have flickered out briefly, creating a shadow? Truth was, she did have her eyes closed and only saw the shape briefly
