While Yujin was fighting for his life against the giant snake, Crim turned to Arthur and spoke.
"Now then. You've got some explaining to do."
"Huh? Explaining? About what?"
Arthur looked genuinely confused, but Crim didn't buy it for a second, her eyes narrowing and glowing as she pressed him.
"You did something to me back on Taemia, didn't you? Explain yourself."
For a split second, Arthur still looked lost, then a look of realisation dawned in his eyes, something Crim didn't miss.
"Ah, that…" Arthur seemed like he'd only just recalled what she meant, replying, "It's nothing serious. I'm honestly more surprised you noticed."
"Are you forgetting I'm a Deity now? I've gone through Exuviation, so did you really think I wouldn't notice something that wasn't 'mine' inside my own body? Explain."
Her voice rose at the end, her irritation plain to hear, and even so, Arthur remained as casual as ever.
