Zeke raised an eyebrow at Lillian's explanation, his eyes flashing with an intimidating light as the scars on his face wrinkled. But then his lips curled upwards into a soft and relieved smile.
Zeke then whispered, "Is that so...? I'm relieved then."
Zeke then paused for a moment, watching as Lillian and Millis stared at him intently. He then coughed into his hand as he added, "I-I mean, that's a shame. We had almost reached a new record of money gathered."
Lillian watched as Zeke walked back to his station and welcomed another group of mages into the mine. She couldn't help but smile slightly at how he reacted.
Under Zeke's intimidating scars and stoic face, he was rather gentle. Almost like a certain Assassin she knew.
Lillian froze and held her chin and thought for a split moment before mentally concluding, 'Nah. Marionette's much cuter.'
Lillian then watched as Zeke led the group at the very front into the mine before coming back shortly after.
