The man's face looked surprised when he registered Coco's words.
His red eyes widened and before the enormous boulder could make contact with the humanized flying pig and the woman below them, he quickly clenched his free fist.
Miraculously, the massive boulder shattered into countless pieces, sparing the duo from the incoming attack.
The sudden shattering of the boulder brought a slight sense of relief on Coco, causing her heart rate that was beating fast with anxiety to begin to gradually slow down.
A sigh of relief slipped past her lips as she watched the small pieces of the boulder scattering around below them.
"Oh, thank goodness it stopped.." She murmured, her voice sounding both relieved and worried as she shook her head. "I thought I'll have to cover up a murder."
With the adrenaline subsiding, Coco found herself leaning against the man's sturdy frame and settling comfortably on his arm, her forehead pressing unconsciously against the side of his head.
