Feeling the toned softness of the Knight's cheek, Mel blushed, her eyes squinting with a flustered smile.
Mel pulled back to admire the Knight, her grin faint but sincere, though Saria's expression remained frozen in surprise.
An awkward blush crept up on Saria as she glanced away. "What are you doing?"
A flicker of bemusement crossed Mel's expression, her hand tapping her lips in realisation of what she had done.
Unlike her usual forwardness, Mel's scattered mind lacked an answer before letting out a heartfelt chuckle.
"Just a thank you, Sis."
With a mumble full of sincerity, her body relaxed before leaning onto Saria.
As her arms wrapped around Saria's waist, the Knight was flustered by Mel's intimacy, her arms dangling in the air with hesitation.
But Mel's smooth skin further pressed into hers, and she sighed before returning the hug.
Mulling over the right words, she muttered. "Did they really not tell you anything?"
