Before the spirit could react, Lucian flicked its head with a sharp snap.
The water spirit let out a dramatized "Squeee!" clutched its head with its chubby paws, and dramatically collapsed beside Lana.
It squeezed its eyes shut in exaggerated pain... but peeked every few seconds to check if Lana was looking at him.
Both Lucian and Mr. Crow stared at the spirit in stunned disbelief.
This… this was green tea behavior at its finest.
Had the spirit learned manipulation from watching humans?
Because if they didn't curb it now, once Lana regained strength, this little blob would surely drape itself around her permanently.
Both Lucian and Mr. Crow were prepared to put a stop to this nonsense...
But the luck was clearly not on their side.
Lana's eyelashes fluttered.
She began to wake.
Her pupils trembled before they slowly opened, hazy and unfocused at first. Colors bled into shapes, and shapes into movement.
