"Are you ok?" Xiao said as he tilted her head from side to side. She smiled as she looked at him.

"I should be asking you that question.." Lumine took his hands in hers as she held them in her lap.

"What happened in that cave?" She gave him a concerned look. He sighed as he tightened his grip on her hands.

"My karma." He pressed his lips into a line. Lumine sighed as she cupped his cheek. He hesitantly looked into her eyes.

"We'll talk more about this once we get back to the inn." She smiled at him before hesitantly removing her hand from his face.
