3RD POV
Selin flew off, leaving the four behind in silence. The two boys turned to Zana, who had yet to recover from the shock of their identity. The revelation lingered in her mind, filling her with both excitement and unease now that Selin was gone. She had always been fascinated by the human realm. That curiosity, born in childhood, had only grown after hearing Severed speak so highly of it.
The clock....a device that could measure time with perfect precision. She still remembered the day her grandmother placed a golden watch in her hands, how she explained its prototype worked with no mana, functioning entirely on its own. Even now, centuries later, their people had barely improved upon it. Modern versions used enchanted metal to draw tiny traces of ambient magic, but the core remained human.
A creation from a world without magic. And yet... humans had built wonders that left even mages speechless. The thought warmed her. Power wasn't everything. One didn't need immense mana or a legendary lineage to create something extraordinary. Humans had proven that. Zana smiled faintly.... Only to snap back to reality as Nicholas waved his hand in front of her face. Her cheeks flushed blue with embarrassment.
Hunter: - Oi Bimbo! The hell are you staring at?!
Zana: - S....Shut up, will you?! I was just thinking something!! That's all!
Hunter: - Really?! So what?! Think you can ignore me that easily?! Who do you think you are?!
Zana: - I am Zana Carus, of the Carus royal family. I'm a member of the Dark Butterflies and second in command of this squad.
The girl exclaimed with pride. Nicholas looked at her, amazed. Hunter just scoffed and rolled his eyes. Just then Severed latched himself on our protagonist's back and then jumped, landing on top of his head.
Nicholas: - H...Hey-...!!
Severed: - I apologize for the sudden intrusion of your personal space, but I couldn't help myself. Your hair is soft and fluffy. I hope this doesn't make you uncomfortable.
Nicholas: - N...no it's okay.
Hunter: - Tch, you're a freak through and through, aren't you?! Just when I thought you couldn't get any creepier, you just HAD to dress up like Tomura fucking Shigaraki!
Nicholas flinched.
Severed: - Well, the one you are referring to, is wearing his family's dead hands all over his body in order to suppress his phycological trauma. Nicholas here is simply letting me stay on top of his head. He isn't doing it to dress up like a psycho villain.
Zana: - Ew! Who would do such a thing?!
Nicholas: - It.... it's not what it sounds like! It's just a fictional character, that's all.
Zana: - Still gross.
Hunter: - How the fuck do you know that, you hand bastard?!
Severed: - I mean.... I do know everything about you two, since I read your minds. And please, do refrain from using such vulgar language.
Hunter didn't like to be told what to do. He was mad and the poor hand was the primary target for his rage. Before anything escalated, Nicholas suddenly came to a realization, after hearing the word "language".
Nicholas: - Wait a minute? How.... How come you understand English? Shouldn't it be impossible for us to share the same language, since.... You know... we're from a different world?
