She giggled at his statement, “I’m going to take that as a compliment.” She grinned at him, just kinda standing there with a grin on her face as she looked at him.

“Hah,” was his only response. Why was she so cute? She was just grinning at him, that’s all. He tried not to stare at her.

"What? What are you looking at?" She noticed he was just kinda staring at her and not really saying anything.

“You, obviously.” He blinked at her, then reached up and tapped her nose.

She kinda pulled back a little bit when he tapped her nose, like kinda In shock and like a cat. "Huh-?"

He just snickered. "What else would I be looking at?"

She felt her face flush as he started to snicker. "Oh- uhm- I don't know." She put a hand on her neck and chuckled a little.

Something made Lucian sigh. Despite wanting to, he couldn't take his eyes off her. "Just so you know… caring about me is a mistake. I'm going to disappoint you or hurt you at some point."

“I don’t think it is. No matter even if you disappointment or hurt me. I still will care for you.”

This made him blush faintly. “You—“ he stopped himself and looked away. Then he froze. He sensed someone approaching, someone familiar— and powerful.
“You should leave,” he told her. “My sister is coming this way.”

"Oh. Yeah your right." She nodded, she moved close to the the exit before leaving out the way she came in.

He watched her as she left, sighing to himself. He didn’t know how to feel about this. He found himself wishing she could stay, yet was glad that she was leaving and taking all of these new, strange feelings with her.
He shook himself. His sister couldn’t find him like this. He stood up and a grim expression masked his face.

His sister soon showed up, walking into the building and finding his brother.
"Lucien? How did it go? I'm assuming she escaped since she's not here.

“She ruined everything,” he huffed. “Sabotaged the trap somehow and got away.” It was partly true. Lucian approached his sister, closing the gap between them.

she raised a brow at her brother, thinking about before just shaking her head with a sigh. "Well then we will just have to build a better trap next time. No more nets, how about a metal box?' She spoke, smirking a bit at her brother. "how's she gonna sabotage that?"

“A metal box?” He pursed his lips. “But isn’t that more obvious? How would that make the trap better?” He asked.

"well yes if it were just a plain metal box then obviously it wouldn't work. However…if we put something of value to her inside…she wouldn't hesitate to try and go in and get it out. Plus we could camouflage the box it to make it seem like it isn't there." She smirked.

"That’s true…" He put his hand to his chin. “She would be smart enough to know it was a trap, so it at least has to be something she can’t ignore.” He was thinking about this purely logically at the moment.
