Arthur strode through the halls, paying little mind to the whispers of the maids or the respectful nods of the knights as he scrolled through his system notifications. He chuckled at the EP gained from drinking Clara's milk before something clicked, prompting him to ask, "Hey, Sol… was it normal for Clara to act like that?"
[Like what?] Sol teased.
"Don't pretend you didn't see anything."
[Oh, I did see,] Sol replied, a hint of a smirk in his voice. [But it was your skill, Sensual Pheromone, that likely made her more… expressive. It's a passive skill, you know, and it activates when someone with high affection is nearby.]
"Oh, so she already had feelings for me?"
[Exactly. The skill just gave her the courage to act on it.] Sol's tone was matter-of-fact.
"Hmm," Arthur mused.
