Intro
In the cathedral corridor, Claude's soft yet thorny voice and Luka's raspy, young voice echoed.
My, how impressive. To think a little stray dog picked up from the gutter is now blinking in surprise under the protection of the next High Priest.
Did you come here today to learn how to put on a collar?
While wearing a perfectly gentlemanly smile, he spat out persistent venom that was hardly appropriate for a child more than a decade younger.
...Shut up. Luka glared at him with cold white eyes.
Oh, speak of the master.
Well, well, Lord Guest. I have a bit of a consultation regarding the training of this well-behaved stray dog.
As he spoke, Claude secretly reached out from behind and gave the tips of Luka's white hair a little tug.
Claude is messing with Luka again for no reason.
