Then she had to go and ruin it.
The statement had his eyebrows raising, a curious gleam to his blue eyes. "Oh did she?" But before he could ask what kind of juicy gossip they'd been sharing, Soh's voice was floating along the Attuned bond. It shouldn't surprise him that Flora had told her. After all, they looked as close as sister's when he'd seen them before, and girls liked to chat - specifically about guys. If anything, he supposed he should be flattered that the Queen knew about him at all. It spoke volumes of his reputation, the one he'd spent years cultivating and proving. However, it didn't come without the occasional downside, and Soh seemed like the kind of person who would balk at the profession.
Regardless, she'd proven him wrong before, and Ace gave her a charming grin as he leaned against the counter to face her better. Why? Were you looking to buy? Not an admission, but certainly not a denial of her subtle accusation.
