Cedric looked away with a smile, while rubbing a finger against his nose. After a few seconds, he turned to her then said curiously, "Now you've got me curious."
"…?"
When Aika arched a brow, he added softly, "Why the sudden hobby?"
Aika scoffed. "Why? Can't I sing?"
"No I mean…" he paused, because she knew damn well what he meant.
Aika chuckled and looked away. A few seconds of silence passed between them, and then, her expression turned wistful.
As the morning wind played with her long dark hair, Aika lowered her head and sighed. Eventually, she spoke up.
"Do you know what I lived through while under the effects of the Witch's Sweet Dream?"
Cedric's expression slowly darkened.
The Witch's Sweet Dream was one of his best moments and also his most harrowing moments. The memory of that spell was still fresh in his mind even up till now, and he so badly wanted to forget it.
