Alessio peeked up again when Arsene tumbled in carrying a strange bag.

What did you just steal?

With an unusually kind smile, he handed the bag to Leana. Alessio stared at it inquisitively. And then blinked because he wasn’t as suspicious of the contents as he should be. What just happened, why isn’t he more wary of Arsene, he’s wary of everyone!? And Arsene didn’t exactly have a glowing record when it came to this!?

“I hear chocolate is a good comfort food.” Arsene attempted to her.

Chocolate? Alessio perked up just slightly, remembering that strange food they’d found…somewhere in the castle tunnels when Nithel was with them. It was…really good…

Waiiit. Never trust food someone gives you.

This was Arsene, he wasn’t suspicious of that.

This was Arsene, why wasn’t he suspicious?

Alessio almost started biting his knuckles again but caught himself, squinted at Arsene, stared at the floor, and blinked bewilderedly. He didn’t want to trust Arsene, trusting people was bad, trusting people let them hurt you. But Nithel hadn’t hurt him and Arsene…hadn’t hurt…him…

So Alessio just stood there, confused, not looking at anybody.
