Minori whined from his teasing, and his nip sliced through her retort, causing her to yip in surprise and pull back. Corvus chuckled, but his smile dropped when he noticed her shocked gaze focusing on something over his shoulder. Instinctively, he whipped around, expecting to see some kind of threat, but it was just Issun fleeing from the scene. But why was he running? If he had such an issue with... whatever it was they were doing, he should have confronted him about it. Coward. Minori called for him, but it was no use; Issun was already too far to come back, now.

He turned back towards Minori when she spoke again, and she apologized and voiced her confusion by Issun's actions. Corvus could hear the hurt and confusion in her voice, backed by anger bubbling just beneath the surface from it all, and it brought a flame to life in his chest. So even she didn't know why he ran, which meant they weren't in any sort of official romantic relationship. He was glad to cross that one off the list, but Issun wouldn't run for no reason. If Minori didn't understand his reason for running, that could mean he had hidden feelings for her. The thought made a growl want to form in his throat, but he swallowed it down.

Perhaps there is something he's not telling you, Corvus said vaguely, not wanting to claim something that wasn't true based on shaky assumptions. He had to bite back the growl that wanted to creep into his voice, surprising himself by how worked up he was becoming over something so insignificant. Was it truly insignificant, though?
