*Voom**Voom*...
*Tap**Tap*...
Only the sound of the wheel of an Elliptical machine (aka cross trainer), and the sound of steps on the Stair mill (aka stair climber) were the sounds that could be heard inside the gym.
Both Luna and Alex were doing their own sets of exercises.
Luna was using the Elliptical machine, while Alex was running up the stairs on the stair mill.
Both of them were busy with their own work, well, if we ignore the fact that Luna would sneak some glances at Alex from time to time, then yeah, they were busy with their own workouts.
The silence had been maintained since Luna explained how her 'memory manipulation' worked.
Alex had been deep within his thoughts, thinking about how he could make use of this knowledge.
He had the commanding ability of Supreme Human bloodline for Humans, but for other species, he was at a loss, so if he could come up with a way to more effectively use his incubus aura, then maybe he could control other races as well.
Alex kept thinking of ways until he finally gave up after not finding anything good enough to fit his taste.
Your journey continues with mvl
But then he noticed a pair of eyes sneaking glances at him now and then.
'Can you be more obvious...?'
Alex chuckled inwardly.
Luna didn't notice that Alex had broken out of his thoughts and now he was looking at her, she kept staring at his body.
Luna, who had been with Alex for more than three months, knew that once Alex went deep in his thoughts, he would start ignoring his surroundings.
Which meant that she could stare at him all she wanted, though she couldn't make it too obvious.
But as she was checking out Alex, she noticed that his body which was supposed to be turned sideways was now facing toward her.
'....uh.'
Luna was not dumb, she understood what was happening.
She didn't look up in Alex's eyes, rather, she started walking toward him.
'Oh?'
Alex who saw Luna walking in his direction raised a brow.
'What's she up to now?'
Alex looked at Luna curiously, observing her closely.
Luna, however, was still looking down as she marched forward, and just when Alex was expecting her to stop in front of him and look into his eyes, Luna walked right past him.
Alex's eyes followed Luna until he saw her picking up her sipper that was placed in the same direction he was standing at.
In fact, the sipper was right behind him.
*Chuckle*
"Huh?"
Luna frowned her brows.
"But I didn't do anything, and if we look at it right now, it was me who was saved by them."
She didn't understand what Alex was thanking her for.
"What if Alice wasn't able to react in time?
What if she didn't see the attack coming?
What if she couldn't take on the attack because she tried to save the others?
There are more what-ifs for me to say, but I can tell you one thing, if you didn't do what you did, then the situation could've turned out to be worse."
Alex seriously pointed it out.
"You should take the credit for what you did."
Alex added as he shook his head.
"But I was the one who was saved."
Luna muttered in a low voice, but it was enough for Alex to hear it.
"Sigh...."
Alex sighed audibly.
"I will say it again, and you should accept it as well, you were not a liability there, you were the reason that everything got solved without a problem."
Alex reminded Luna, he wanted her to take credit for what she did, and not blame herself for being useless.
He had noticed it and so had Alice and Ann, from the time Luna was saved by Alice and Ann, she would often get lost in her thoughts.
It was fine if she was just lost in her thoughts, but everyone in the house could tell that Luna was going through some internal struggle.
She was fighting herself or blaming herself for something.
And Alex, just like everyone else didn't want her to do that.
Luna always keeps smiling on the surface, so it's hard to tell what's really going on in her head, but for Alex, she's easy to read.
He couldn't read her mind, but he could still guess what kind of feeling she was trying to hide with that smile of hers.
"But I really-"
Luna shook her head, trying to deny it again, but Alex cut her words.
"Did you know how strong both of them were?"
