“Oh!” Lavi suddenly recalled something of most importance as he placed his fist on his palm. Miranda blinked in confusion at her comrade, they were just talking a minute ago…

“You guys haven’t really met before, Right?” He pointed to the one who just walked in, Miranda slowly turned to where he was pointing, sure enough the tallest member of the Order, Krory, who stopped when he was pointed at.

“Well…” the young red head put his hands to her back while she was distracted and pushed her forward towards Krory, “Say hi!”

‘S-scary’ she thought to herself, staring up at the giant compared to herself. Krory blinked in slight confusion and possibly nervousness at the way she looked at him.
But regardless, he gently coughed into his fist to clear his throat before suddenly taking her hand and bowing deeply.

“Delighted to meet you. I am Baron Aryster Krory the Third”

The German was beyond shocked, she flinched the moment he touched her and froze as he spoke. Not only was it…completely different than she had expected but no one of the opposite sex had EVER treated her like…like an actual lady before.

Her face turned bright red, for a moment forgetting to speak.

“Ah…uh…M-Miranda Lotto…” she was somehow able to sputter out.

He placed a tiny kiss on her hand before standing, giving her a big goofy smile, with his huge fangs and all. Again, the poor girl froze over.

“See? He’s not a big scary guy like he looks!” Lavi piped up, smacking Krory on the shoulder as a small friendly gesture. Krory laughed nervously, blushing lightly.

Definitely not scary.

“R-right…well if you would excuse me” Krory cleared his throat and started to leave but paused, giving her another gentlemen like smile.

“Nice to meet you Miss Lotto”

Still in a state of shock from such a small kiss to the hand, all she could do was nod lightly and watch him walk off. Lavi soon followed, waving goodbye and possibly saying something to her but she wasn’t listening. After all this time she watched Krory rip apart his enemies and practically eat them, and he was probably the only man on the planet that spoke to her in such a way that made her want to melt.

She silently smiled to herself, gently stroking the place where he had kiss her…then blinked, bringing her hand closer to her face for examination.

“…Lipstick?”
