Axel's face, which had traces of excitement in it, now deflated like a punctured balloon. It was like he was lifted to heaven only to be dropped back into hell. Lucien couldn't keep his poker face seeing that, he burst out laughing with no holding back.
Axel gave him an unamused look, but the guy kept laughing nonstop. But Axel was reminded of Lumina by that, sigh, both siblings were indeed familiar, at least in some ways.
After a minute, when he was done, Lucien looked at Axel, who was looking at him with a frosty expression. He sighed and recollected himself. He stated with a chuckle,
"Come on, Axel, don't be such a killjoy now. I swear you're too much like Sophia sometimes."
Axel's eyelids moved slightly in surprise at that comment, for a moment even Lucien himself seem to be surprised at that revelation, but they both disregarded that thought moments after, Axel remarked internally, 'I'm nothing like that bitch.'
