"Little Nero, you better watch out. Don't get too close to that bitch—I mean Azalea. She's dangerous."
Nero didn't immediately react to Adam's warning; for some reason, he felt a warm current spreading through him, a feeling he didn't dislike.
Finally, he responded.
"Thank you," he said, smiling genuinely, clearly appreciating Adam's warning.
For some reason, Adam felt that his warning was unnecessary, as if Nero was already aware of what kind of person Azalea truly was. But what surprised the dwarf was Nero's smile; it was captivating. He was certain that if he were a female, he would have fallen for him on the spot. That was how dangerous Nero's smile was.
In situations like these, when a friend who rarely smiled finally does, the next action should typically be to suggest that they smile more often. However, Adam wasn't going to say that.
