Holo immediately sensed the strange atmosphere and looked dubiously out from beneath her hood.
The boy smiled slightly. "...If you mean do I not fully believe, then yes, I doubt them. But in school, I learned a lot about reconciling the existence of gods. So it... | And the next moment—

Holo looked at him, pained perhaps at the shortness of his answer.

Though he always found himself confused by Holo's roundabout way of speaking, this sort of exchange was one Lawrence understood all too well.
The buzzing in his chest was an emotion not unlike love.
... | There was no doubt that if she removed her scarf, she'd be smiling and showing her fangs at that very moment.
He thought he understood now what Holo meant when she called Eve a "vixen."
As a merchant, Eve was very like a wolf, but Holo did not want to acknowledge her as a peer.

"So, you had something to ask me?" Eve broke the silence as she watched Col slowly savor the bread, unlike the way he had wolfed down the portion Lawrence had given him earlier.
"Yes, about a cursed story."

"Ah, the talk of this... | "You're a merchant who buys with coin, are you not? So are you your companion's ally or her enemy? Are you righteous? Or...are you evil?"
Col froze, suddenly surprised.
It was true—Lawrence was a merchant who made money and dealt with goods on those terms.

Eve was a merchant's merchant.

Lawrence drooped his head respect... | He was a good, honest lad, and for him to doubt anyone at all was not in his nature.
Lawrence was musing upon this when Col suddenly looked up at him with such a look of extreme consternation on his face that Lawrence couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
Evidently, Col was often like this.

Regardless of how he should have answered, Holo seemed satisfied with the pained way he bobbed his head.

Had her ears been twitching because she had heard Col's approaching footsteps?
"What's the matter?" Col asked.

She seemed a bit surprised upon looking at the color of the cloth after giving her neck a once-over.

There was no mistaking that given a few years, Col would turn into a pleasant young man.
Lawrence could think of nothing that would refute the obvious prediction.
Neither, he was sure, could Holo.
As they walked, she smiled happily and held Col's hand, which may well have been an investment on her part.
