Unfortunately for Louis, his hearing remained quite decent despite his old age, and so Lux's attempt at scaring the living daylights out of the boy worked like a charm. He jumped on the spot, turning around sharply and feeling his heart threatening to burst from his chest.
"
Lux!" he let out in a breathless sigh, hand coming to rest on his chest as if to calm his beating heart.
Was she trying to kill him?!
The boy gave her a small smile as he regained his composure. "Fancy seeing you here," he commented casually. 'Cause, y'know, he hadn't really seen her in a while. Since the chaotic Valentine's event, anyway.
