Powerless Boy is reborn as Lustful Elf

Chapter 96: Sylra comes to visit

Chapter 96: Sylra comes to visitAlex pushed open the heavy oak door of the Elaris hold, the familiar scent of polished wood and blooming starflowers greeting him

His red eyes scanned the space, catching sight of Jusin, his broad frame leaning against a carved pillar, his sandy hair catching the glow, his expression warm but curious. "Hey, Jusin," Alex called, his voice light, a faint smile tugging at his lips as he crossed the foyer,

Jusin straightened, his blue eyes crinkling as he returned the greeting. "Alex, good to see you," he said, his voice deep

They exchanged pleasantries before Alex paused, his hands slipping into his pockets. "By the way, a friend’s coming over later," he said, his tone casual, his eyes flicking to Jusin’s

Jusin’s brows lifted, a spark of curiosity in his eyes. "A girl?" he asked, his voice teasing, his hand rubbing the back of his head, a gesture that betrayed a hint of uncertainty

Alex nodded, his smile widening. "Yeah," he said

Jusin’s hand stilled, his expression shifting, a mix of bemusement and unease. "I’ve never done this before," he admitted, his voice quieter, his blue eyes

They settled in Alex’s room, a cozy space with a carved desk, glowing orbs, and a window overlooking the evening sky which was a deepening blue.

Their conversation flowed easily, Sylra’s voice brighter, her golden hair catching the orb’s glow, the room’s intimacy a quiet space for their catch-up, the hold’s warmth a distant hum below.

A few moments later, a knock sounded, firm but hesitant, the door opening to reveal Jusin and Grielsa. Jusin’s broad frame filled the doorway, his blue eyes steady, his voice clear.

"We’ve got to do some shopping," he announced, his sandy hair catching the sconce’s light, his tone matter-of-fact, the hold’s quiet amplifying his words.

Grielsa stood beside him, her silver hair gleaming, her green eyes reluctant, her expression grudging, as if the errand was Jusin’s idea, her hands clasped tightly, the hallway’s glow casting faint shadows across her sharp features.

As they turned to leave Alex could swear he saw Jusin wink at him
