La Rocha froze. His gloved hand, poised elegantly on the tea tray like he was about to critique Damon’s posture, began to tremble. His eyes widened, the pupils shrinking to pin-dots as he stared at Damon, as he had just witnessed a newborn duckling casually lift a mountain.
"You... you opened your soul sea?"
Damon leaned back into the couch and gave him a lazy grin. "Mm-hmm."
"How? How is it possible? You entered the Ascended realm already? But you were just... no, no, no way... absolutely not!" La Rocha’s voice pitched up an octave, then another, until he was practically screeching. "This defies every foundational law! It is simply impossible!"
The tea tray clattered in his hands. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Aurora, who was happily curled up on Damon’s lap, blinked and looked at Damon in a daze. From the twinkling stars in her eyes, it was clear that she was also aware of the soul sea. "Hubby, you really opened up your soul sea?"
"Mmm.. Hmmm..." Damon nodded. "It was nothing much."
"Nothing much? Nothing much? What the hell are you talking about? Since when did you, a brute gorilla, become so adept with the soul? What kind of fortuitous encounter did you come across? Tell me everything in detail! I need to do in-depth research on this!"
Seeing his reaction, Aurora snorted into Damon’s neck, trying very hard not to laugh. Damon just smirked and stroked her thigh lazily.
"We can talk about all of that later. For now, let’s come to more important things, shall we? Aren’t you bound to my soul?" Damon smirked and then leaned forward with a wicked look. "So how about you try and enter my soul space?"
La Rocha went rigid. Then... Clang. He dropped the tray. Porcelain shattered across the marble floor. "You... you want me... to enter your soul space?" He whispered, voice barely audible. "You have lost your mind, ant. Do you really think that opening a weak soul sea would enable you to house my brilliance? You will explode! You will cease to exist! Your mind and soul will be shattered!"
Damon frowned. "Hmmm... Are you saying the truth, or are you just trying to keep me from your precious fortress? You know you are not supposed to lie to me, right? Contractually."
"Of course, I am not lying, you arrogant fool. You might have stepped on some shitty luck and somehow opened up your soul sea, but you won’t survive if I try to integrate with your soul space. My existence alone would crush your puny foundation! Your soul walls would implode like wet paper mashed by a divine boulder! You would die. Horribly. Painfully. And very stupidly!"
Aurora blinked, impressed. "Wow. He’s really scared of your awesomeness, hubby."
"I am not scared of anything!" La Rocha snapped. "I am concerned. Concerned for the integrity of my irreplaceable brilliance, which may be damaged if your flimsy soul explodes around me!"
