At this point in time, Chenghai wasn't entirely sure what disturbed him more.
The fact that Rouxi casually held enough power in her hand to probably flatten a city block.
Or the fact that she was currently using that same core like a stress ball while eating barbecue chips.
The massive green crystal spun lazily through the air above her hand before dropping back down into her palm with an easy rhythm that made Chenghai increasingly nervous every single time she tossed it.
His head went up and down as she absently threw the core into the air and caught it again.
Up.
Down.
Up.
He held his breath as she leaned forward to eat another chip. She was going to miss it. He closed his eyes, waiting for the damn thing to explode.
But the only thing he heard was the sound of it dropping into her palm like a well trained dog.
"Could you maybe stop doing that?" Lingyun asked finally as he watched the core flip through the air again.
Rouxi caught it one handed. "What? Why?"
