"Them again?" Bassena parted his lips when Zein told him about the result of Han Shin’s research. "With everything that happened between us and House Horin...somehow it doesn’t feel like a coincidence."
Zein nodded while tapping on his mug absentmindedly. Laying down on the armrest of the couch in the living room, he stared blankly at the ceiling. "Do you think it is them who chase after Han Joon?"

Bassena smirked and kissed the knee in front of him in delight. "Maybe I should start to see if I can crack that man--you know, the Vaski’s leftover."
"You’re a Vaski too, you know," Zein scoffed, nudging the esper’s thigh with the heel of his foot.

"Mm..."
