A startled yell escaped you when you were suddenly lifted in the air through your arms, simply relaxing and minding your own business until you were abruptly hoisted with no warning. As you thrashed and yelled at whoever your capturer was, you slowly came to a halt once taking a good look at them.

Draconia…? He didn’t seem very fazed by your thrashes either as if you weren’t even moving in general—he was only inspecting the position you were in as if he were doing an experiment.

His gloved hands were placed under your armpits as well as he held you up to eye-level, your legs dangling and hands holding his wrists to support yourself.

He then hummed and faced you, “I apologize if I startled you. Trappola simply told me that this is the more “proper” way to talk to someone of your size compared to my own. Although, I doubt it is—this seems like quite an odd way—but do you enjoy it by any chance?” Malleus inquires, tilting his head as he continued to carry you until he gets your answer.

His reveal at the fact Ace had told him to do this only made your eye twitch, mentally planning on giving the redhead a 6 hour lecture or worse after this.

“I find this position quite amusing, if anything.”
