ALTHOUGH he was very shocked by this sudden turn of events, Astrid quickly forced himself to calm down. If he showed any weird reaction here, it would surely just have a negative effect on him and his brother.
But even though he recovered fairly quickly, Reas still noticed his abnormal reaction.
He leaned down a bit and whispered, "Are you okay?"
Astrid raised his head and saw the inquiring and worried gaze of his brother. Reas probably noticed his reaction. Which didn't surprise him. After all, the two of them were pretty sensitive to one another's emotional changes.
"Yeah," he said but grasped his brother's hand and wrote something on his palm.
'Cassius Grimaldi'.
Reas eyes widened a bit when he realized what his brother wrote. Cassius Grimaldi? The captain just now called the silver-haired man 'Cassius'. If that's all, then wouldn't mean much. But Astrid added a 'Grimaldi' to that name, then it would have a totally different meaning.
