He tried telling himself that Canary had that effect on everyone as an attempt to make himself feel better for constantly catching himself getting lost in her beauty. Dammit, she made it so hard to concentrate on what she was actually saying with a face like that! God, and why couldn't she have worn something less…skintight? That dress did wonders for her, of course but it certainly wasn't doing wonders for his mind!
"So cool!" Alluka gushed, beaming down at Canary's Hunter License.
Canary smiled. "There were many strong opponents during my examination. Thankfully, I was still able to pass."
"I'm not surprised." Alluka smiled sweetly at the woman sitting across from her, handing her back her license. "You've always been so strong, Canary!"
Canary giggled, smiling sheepishly. "Well, thank you very much, Alluka."
Killua smiled, happy to see the two of them getting along so well.
"What field do you specialize in, Canary?" Alluka asked.
"I honestly like to dabble in multiple fields," Canary explained, taking a sip from her smoothie. "It's hard to choose just one."
"Wow," Alluka gaped, eyes shining with fascination.
"I'm actually in the middle of a job right now," Canary continued. "I was simply passing through—" Canary paused, lips curving into a warm smile as her kind gaze flickered between Killua and Alluka. "—but I was very happy to see the two of you again."
She was just so beautiful. Getting to see her smile this much all in one sitting… It made him feel a little overwhelmed. She had always hid her emotions so well when she was still one of his most trusted butlers. But now she was so relaxed. Freedom looked good on her.
"Hm, I'm just happy that I don't ever have to hear you call me 'Killua-sama' again," Killua joked, flashing her a cheeky smile.
Canary laughed, returning the smile. "Yes, I've always liked 'Killua' better."
