Mika blinked, genuinely caught off guard.
"Wait, hold on. What do you mean?"
She looked away again, clearly struggling to articulate something she found awkward.
"Earlier, when I saw the photos, the ones with the daughters, I didn't really mind."
"It was embarrassing, yes, and awkward, but those were girls your age. Your life, your choices. I wasn't going to say anything."
She hesitated, then added quietly,
"But the videos you showed me...those are older women. Much older women. And not only does it feel extremely strange that you're playing around with women who are twice your age or even more, especially in the case of elves and vampires who are definitely much older than you, but it also makes me really angry."
Mika stared at her, genuinely taken aback. Nadia was someone who had built her entire existence around staying calm and composed no matter the situation.
To see even a hint of real anger from her—anger she was openly admitting to was rare enough to surprise him.
