Everything about the situation screamed danger, and every instinct in Darius's body told him to refuse. To walk away before he got himself in too deep.
But as he met Liam's gaze, he realized something else—
He couldn't refuse.
Not without making it obvious that he was backing down.
Not without making it clear that he was scared.
And that… was not an option.
Darius forced a grin onto his face.
"Hah… Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt. It's always better to have a partner, right? Let this senior show you how it is done."
He said casually, despite the fact that every fiber of his being screamed at him to run.
Liam's smile widened, but somehow, that only made Darius more uneasy.
"Good. Let's go."
Liam said, releasing Darius's shoulder. Liam's smile felt predatory and it made Darious flinch when he looked at him.
Asger, still perched on Liam's shoulder, let out an amused chuckle.
"Oh, this is going to be fun."
Darius swallowed.
