“Stay close to me,” she muttered. 

She blinked and sighed, but did so.

No use in worrying the younger girl.

Aela pulled out her crossbow and sad, singular bolt.

She looked up at him.

"Er- hi. Is something wrong?"

 

Intellect frowned, then gave her a silvery monocle. “I think… I think you should have this.”

She took it, a little reluctant to put it on at first.

"What does it do?"

“It lets you see threads at some level - not nearly as much as Felicity should, but it will help.”

"Er- yep, right. Got it."

She stuck the monocle in her pocket and hefted the crossbow in both hands.

Well, she didn't want to break it or anything.

"But it could break."

"It's like glasses but for one eye. People wear glasses all the time. It won't break."

Yeah, but people's glasses break all the time, too, she sighed to herself.

"How do you know it won't break?"

"How do you know it won't break?"

"An object powerful enough to let you see Threads likely wouldn't break easily."

True . . .

She sighed and pulled the monocle out again.

Why not?

She put it on and, since the attackers weren't quite there yet, grinned at Felicity.

"How do I look?"

She looked at her, staring blankly for a couple seconds, but eventually her face softened.

"Smart.. and beautiful."

Oh.

Well, she certainly hadn't been expecting that.

"Aw, thanks," she smiled.

"You're beautiful too, y'know."

Aela's anxiety returned a little, but she turned towards the attackers as well.

She felt the shift in Aela’s mood and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you stay safe.”

That's what worries me.

She squeezed Felicity's hand back, still anxious.
