Through The Living Glass

Meh It's okay Depends on where you get it

A bird swooped down from somewhere and stole someone's hat, then flew away.

She followed. Shoe was right behind her, holding Beosta's hand.

"Ah. That's okay. We all get scared sometimes." Reluctantly, Aela let go of Felicity and smiled at her, facing the attackers.

"You were just what?" she asked gently.

"I'm not going to leave you," she reaffirmed.

"I would never do that! It's okay . . ."

F

"No, no! Of course I'm not mad, Felicity. It's not your fault, anyway." She gave her a hug.

Litika unstrapped and stepped outside, taking in the tumultuous scenery.

Okay D

She smiled back sheepishly. You're welcome. Um- do you want to go first?

Oh. Oh, that was . . . A chill ran down her spine. She didn't want anyone to be able to read her thoughts! Those were private, and hers, and not anyone else's, and . . . And . . . . . . Actually . . . this wasn't all that different from having Intellect in her head, was it? In fact, since Felicity had acquired the power of one of the Great Spirits- there was no difference. Besides, if she was fine with letting Intellect read her thoughts, why not Felicity? She cared about the girl far more, anyway. She stepped forward and put a hand on Felicity's shoulder. "It's alright. I don't mind," she said softly.

Don't worry 'bout it B

Thanks

Aela watched her, worried. ". . . Felicity? What's going on?" "No she-" She paused. Intellect had been able to read her mind still . . . though she wasn't sure about Madness . . . She looked at Felicity apprehensively. . . . Can you?

Erm okay Let's not make those jokes right now, please

Aela noticed. "What?"

Your what? NEIL?? :D:D

She shrugged. Your opinion still matters.

Hmm . . . To be fair, she had taken up Mirth's Threads . . . she'd probably just sensed how Aela was feeling. She sighed. "Sorry. There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect me . . . it's just that I'm worried the Threads changed you, somehow." That you're not the same person.

She winced. Well I- I'm not leaving you alone, either. I would have just stayed with you either way.

Apparently

Her eyes narrowed. "How did you know it was worrying me?"
