When the circle got quiet, Mendras peaked one eye open. Naros sat on one side of him. His face so full of concentration, Mendras was afraid he’d pop a vein from the pressure. He reached out with one paw but dropped it halfway. It’s just meditation. If there was any sort of danger here, Pyrri wouldn’t allow this. The more Mendras hung around with Naros, the more he was starting to notice how the puller attracted trouble. Mendras resolved to keep checking on him, should he somehow find a way to explode from sitting still.
He turned to peak down at Ethel, sitting on his other side. Her one eye was closed and unlike Naros, her face was much more serene. He observed the minute changes in her face. Her brow furrowing, lips twitching, a small nod of her head. Then a shake. Did she… fall sleep? That was quite unlike her.
Her brow furrowed even deeper then she blinked her eye open and turned to look at him. He quickly pulled his head back, his ears flattening in embarrassment. He hadn’t realized how close he had gotten while watching her.
*Creep.* He ignored his inner voice.
“So… how was it?” He asked, hoping the heat in his face wasn’t reflected in his markings.
“Um… interesting?” Her own face was a mix of emotion. Each one flitting across her face too fast for Mendras to read.
“Just interesting?”
“Didn’t you feel it?” She asked. She wasn’t looking at him anymore.
“Ah, no. I was too busy watching this one.” Mendras motioned to Naros, whose face was just starting to relax. “He looked like he was gonna pop with how hard he was focusing.”
Ethel smiled but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. Something bothered her.
“Well, from what I saw, it looked…complex, to say the least.” Mendras continued. “What was it like?”
Her eye flicked up to his face and back down again a few times, as if she couldn’t quite look at him. Finally, she shrugged. “Something like it. It’s quite bizarre and… incredibly insightful. You should give it a try.” She hesitated then quickly got up. “I’m going to go for a walk. I need to think.”
Or at least that was Mendras thought she said. She already up and away before she finished what she was saying, leaving him to stare after her.
“Is your girlfriend upset?” Naros whispered. He had one eye open.
Mendras sputtered, suddenly caught off guard by his words. He was getting heated now. The blue glow was radiating from his face. His words tumbled out in a hiss. “S-she’s my lady! That’s all! A-and shut up, she’s fine!
Or at least he hoped.
