Lillian pulled Ray back to the tree they were sitting under as he came in and made him sit there as well.
"Why am I here?" he asked, looking about him.
"You are stressed." She said, smiling as she sat down beside him.
"I have work to do, Lillian." he was about to stand up again but she laid her head on his lap and he couldn't stand up anymore. "Lillian. Move."
"No." She said, smiling. "Fawn, can you put up the barrier again? Does it take too much of your magic?"
"Hardly, Saintess." She said, smiling as she placed the barrier up again.
Roman winked at Lillian and floated up to the tree's branch again, laying there as the sun's rays fell on him while the world seemed to calm down as they all remained under that tree.
The world went on as they watched with interest. Mothers and fathers with their children, other kids running around the place and the construction work that is going on.
