Moving past Vivian, who was struggling internally with what Eldrian had said, Eldrian indicated for Ceph to follow him. The once innocent childish Alicorn, now a mature almost distant teenager. Eldrian still did not understand how, though he could guess with ease the why.
"Sorry that I haven't had time to catch up."
"It's okay." Ceph replied, "Why did you want to talk in private, and why not just for a telepathic link?"
"Because I feel we're no longer as close. I did not want to force a link." Eldrian paused and looked at the scar across Ceph's collarbone, sticking out just slightly from under his clothes.
"It was from a ghoul."
Eldrian nodded, there wasn't much else he could think of that would leave a scar on Cephaphyr, on an Alicorn- maybe a demon. "How bad was it?"
Ceph looked at him slightly confused.
"I've felt the torment it can put you under. Are you okay?"
