"Keep your distance!" Solvi barked, causing Jade to yelp and jump back as the dwarf glared at her.
"Why are you so mean?!" Jade cried.
"Because you're a pain!" Solvi growled in reply.
"I really think you should leave. Unless you're able to control your aura, no one is going to welcome your presence..." Eldrian tried to be soft, but having her power constantly trying to invade his mind certainly didn't help.
"But... I don't know how...!" Jade was on the verge of crying.
"Doesn't your family have some sort of secret technique handed down to help them hide their power?"
His question brought him a slow, depressed shake of the head.
"That can't be right. How the hell do you... I guess you don't live a normal life."
It strung how dry Eldrian's tone was, but Jade honestly couldn't argue. "But..."
"Yeah?" Doing his best to sound willing to listen, Eldrian waited patiently for Jade to say what was on her mind.
