What? I thought, looking around the room, at all the excited faces to see me but are far too nervous to get closer than two feet from me.
So … does this mean that I have … a body now? I thought, looking down at my hands. Right? It feels … real.
"How are you feeling, Orion?" Altair asked, voice trembling. It is only then that I noticed just how much blood he is covered in. "Are you alright? Discomfort anywhere? Does it hurt?"
I opened my mouth to speak but my tongue feels so heavy and my jaws are clenched shut, not allowing me to pry it open with my bare strength.
"Orion?" Altair asked, taking a small step forward to me. "Are you alright?"
When I still did not speak, he turned to the other two standing beside him, the concern on his face growing as the minutes passed.
"Do you think something is wrong?" Nova asked, clenching his fists while trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.
