I watched as Alyce's eyes glazed over as she got a mind link. Rian and I waited patiently until she was done, though he took the opportunity to get right up close to her face, inspecting her eyes. I was quite certain he had never seen eyes as pale and translucent as hers. He was an old soul in a pup's body.
As she started to come out of it, he plopped back down in her lap and laid his head on her shoulder. I rested my chin on her shoulder lightly, "Mat?"
"Yes, they're about an hour away."
"We should go and get ready then." I sent a quick mind link out to Kami and Brandon to let them know to meet us in about 45 minutes at the front.
"Yeah." She nodded and looked at Rian. "Alright little man, I'm gonna need you to let me up. It's time for me to go."
Rian's eyes instantly filled with tears and he clung to her. "No! You can't go!"
