"You sure you don't need us?" Barton asked again, worriedly looking at her, his hands deep in his pockets.
Naomi was standing there, a smile on her face with Axle by her side.
"No, It's okay... I'll be fine."
"Remember. Just a mind-link away." Daniel chipped in, reminding her.
"It's just a meeting, not like I'm about to fight a war. I'll. Be. Fine. The meeting will go well."
"I hope so." Barton mumbled. "Anyway, I have to help mum with shopping for the things we need for tomorrow's ceremony."
With that, he turned away to leave. Daniel and Naomi locked gazes for sometime before he finally turned and left in Barton's direction.
'You ready?' Axle calmly asked as Naomi sighed for the nth time, still at the door.
She suddenly smiled again as she grabbed the door knob.
'Yeah.'
As she pushed the door open, she noticed the silent murmurs in the room ceased, and she froze as Ten pairs of eyes stared at her.
