I looked deeper in myself.
In search of something. The thinnest connection I could find to Christina.
"Christina... are you there?" I asked the darkness.
No response.
Was the connection one-sided? If so, how long do I have to wait until she reached out again?
No. I can't just wait.
There must be a way to strengthen it. Widen the connection enough for it to be two-way.
But what?
"You fucking nerd! You stole my clothes didn't you?"
Oh, fuck... They're at it again.
I pulled out of my meditation and opened my eyes to see Trixy and Arthur having another squabble.
We settled near a clear stream as the sun was about to set. The trip to get here was... as expected. Two teenagers in close proximity, conflict was inevitable.
The big-ass spider that Queen Shayla gave us for transport gave me a tired look.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Must be hell to hear them bicker on our way here huh?
