Stationed over his body, wagging her hips like a pup, Talia tilted her head. "Master…" She gave his cheek a poke. "Master…. Master, you got to wake up."
"What are you doing?" Nia responded, walking in, carrying her spear on her shoulders.
Talia practically jumped to her feet. "N-N-Nia! You scared me! This Spirit Domain or Manipulation thing is crazy. Being able to hide oneself is scary."
Only now realizing that she was instinctually masking her aura with her Spirit, Nia scratched her cheek, recalling the matter of her master's battle with Iliana. The change they had all experienced through that formless connection had evolved their state of awareness and skill to a level they would have never obtained on their own.
"I get that, but what are you doing?"
"Trying to wake master up!" Talia mused, hopping down from the bed. She glided over to her sister. "Master needs to play with Talia."
"... You know you're not a child, right?"
