Just as Ray was about to speak again, something tugged at the edge of his mind. His eyes widened, and a big smile spread across his handsome face. In an instant, he stood up, startling Eric.
"Ray, what's going on?" Eric asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.
Ray turned to him, his excitement barely contained. "She's coming out," he said, his voice brimming with anticipation.
Eric blinked, taken aback. "She? Who are you talking about?"
Ray's gaze shifted as if looking beyond the room, his connection to the little beast growing stronger. "The Egg" he said, his voice softening with emotion. "It's hatching."
Eric's confusion melted into understanding. He had heard Ray mention the egg before but had never seen it. "You mean your beast familiar?"
Ray nodded, his smile never fading. "Yes, it's about time she get out."
