Reaction

Ingus's POV

"That's terrible...and...scary!" I said all trembling in fear from the book I just finished reading. As I was trying to brace myself, Vardus's voice echoed through my mind saving me from the atrocity of my thoughts.

Vardus: " In...Ingus...INGUS!!!"(screaming while shaking Ingus by his shoulders)

Ingus: " y-yeah..."(snapping from his trance)

Vardus: " Are you alright? Jeez you were frozen! (*taking all the remaining books away back to their place*) I-I think that's enough for now. I should have known this would have been a bad idea. Silly me. You're too young...I-I am sorry Ingus "

Uriel: " Vardus, I think you are overreacting...Don't you remember you reacted the same way (*chuckling before continuing*) you reacted like your father did when you got froze like that (*laughing a little*) Ingus will be fine, right Ingus?"

Ingus: "hm...I guess, but I do have a question Vardus"(looking worried at Vardus)

Vardus: " yeah...I'm all ears"

Ingus: "Maybe...with some privacy"

Uriel: " Aren't those cute discussing far away from old Uriel not to listen..."(faking tears)

Vardus: "oh give us a break!" (While following Ingus a bit further)

Ingus: " so about last night...that thing we saw...was it..."(interrupted by Vardus)

Vardus: "yes...and no"

Ingus: (looking confused) "how's that?!"

Vardus: " The thing we saw, was related to the Darkness described in the book you just read but it was only a ridiculously small extension of it"

Ingus: " What do you..."(interrupted by the donor's opening)

Vardus and Ingus went to see who entered, it appeared to be...

Vardus: " Hord?!" ( looking at Hordward who was a bit bent over looking down while catching his breath from what was supposed to be a hard walk or run)

Hordward: (raising a finger, to show he was still catching his breath)(*heavy panting*)

Vardus: " I thought you were training, weren't you?"(confused)

Uriel: " sure he did by his smell I guessed, and all the dirt HE BROUGHT TO THE LIBRARY, HOLY CRAP! HORDWARD DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET RID OF DUST HERE?" (Screaming in annoyance)

After some seconds Hordward regained his posture, his sight slowly reaching Vardus.

Hordward's POV

As I was finally catching my breath, I looked up to see Vardus confused, surely for seeing me right now. My gaze then turned to Uriel who was yelling at me from the dirt I brought ("oups"). As my eyes were drawing all the contours of the room, they got stuck by something...unexpected.

Hordward: " hey In..wait a minute...Why does Ingus look taller " (looking from head to toe realizing Ingus was on his feet)

Ingus: " yeah...I know, crazy right? Now you won't have to carry me on your back anymore "
