Chapter 321
ALEK STEPPED CLOSE TO CAT, grabbing her hands and stared into her bewildered eyes.
'It's okay. It's nothing to panic about. Are you all well?'
Her jaw ajar Cat stared for an instant before shaking her head in confusion.
'What? Of course, we're well.'
Realizing that the others also wore bemused expressions he clarified.
'The earth move, it's nothing to worry about.'
'Yes,' Cat said while squinting at him. 'Yes, we know that.'
The sense of urgency and panic that he'd rushed here with, along with the other men halted awkwardly.
'Errr- you do?' Alek paused to look at them all. Cat, Sian, Kassie, and Loi looked unperturbed. Citaan looked harried but then Rirae screamed and kicked in her arms, ignoring any attempts to soothe her. Turning, Alek spotted Leseach. The Northerner stood with tensed shoulders, her hands in balled fists at her sides as she eyed everyone. Her fast darting gaze and grey toned skin suggested they had felt the earth move.
'It did shake here, yes?'
