Presently
~Present Day, Hegatha’s Floating Swamp Island~
Jay cracked his eyes open with a smile, amused by two things her saw today from his time hosting in Sweeper’s eyes.
He used all his willpower to stop himself from bursting into laughter when he saw Asra trying to pull away from Hegatha’s healing practice, pulling herself along the table. Jay pitied the young vampire, more so than when he found her in the vine-bear’s cocoon.
And then there was the moment Hegatha approached his cube-bone room. The skeletons didn’t need to give her any verbal warning, not that they could. All it took was for them to crouch into a combat stance and raise their weapons, and as he watched from Sweeper’s eyes he could feel the fear that Hegatha showed when she froze in her tracks before slowly and cautiously stepping back. Her face looked so shocked and she didn’t even dare to take a breath in that moment.
