Hekkel

Ves stared at Hekkel.

Hekkel stared at Ves.

The two had been going about it ever since they entered of the living rooms of his current home.

Meanwhile, Aurelia, Andraste and Marvaine giggled as they gathered around Lucky and poked him around.

"Meow!... Meow!... Meow!..."

While the kids showered their attention onto the gem cat, Clixie conspicuously rested on the top of Hekkel's distinctive archeshell.

"Miaow."

The vigilant expression on the Rubarthan Sentinel Cat's head showed that she had been keeping an eye on the alien captive for a time.

While there was no way an unarmed arche could pose a threat to Gloriana or any of the kids on account of their personal shield generators, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Not only were the guards keeping a close eye on the arche, but they had also installed a couple of restraints and safeguards that could instantly immobilize the alien as soon as he made any threatening actions.
