Nowhere

The loud thud on the floor had Iryz gasping out in shock. Her hands flew to cover her mouth for a moment before she frantically scrambled on both hands and knees towards the edge of the bed. She had not expected her own response to come so quickly like a reflex action.

She looked down at Zeres who was sprawled on the floor beside her bed, guilty and worried. "Are… are you…" her voice trailed off at the sight of him, lying unmoving on the floor. His expression was… he looked genuinely shocked. It was as though he was still wondering what had just happened in his life.

Iryz could not help the laugh that was bubbling and about to burst out of her lips. He did not even move a single inch as he continued to lie there on his back, staring up at her bedroom ceiling.

"You okay?" she asked again, struggling and finally managing to swallow her laugh.
