What Have You Done?

Liu Hao Yu looked down at me, his green eyes sparkling with delight. 

Huh, I hadn't noticed the color of his eyes before, and was that a red dragon tattoo coming up from under the collar of his shirt?

I really must be out of it. 

I continued to study him in clothes that now seemed too small and too tight as he went over to Bin An Sha and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the man, facing the glass patio doors. "You do what you need to do; I'll stand here and protect you."

He shot me a smile over his shoulder before turning his attention back to where the others stood, staring at us. 

I plunged my hands as deep into the grass as I could, and I felt myself connecting to the root system. The pulse of the earth hummed in my ears as the roots took me straight to a spot where many footprints were pressing down on the plants and soil.
