The Changes He Missed [Pt 1]

Rey sat on his bed in silence, his gaze directed at the floating Ater who sat in midair.

He hadn't forgotten that his Familiar could do that, but something about seeing him get so comfortable in the air seemed bizarre every single time.

Still, other than a slight smile of amusement, he didn't display any other emotion. His exposed eye simply stared blankly as he made himself comfortable on the luxurious bed that Ater had prepared for him.

'It's just like Esme's bed. How did he know that I prefer this…?' 

Right now, Rey was in a black long-sleeve shirt, with dark trousers covering most of his legs. He was barefoot, though, so his feet and hands were exposed as he sat and waited patiently.

"So… you can start now."

Rey had prepared his heart. He made sure to remain calm no matter what news he heard, though he already knew it would be impossible for him to fully suppress everything.
