Chapter 187

'Laura!' Larvaste protested.

'At least it didn't break,' Sabyn pointed out, moving past the centaur to Loi's side, and touched her arm. 'What is it, are you okay?'

Annoyance flashed through Loi when she tried to focus and she waved a hand impatiently at him.

'I'm fine; I think Cat's wanting to link.'

Sabyn frowned for an instant then pressed a quick kiss to her forehead, his expression sombre.

'Why don't you go sit out? Say hi for me.'

Loi nodded and walked to a box seat by the rail. The noise in the background faded while she called her energy up and the tension in her body evaporated as it spread.

Your energy seems stronger than before.

Loi jumped on the seat. Cat?! Are you there?

Yes.

That disconcerted her. Loi had thought Cat wasn't there yet.
