"Commander, you have been so quite for the longest of time." Stella Marie pointed out as they stared at the painting after the Lieutenant Commander Zey had entered it.
It had been almost five minutes since, and yet the Faey Court didn't budge from where he stood. It was as if he was stunned by something, and out of respect, Stella Marie waited for Lexus Cryptante to utter anything.
"Commander?" Stella Marie coaxed.
The little girl moved forward and was about to slap the Faey Court on his knees when suddenly Lexus Cryptante jerked and Stella Marie stumbled backwards in surprise.
"Kya!"
Nickolai was quick to save her from the fall, and he swooped down to catch the little girl in his arms. "Careful now, Lala." He said.
"Thank you, Nickolai." Replied the child. She turned her baby blue eyes towards the Faey Court and Lexus looked down to see Nickolai at the floor in a squat with the queen candidate in his arms.
