Aella was, as usual, humming to herself as she braided the hair between her horse’s ears. So far, she had successfully braided nearly the entire mane, starting at the bottom. Occasionally, without seeming to notice she was doing it, the girl would rub a hand on her head like she had a headache.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QXJGPbrbR
Luna had come out of cat form and was on Neoma’s horse, watching Aella braid. She blinked, mimicking her hand a few times, then turned to Neoma, poking her and repeating the motion. The other girl rolled her eyes. Aella looked over at them and grinned. “I can show you how to do it properly later, if you want,” she offered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXC4xtrul2
Luna grinned and nodded. “Please?!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe0D5jPY5H
”It’s a plan!~” She glanced back to her horse, then swayed a moment, seeming to space out, eyes unfocused.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNCo92v6kU
Neoma studied her for a few seconds, tilting her head. “You okay there?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecfhMhGilG
She blinked and looked back over at Neoma. “Hmm? Yep, I’m alright.~” she said, returning to her normal cheery self.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfMMMWWs0H
“Ah, okay.” She didn’t dig into it, looking ahead, then pointing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEctkYUpW1
“Are we at a town finally?” Aella asked excitedly, bouncing in the saddle and making her horse snort and toss its head. Neoma nodded slowly, keeping her eyes on the town ahead.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tug91KGsO
“Oh, yay~” She settled back into her saddle, but still looked impatient to get there.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz43LMSWSy
Neoma kicked the horse lightly to make it go faster, looking behind her to see if Aella followed. The blonde nudged her horse so it was even with Neoma’s, and she smirked, mumbling, “Brat.” She jolted her horse even farther. Aella started grinning, speeding up her horse again.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCZvCOR7DK
The two continued to urge the creatures faster. Neoma watched the town grow bigger and taller, the smell of sea salt burning her nose. Aella took a deep breath, her grin widening even further. Luna itched her nose at the scent, moving her hand over her nose.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSSFFty5TG
Aella winced again suddenly, slowing down. Neoma looked back at her, pulling back to have her horse next to hers.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCVztxwCFP
Her eyes focused again after a second, and she shook her head. “My head hurts.” Neoma paused, grabbing a rope from the supplies and tying it on both mounts’ necks.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uhfJDczaL
Aella gave her a curious look. “What’s that for?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvYIpqBXwh
”So if you fall off, the horse won’t drag you.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwrWr8upcd
“That would hurt.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y7hK1D0Dh
“Yes, it would.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcXXC1NYVd
Aella hummed, looking ahead.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBSVbdsyVf
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyF2pCiQTq
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhbmN1Tlh1
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRkTIMtNpU
Neoma pulled a bit on the hood of her cloak, keeping out the light and the sight of anyone, no longer riding on her horse. Aella had dismounted as well, now walking with a bright smile. Neoma looked at the ground as she walked, and Luna was walking next to Aella, blabbering on about the forest around her home. The girl appeared to be listening quite well, aside from the occasional wince.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4UDTwx1t
“So, there’s a ton of animals and they’re all good for eating! But some of them are fast and hard to catch, and some are slower and even beginning hunters can catch them! And and…. oh, there’re more villages on the island, and they’re always fighting, and it wasn’t fun!” She purred a bit at that.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4I5oFq9wg
Wow.~ Did your village fight much, or were they nice and peaceful?” she asked curiously.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLXb1n8YoX
“Uh, it depends!” She thought for a moment, then grinned. Aella tilted her head questioningly. “We were like a family I guess, but they didn’t like the other villages…”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncJtVto4QW
”Oh…” She absentmindedly rubbed her forehead again, as she’d been doing increasingly often. Luna giggled and nodded, continuously rambling about her home. Before long, Aella suddenly stumbled to a halt with a pained expression.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdNzya6oH0
Luna jumped a bit, pushing her arms out to hold her up. “Are you alright!?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxWp5GULZr
“Oww… My head really hurts now,” she said a bit distantly. “And the ring burns.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBWigWmypV
Neoma moved over, grabbing her wrist. “Come on.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1KGEYxuQy
“Mm..” Aella let Neoma lead her without protest.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqTuhUpmAZ
She moved her into the shade, pressing a hand to her forehead. “How do you feel?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6e9wZCUD3
“Not good…” She closed her eyes, tipping her head back a bit. “Ow. Cináed’s upset.” Neoma walked over the horse, pulling out a fruit for the girl. She reached for it, but dropped it almost immediately with a wince, so Neoma just sat next to her, one of the shadows holding up the fruit. Luna came over, sitting down as well.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0VS73GzYX
Without warning, the girl flinched and went stiff, then started tearing at her slender hand. Neoma jumped up, taking a few paces back. “Damn it,” she growled, and glared up at them. “I hate you. I really, really hate you.” As she spoke, the blue of her eyes seemed to leach out, leaving a bright, metallic silver.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVrbxxOC2O
Luna looked a bit hurt, but Neoma just… shrugged. “So, the shifter’s breaking through.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw1ESTigMY
”What is this thing?” Cináed demanded. He had already shifted out of Aella’s form - not into the appearance they’d first seen him with, but a pale teenager with auburn hair. His irises remained their unnaturally bright color. Luna jumped back, her feet and hands dragging against the ground. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjqPfCYYNq
"A silver ring," the elemental answered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNdbAFTy4r
“And why can’t I take it off?” he growled.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8mnvdAZKY
She rose one of the shadows from the ground. “Reasons.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUmtcsXrLv
”I want a straight answer.” His shoulders tensed up.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnvjKi2Od5
” Well that sucks, because you aren’t getting one.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiey3aECK
“And why’s that?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT6Fc4XZb3
”Because, screw you. That’s why.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp3izw73mw
”Great response,” he muttered. “Witty.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nCDWxVv7N
Luna licked her lips once or twice, her eyes darting from Neoma to the other boy - Cináed or something - then went back to ignoring the fight, sniffing at the air (it smelled weird in the city, like trash and things) and scratching her nails to the ground.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohZ330TcDT
Neoma crossed her arms. “I could come up with something better, but I don’t believe you deserve any brilliant backsass from me.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEfXnbprM9
He rolled his eyes at her. “You were a lot less of a bitch in Spain.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkA1eLjr4
“‘Till I found out you possessed some girl’s body,” Neoma grumbled, the shadow going liquid-like and plopping to the ground.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PxzlDDUjY
“What do you care about some random human?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZ9wJMCmE
“More like I don’t like the thing in her.” Suddenly her hands flipped palm up, causing shadows to pin his hands to the ground in almost a basket-like weave.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVus6or4SLE
”You seemed fine with shapeshifters when I first told you.” He snarled, trying to pull back.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms0FsSgpsX
“Sure, I’m fine with the species in general, but most don’t have to possess people.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB7jv2lrM6
“Most,” Cináed muttered. This seemed to tick her off, and she pulled out the knife from before and pushed it near his neck. He leaned back. “Don’t.” She poked him with the tip, leaving a red mark, then returned it to its sheath. He hissed, his hands twitching.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u6xdaq9ey
Luna tilted her head. “Neoma, that’s rude.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGqgzPR6ct
”S’ also rude to be an ass, but this guy’s first class in that.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrih3RH2y
Cináed growled again, trying to get free of the shadows. However, the shadows solidified as they got pulled, starting almost like rope. The more he pulled, the more they changed to a metallic feel. ”Damn it..” He stopped yanking on them, faint electrical sparks dancing across his hands in his irritation.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcCfpu97oP
Meanwhile, Neoma continued the petty argument with Luna, almost forgetting about the shifter before looking back at him and going, “Oh, right.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTttD9POmRA
”So what the hell are you going to do, just sit here and let me be trapped all day?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs65ALJ9SD
”Shut up, I’m thinking.” She crossed her arms, looking at the shadows for a few seconds.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ207Dkww9v2
”Impressive,” he muttered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZgDO7Bc4U
”Screw yourself.” She glanced at him, then back to the shadows. “Yeah, we aren’t letting you go wander free.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmdShUGrAH
”And why not?” he said sourly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CeuxBQy6N
”You have my ring~” She teased, then held her hands up. “And I can’t take it off you.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrDddlHuiY
”… seriously. Then who CAN take it off!?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCZD7kLnYj
“Aella”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDisWZA3r
”FanTAStic. Fucking great.” He glared daggers at her. “So then what’re you gonna do with me, huh?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9GR0vK6RD
Luna finally piped up. “Well, there’s the chance that: A. you pretty much leave her body by letting her take off the ring and then going, or B… um… we’re stuck with you!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnvdVLKPeU
”Ah, no.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM04c9FfLw
“… Then we’re stuck with you!!” Luna grinned, jumping up from her sitting position.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScOLG6tpDw
“… for how long, exactly?” 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HU3Ty5PJw
“Who knows?” Neoma smirked. “But the moment you try to run, let’s see how hot that silver gets.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2QSE6IPHS
He growled under his breath. “If I’m stuck with you, at least tell me what this ring is meant for.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRkKiYgnWN
“Keep you in control.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCCfFKs4w4
”I doubt this was custom-made.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygIPPBAiuf
“Not for you, but it’s a silver ring, and I guess it helps.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hmfkAnnWO
”Better hope it doesn’t burn my finger off,” he grumbled. Sure enough, the skin around the ring was dark red.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4pmnrKpnV
”It might”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMPnd0bmf8
”You’ve gotta be kidding,” he growled. He attempted to pull it off again, hard enough that the nails of his other hand left bloody grooves on his light skin.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNYhEHuwwl
“Hey now, dont want to scar yoursefl”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuH5OqkhoS
“Shapeshifters don’t scar,” he grumbled.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ6Iq8STs4
”Right, right.” She stepped up, not releasing his hands.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKGPVLByVV
Cinaed automatically leaned back from her again. Finally, the shadows sunk around his fingers and into the ground. “‘Bout time,” he muttered, and stood, wobbling a bit. She grumbled a smartass comment and walked to the side. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblrrYCCzLN
"Where ya going?" he asked, abruptly changing his tone from irritated to irritating.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBQaW5JBXD
”Somewhere.” She pulled her hands inside the cloak, turning around.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8KwuKgEo
”Oh, fascinating. I heard Somewhere’s nice this time of year.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWYAGAnjWM
”It is, actually, not too hot, not too cold.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ERGVhRjI
”Pretty pleasant in all, not an awful amount of sunshine or rain.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1id8HNUyV
”And you know, not too many people either.” 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8TpmiVwZy
Luna looked between the two, then giggled.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6K4Tc5e0n
”Excellent living conditions.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ938eufPVUO
”Yes. Not too shabby of a building”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8dmut5TSV
“Spacious, well-managed.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBrAUgR6M
“What are you two doing?!” Luna finally asked.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTKJfFlwMH
Cináed glanced at Luna, then with an irritated expression said, “Nothing.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9kh3BgjiA
She ran a hand through her tangled hair, then looked at Luna. “Come on.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGkpbDER98
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDFfYyDghZ
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2UmLua3vX
Neoma sat on the edge of the bed, glaring at the male in the room. Cináed glared back, standing against one of the room’s walls. Luna looked between the two. “So….” When they ignored her, Luna bit her lip, sighing, and shrank down to her ocelot form and to jump up next to Neoma. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi4UVvNfYZ
After another few seconds, Neoma piped up. “Okay.” He raised an eyebrow “Obviously, you’re going to be around for a while.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M78YVJQtP
“Yeah. And?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtoDwTxpdQ
“You need to be of some use.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LEELeMGPn
His eyes narrowed. “I don’t NEED to be.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQcct7rKT3
“The faster we’re gone, the faster you’re out of my hair.” He continued glaring, waiting for her to continue. “So, you’re going to be buying stuff from now on.” She smirked a bit. “I mean, imagine what would happen if two girls got caught doing such!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyC3fifa5q
He gave her a flat look. “You’re kidding.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApM8I1fnZY
“‘Course not, and if we did get caught, all the time I would take to escape.” she made a ‘tch’ sound and shook her head. “Such wasted time it would be!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl8bhnn9jM
“Pretty sure you’re capable of shopping yourself,” he said sourly. “Unless you’ve always had a guy slave to do it for you.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrbPBwxYQp
“Of course we can, what do you think these are for?” She gestured to the heavy cloak.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02mu2iD1uo
“Then why don’t you use them?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBAs3wREEq
“There are some things we can’t buy in cloaks.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqTJ8p0iI4
“Like?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn79rgsBT2
“For instance, clothing.” Neoma practically growled out that word, but she gave a smartass smile nonetheless. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sVIkpyoQA
He growled. “Don’t see why it’s that big of a deal,” the shifter muttered. “And even if you don’t want to be caught buying clothes, you can get whatever else yourself.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSwoz1wWM6
”Of course I can, but then there’s no fun in tormenting you.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHmeHgkIxG
”I am not gonna be your slave because you’re too lazy to buy stuff yourself.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hYicawITx
“Nah, I don’t believe in slavery. I do believe in tormenting assholes.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hv5MPY77j
“… You’re paying for all of this.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDKqmttDYi
She dug through her pockets and threw a bag of coins at his head. “Naturally.” He caught it quickly and opened it to check the contents before leaving the room with an angry look. She laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZE5ImvpFt
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4b8kaSYS
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIeD1YYy8B
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MGCHUg1zM
Cináed stepped back into the room and promptly dumped the food right on the bed, then threw the money bag at Neoma. She jolted up and glared at him, catching the bag before it hit her. “And a fuck you too.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6rf2T44pu
”Good enough for you?” he nearly spat.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrAmHc6KUy
Luna looked at the food, then Neoma. “No meat?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8n6zPQbl5
”No meat.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnnHAzkbmA
”Oh…”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupyrySqbil
Cináed huffed and sat down. Neoma threw a fruit at him. “Earth’s fruits are weird,” she commented. He considered throwing it back just to irritate her, but settled with just keeping it. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWFTwfTDkt
She bit into one, still glaring at him. He glared back, passing it between his hands for a minute before finally taking a bite himself. Luna was taking huge bites and swallowing them whole, except for maybe pressing it to the roof of her mouth once or twice.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ8r4jH7UN
Luna glared at the fruit, mumbling how a nice rabbit or bird would be better than this. Meanwhile, the other two silently glared across the room. She finally finished her portion, looking at the bread and glaring again.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHU8B9Dr8D
”Not a fan of varied diets, huh?” Cináed asked absently into the silence.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wp6vKr8Eb
”No.” She practically growled, gripping onto the bed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwFXrEuJPS
”Heh…” Cináed went back to glaring at Neoma, apparently disinterested in the conversation. Neoma stared back, biting into the fruit one last time to finish it. Cináed was still holding his own, not even half eaten, appearing to have forgotten about it. She threw it off to the side to throw away later and glared at him as she went to lay down. Cináed’s eyes followed her, still icy. She rolled over to face the wall, yawning as she did, while Cináed just remained sitting. Luna stared at him for a few seconds, then sunk down to cat form and laid next to Neoma.
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ktDw5hDlh
Cináed had fallen into a light sleep, and was still dozing at sunrise. He woke up just after the sun came up, and glanced around with a yawn to see if the other two were already up. Luna was asleep, curled up in a tiny ball. Neoma on the other hand was over by the window, giving the sun a death glare841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPmmbu2ucc
“You look like it insulted you personally,” he commented.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BEGyTpjc7
“It did, it rose and made the moon and stars die away,” she bitterly commented on that, looking back at him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ysbjp76Yp
He rolled his eyes. “They always come back, so why bother getting irritated over it?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePIUBV2YO
”Because the sun, like you, is an asshole.” Neoma walked over to the bed, pressing her hand to Luna’s furry head.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPKRXBnOZB
”Tch…” He rolled his eyes again at her and sat up fully.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGpFXJzxU
Luna lifted her head before sleepily lowering it again. Neoma cracked her knuckles, then got up and grabbed her cloak. “First thing is breakfast, then we get to have a marvelous trip to go get dresses.” She said the sentence in a grumble, and Luna jumped off the bed and shifted to human.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lpaUoWzOy
“How great,” Cináed muttered.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWoXg9BYA
“Don’t worry, I’m just as excited as you.” Neoma shrugged up her shoulders and crossed her arms. He sighed, still sitting. “Come on asshat, let’s get this over with.” She made to walk to the door. Luna grinned at him for a moment, then slowly followed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAHjitd7Oe
He shot a glare at Luna before slowly getting to his feet and walking after the two. Luna strayed behind a bit, staying somewhat near Cinead, but still within reach of Neoma. The shifter was reluctantly following, occasionally glancing at Luna with something between curiosity and a bit of confusion. She was humming softly, and despite practically jumping in her steps, her feet made no noise when hitting the ground.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDd4f9Op1x
”So how long is this gonna take?” he asked, shifting his gaze to the back of Neoma’s head.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlapWyh2nZb
”How the hell should I know?” A few people turned their heads to the girl to glare, but besides that, the small group was ignored.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnzEfYvnj5
”Haven’t you done this before?” he asked irritably.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXKLarzcNU
“Where we’re from, almost everyone has some sort of magic.” Luna fell behind to say this in a soft tone, glancing around to make sure no humans heard. “So it’s used for almost everything!”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYKllsdLdr
”Shapeshifters are like that too,” he said, dropping his voice as well. “I don’t shop. At all. Y’know, except when I’m forced to.” He added the last sentence under his breath, almost inaudibly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabVXygFK9G
Neoma nodded slowly, looking ahead for a minute then back at him. “So thievery?”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYFsRvqWFG
“You bet.”841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQZPIZz2p
Neoma only grinned.
