Lucy Reborn 78 Papa

Lucy brushed aside her confusion, playing with the small sprites until the sun began to fade. Selena brought Lucy to her courtyard. Eyeing her face, Lucy shrinks back her neck.

"What exactly did you think you were doing?" Selena asks, crossing her arms. "I just wanted-" Selena scowls. "Did you think nothing of the danger you put yourself in!" Selena says. Selena began to pace. "Along with the young misses, you attempted to enter your Grandmama's mind as well. As if a Seer would be that defenseless." Lucy opens her mouth, only to cut off by Selena pointing at her nose. "What if someone outside our clan notices your magic! Do you want to die! A delicate touch is still a touch, not to mention your magic is so pure it practically blazes a trail in the air!" Selena says.

Hey! Can't I get a word in, please? It's not as if anyone ever discovered my bane before. How was I supposed to know it was so obvious? Lucy suppresses her sigh.

Selena stomps her foot. "Little Mistress! Don't get distracted, this is important!" Selena scolds. Lucy nods. "I'm listening," Lucy says, forcing her face to be attentive. "You-" Selena presses her finger to her temple. "Never mind, your mind is two Legendary beasts away. Just remember not to use your magic without permission." Selena says. Lucy nods eagerly. As if I'm stupid enough to make that mistake yet again! What if some creeper kidnaps me?

Selena rolls her eyes. Why is my mistress the only one who enjoys rifling through other minds? What happened to children's timid nature and fear of the constant whispers.

Feeling Selena's irrational and confusion through the bond, Lucy honestly kept her power tucked away, not even testing the air for emotions all that night, and into the morning. Even when she was summoned to the front hall to see that Papa arrived, Lucy her power still. Ah, Papa looks tired. Seeing that only Carlos accompanied him, Lucy lifted her arms up. "Papa, I want up!" Lucy demands.

Leaning against his chest, Lucy wrinkles her nose against a whiff of sweat and leather.

Papa was at the barracks again. "Little thing, do you feel well?" Papa asks, pressing his hand to her forehead. Lucy blinks. "Fine, Papa" Why... Oh, right. Papa was told I was kept under the healers eye due to sickness. Lucy's eyes widen. Just how long did Papa think I was sick?

Bao Benin frowns, unconvinced by the little thing. She had lost weight, her plump cheeks, chubby arms and legs all slimmed down. Although her hair seemed to have grown, how could it comfort him when her very air seemed duller, with a haze over her wild energy.

"If Grandmother has no objections, this grandson will take Miss Lucy out for some entertainment" Bao Benin says, bowing to his Mother's mother. Matriarch Xue nods. "She's recovered enough to go out to play. Just bring her back before dark."

Lucy's face twitched, as Papa and Grandmama lost the time in chitchat. Can't even read Papa's mind to see his funny comments that he hides away, and what white lies he's telling. Her gaze drifted off to the side where Selena stood waiting, quietly. How come she isn't bored? Only a hint of anticipation came through their bond. No games, no gossip, no food. This is the worst!
