[AN]: Trigger Warning, some creepy crawly insects~
I stood there, hand still extended, hardly believing what I’d just done. An entire shipping container, weighing
thousands of pounds
according to what the [Equipment Reviews] had explained... had
vanished
into thin air.
A
television magician’s trick
of the highest order - leaving only a falling,
startled
cloud of insects that must have been hiding somewhere inside! Some just fell, others tried to fly away... but the
swarm was unleashed
and I quickly backed away from the scurrying legs.
> Urk, Vrika... what’s wrong with me? Is this what the books and Dr. Lang meant about pregnancies causing changes in past instincts and food preferences? Most importantly it had been filled with those creatures - and part of me is still just nauseated by the thought. Why do I care? I don’t. It’s just a very large building, impossible to miss. So I rushed from one to another, but at least I’m a little freer than before? Also, why are you not more... growling and wary?! Is it... oh... He smells like her. No, he has her smell ON him. Why? How close are they? Relative? <
I felt silly, getting
more worked up than Vrika
over this. For getting
primal feelings
about something that shouldn’t matter to me at all.
"Not many people appreciate dawn these days. It’s nice to meet another like that."
Glancing toward the skyline
behind himself
, either trusting me too much or giving me the chance to make a mistake... his dark eyed gaze returned to my face.
Flecks of orange
were only visible at this distance because of how focused on him I was.
"My name is Luca. What is yours?"
