"Huh-?" Korgan could scarcely react as Tempeste⦠touched him. It wasn't a mere physical touch. It was a touch that he felt deep in his mind and sent a chill down his back. "What is this?" He asked, holding back the quake in his voice. His thoughts were not as calm. What did you do to me?! Images flashed in his mind. The ocean. 'Her' smile. The sunset. He tried to tuck away these images, but found Tempeste's eyes staring back from the shadows.
Korgan snatched her wrist. It drowned within his beastly grip, but he did nothing to move or harm her further. He looked at her, not a trace of jest or grin in his face. "I did nothing to him," he insisted, with a voice that matched his thoughts. "I have no interest in suffering Tyann's wrath." My friend's wrath.
The beast-man leaned closer. His smile slowly returned. "We could look for him together, if you'd like. I wager someone at the stables can give us a heading." Korgan quirked a brow. Am I correct to assume you can hear me right now? What a curious trick, he mused. Then stifled a chuckle. I wouldn't recommend looking too deeply into my head. You may find yourself in a... compromising position.
Eike sprang up from bed and announced his leave as though he'd been a witness to that salacious thought and hurried to drag the child away from the perverse pigman.
