Roddy picked distractedly at his food, barely able to look away from where the snake woman sat near the head of the table with Aurora. He shivered involuntarily at the way she seemed to swallow large chunks of meat whole without even chewing them.? It was a strange feeling, being at once fascinated and yet terrified on a very primal level.
The blond youth was also unsettled by the strangeness of Mara's eyes.? They could seem to be looking at something else entirely one moment and then looking straight at him the next, without her head moving even the slightest bit.
"So," Roddy said, addressing Misty, forcing himself to look anywhere else besides at Mara, "any clue as to what the boss lady has in mind for us?? Or is that gonna be revealed with dessert?"
(Photon)
Was still in bodyguard mode since that is what Aurora wanted him for right now.? ¡°Good with dessert pretty boy, she will let you know when it is time.? For now, simply enjoy the fair that is placed before you.¡±? He said doing his best not to be cold but he was already in a mood for some reason.? He just simply didn¡¯t feel right and couldn¡¯t put his finger on it.? Maybe it was simply time to press his relationship with Aurora a bit further.? They had been together long enough for her to know he wasn¡¯t going anywhere and she was the one he wanted.? He couldn¡¯t make it any plainer if he stenciled it across the sky.? Yet, something was pressing on him that he couldn¡¯t shake as he sat with this group.? He looked at them thinking perhaps this would be the group that would take over the city with.? Something that would make him clash with his family and yet he knew that he had to deal with them at some point as he wasn¡¯t willing to wait for his father to hand him the keys to the city.? He was going to have to make his own.
He didn¡¯t try to over hear the chatter between Mara and Aurora.? He wasn¡¯t interested even in girl talk right now, which was his fav.? It wasn¡¯t telepathy but knowing when someone liked him or someone else did help him out tremendously even momentarily some days.
(Aurora, Jordie, Liza, Misty)
The trio noticed Devi speak to Aurora then leave.? Jordie knew that she would need to be removed from the data base.? He would take care of it after the meal.
Aurora felt the shift in Photon.? She reached a hand over to his arm and once he leaned in, she quietly asked, ¡°You okay?¡±? Before he could answer, Mara was speaking to her.? Aurora looked over at Lightening Rod and simply shrugged.? ¡°I think he wants to impress you.? He is a youngest whose breeches are too big.? He will learn to control his, powers and emotions¡or he will be dismissed from the group.? He is unfortunately trying to impress the wrong person.¡± She said as she indicated Misty, who was trying desperately to get the lads attention.
Misty simply gave Photon a nod, before turning to Lightening Rod, ¡°Aurora will let us, or rather you, know what your next step is before the end of the night.? The rest of us have been with her for a little while now.? She doesn¡¯t like showoffs, though, so might want to keep that in mind.¡±
