I felt the anger starting to burn at my skin a bit before Nyx left. I couldn't tell anymore if it was the Leader's or mine. Once the portal shut the Leader started questioning everyone about their missions, and I felt a mellow calm run though me.
Stay calm Triskix I thought to myself.
Kyxsha started talking, and the Leader pressed his bit of anger onto her. Apparently another nobody had been in the castle. I wondered if I had been away.
Of course smart one, the Leader answered.
I sighed realizing that he was in my head and simply working through my thoughts. I had almost become numb to the fact that I had someone in my head....it was unnerving.....
"Now then," the Leader continued looking at Lexian. "Tell me of you're experience."
Lexian gave me a glance asking whether he should tell, but I could already feel the Leader starting into my memory of our chat. I hoped Lexian wouldn't lie.....for his sake.
"I ran into a boy being chased by another nobody," Lexian answered. He went on to talk about chasing the boy, but he never mentioned a name. The Leader seemed satisfied, and I sighed a bit.
"Now then Ximh?" the Leader asked. "Explain."
Xihm gave his report on his missions, and I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes. It was strange to be back in the room, but I liked it. The only thing that somewhat tormented me was where I was sitting. At first thought I had wanted to dive straight for Axel's chair, but I had to remember I couldn't do such a thing anymore. I sighed and looked over at the chair.
Stop it. Your miscellaneous thoughts are annoying. The Leader's sharp thoughts yelled into my head.
Sorry. I thought back. I forgot that the link worked both ways, and I guessed he was getting irritated at me. I rolled up my sleeve and examined my arm.
The scars had appeared for a moment shimmering in the Leader's anger, but now they were closing up again as if they had never been there to begin with. I realized I still had my scythe in hand and quickly dismissed it.
I looked over and found Lexian staring at me. I stared back, and in that moment Ximh stopped talking.
