In The Eyes of the Beholder

Dorran quickly made his way to them, grabbing Max's hand just in time before he could punch the guy. The people around are starting to look at them with suspicion and Carlotta noticed that first.

"What is going on here?" She asked as Kaia bent down and picked up the book she dropped, putting it on the table.

"We should go." She signed, but the man still had his grip on her hand.

She could hardly feel it so she thought it wasn't there anymore but, lo and behold, it is still there.

"What happened, Max?" Dor asked, managing to take his hand out of the man's collar.

"He wouldn't stop harassing Kaia," He said, disgust thick in his voice.

"Is that any reason to try and fight him?" He asked.

"No, but if he doesn't let go of Kaia's hand, I will be throwing the punches instead," Carlotta said, glaring at the man.

"Will you please let go of her," Dor said, turning to the shopkeeper. ��You don't want this kind of problem, trust me."
