In The Eyes of the Beholder

"I am concerned about Cati," Dor said, looking at Kaia over the table as they waited for Isle to come into the room with the others.

"Why?" She asked, looking at him, tilting her head to the side.

"I am surprised that you, of all people, are asking that." He chuckled. "But I just feel worried about her. For some unknown reason."

"Let's spend lots of time with her tomorrow, ok?" Kaia signed at him, smiling.

"Sure, let's do that." He said, still not able to shake that feeling of dread he seems to have every time he thought of her.

Am I becoming paranoid again?

This isn't meant to be a joke, Ran.

I know. I am not trying to treat it as one but you need to lighten up.

He sighed, turning his gaze to Kaia who is continually tapping on the table like her life depended on it.

She must be so much more concerned than I am.
