Prelude (2)

"Oh I get it. Sisi is Neah, what a cute petname," Nolan said emphasizing Cyneah's 'nickname' then her 'petname' given by Kyran.

Kyran decided to gnore him. But inwardly he was cursing at himself. He just hoped Nolan would not be so childish as to tease him with Cyneah around. This, of course, was wishful thinking given Nolan's character. In any case, Kyran did not want to make Cyneah feel awkward. She did not even know he took the liberty of calling her that way.

Come to think of it, the Cyneah in Kyran's illusion had been too real. With this in mind, he looked at Anette and asked, "How is she?"

Nolan snickered on the side while Anette answered, still wearing a knowing smile, "She seemed to have experienced a trance right after sensing you are in danger. She has fallen asleep before we left."
