Are you ready?

'He called my name, he knows my name!!!' Gia's thoughts went into overdrive. But in reality she froze the moment he called her name, spacing out deep in her subconscious.

"Gia?!" Nix tried again.

Gia snapped back to reality, she nodded her head.

"Yes, it's a sign of care." Gia said with a pout. Looking over at Lank to trap him with the guilt trick.

Nix nodded his head at her answer, he wasn't necessarily concerned on the reason she wanted to do that, but what he wanted to avoid a situation that could cause him to gag.

"You want to protect your pride as you walk out that door, right?" He nodded in the direction of Lank, awaiting his answer.

"Yes?!" He responded, somewhat not sure if he was even making the right decision by answering.

Nix closed his eyes, placing his head down on his clasped fingers. It took all in him to calm down before he planned on speaking soon.
