" You never thought this way at first. Why now? You're looking foreign to me"
" It's because...." Lucian paused, a sign of frustration appearing on his face.
" Of your beast." Nate continued the sentence.
Lucian looked up at him.
Indeed nothing about him went unnoticed by Nate.
" I don't feel him anymore, and I couldn't bring him out the last time," Lucian spoke, not hiding how scared he felt.
" But you brought something different out. Lucian, you sound as if you're nothing without your beast," Nate said, creasing his brows and mentioning Lucian's name for the first time.
"Because I am. I am nothing without it, Nate."
" Then what about me? I just recently semi-unlocked that tiny ice power in me. Does that also make me useless without it?" Nate asked, with all seriousness in his eyes.
" No, that's not what I meant!" Lucian hastily disagreed.
