18 A Moment With You (1/2)

I gulped down my nerves as I fiddled with my Albert Chain.

Leinard heaved a deep sigh as he took a seat at one of the lounges and gestured for me to sit on the lounge opposite.

I eased into the seat, so we both faced each other. My heart beats were beyond stupid and crazy with persistent urges to be by his side. I held my place; kept a poker face and cool mind as much as possible. I felt certain Leinard was looking at me with business in mind and nothing more.

”Firstly, thank you. I can not express how grateful I am for what you did for us and the Labyrinth.” Leinard cordially bowed his head to me.

”Colonel! No, it's the least I could've done.” I awkwardly acknowledged his thanks.

”I need to ask you. When we were in the Primary Core...” Leinard paused, pressing his lips together as he searched for the rest of the words. ”How did you break me from the ego links?”

I blushed as the memories of being Charlese flooded my mind. He had no recollection of this?

Leinard frowned. ”You've done something to your mind. I can't read into it.”

”What?!” I blurted, a bit annoyed and on the defence. ”Why does everyone want to see into my b.l.o.o.d.y mind?! Am I a fricken crystal ball?!”

I gasped and reigned in my outburst with an apologise. ”Sorry.”

”No. You have every right to apologise. We've been taking you too lightly.”

I felt uncomfortable by his words, especially about having been taken lightly. I couldn't help feel nervous about what he felt for me now, and with the Power of Null within me.

_”I may not be able to delve further into your mind. I sense your apprehension from your body signs.”_ Leinard spoke in my mind, his voice soothing my tension.

He sat more upright, so his grey eyes could bore into mine.

_”Forget about it. You don't need to answer. Breaking me out of them is enough for me. I want you to know. No matter what happens, I am always on your side. You have my unconditional support.”_ His voice continued to soothe the tension from my mind.

I sighed, feeling a bliss ease my heart flutters.

”Famine, I li...” Leinard was interrupted by War's untimely intrusion.

”Famisto,” War paused when he noticed Leinard. ”Did I b.u.t.t into something?”

”No.” Leinard answered aloud.

_”Yes”_, he said in his mind at the same time.

I slammed a palm to my forehead with a sigh. ”War can mind speak too.”

_”Oh, right.”_ Leinard sighed.

War chuckled. He relayed an instruction he had received from that Grandpa Smithsonian about having a Council to be called soon.
