Chapter 135 - Sailing (2/2)

Nina- ”The deal said nothing about you getting close, only working together.”

Theoric seeing the tense atmosphere walked back over to mediate- ”We may have a deal, but until you have proven yourself trustworthy don't expect me to allow you to get too close, otherwise we'll have problems, you admitted you can drain life on touch and then showed us a crew of people you changed doing it, do you really think I'll allow you to touch them without consequence? I'm being trusting enough not directly throwing you off, maybe even foolish, don't make me regret my decision.”

Selene turned serious- ”I understand it can be a bit scary, but I was truthful and upfront with you from the beginning about what I am and what I can do when I didn't have to be, you have my word that as long as we are allies I will not betray you or do something you don't wish done.”

Theoric relaxed a bit hearing that- ”Thank you, and of course you can expect the same from us, although I'm sure you already know that having read Holland's and Nina's minds.”

Selene grinned seeing the two mentioned flinch- ”But of course.”

Nina frowning asked- ”I don't like that, How much have you read of our minds already?”

Selene lost her grin- ”Without training my powers on you I can only pick up surface thoughts, I will admit I care nothing for one's privacy when I do this, but I must apologize to you my dear, you have been through a lot, you have my condolences.”

Nina's frown was replaced with hints of rage as Theoric swooped in to calm her.

Theoric- ”Nina, calm yourself, do I have to blindfold you?”

Nina snapped out of it as she turned to leave,- ”I'll be fine, I just need some space.”

Theoric called out to her rapidly disappearing form- ”Remember that room I set up, feel free to go and practice while you work things out.”

Theoric then turned to Holland with a smile- ”How about you grace us with your voice while we're out here.”

Holland's face bloomed into a beautiful smile- ”I'd love to!”

Theoric was very happy to see the amulet work as he enjoyed hearing her sing, Selene merrily listening along also.

”Selene, It may be hard to trust you at first, but I do hope we get along, I don't know how much control you have over your nature or how power-hungry you truly are, I don't really know anything about you yet, but since you trusted us with the truth I will give you a chance,” he said feeling like he needed to say one last thing before they ended the discussion completely.

Selene simply said- ”I gave you my word and I will keep it.”

Sitting there listening to everything, she was beginning to understand this group far more than they could ever know about her in a short amount of time. Already trusting them far more than they did her, but she didn't take it to heart as she knew it wouldn't be easy since they couldn't read minds like her. She was actually glad she made them allies the traditional way, it would be good to have a group that the others wouldn't easily be able to tell were on her side, they won't even see it coming.
