“I can do that,” Necos says. “We’ve already planned on doing a project together, anyway. We can use that for our cover.”
“That’s one I actually want to do, though,” Jasper says, with a frown. His frosty exterior is shown in his body language. “I’m intrigued in seeing how we can work together to trick science.”
“That sounds fun,” I offer.
Necos gives me an indulgent grin whilst Jasper just glares. He’s so temperamental, and I feel guilty knowing I might be the reason his plan has been foiled.
“Then I’ll get a proposal written up and we can submit it,” Necos says, and Jasper nods. “And I’m sure I can get Secos or even—”
“Do not say my father’s name,” Eirik says. The sharp words cut through the air as fast as the icicle he threw at Ryes earlier.
“The one that missed me because of my superior reflexes,” Ryes says with a pointed expression my way. I nod, acknowledging that he’s right.It’s easier that way.“But if we can swing it, I’m game. I couldn’t care less where I sleep as long as you’re there with me, ZoZo.”
“Sap,” Mael says before shrugging and kicking his feet up on the table. “But I agree. If it’s a hovel, though, I’m getting a fucking hotel. I love you, Ellie baby, but I love beds just as much.”
“It’s not a hovel,” Necos says, rolling his eyes. He glances at his watch before smirking. “Well, maybe not to me.”
“Fucking great,” Ryes mutters, rubbing at his eyes. “When do we leave?”
“I’ll want to double check that both Zohar and Etrix are on board, and then I’ll get plans put in place so that we can move out over the weekend.”
“That’s fast,” I mention, biting my bottom lip.
“With the way Headmaster Whisperfelt reacted to us getting you off campus, I think it would be safer to get you somewhere safe,” Necos says softly.
“I understand,” I reply.
“And hey, at least this way you’ll have Etrix in one place,”Ryes teases.
I nod, because that’s something I considered, too.
My lightanima nexumhas been avoiding me for the last month, having missed numerous sessions unless he’s got a buffer there.
He knows I want to talk to him, and I’ve tried giving him space and time.
But I’ve had enough of that.
Etrix has answers to questions I have.
Answers I think I deserve.
And I’m not going to give up until I get them.

“So... you’re a rebel,” I say, looking at where my lightanima nexumis standing too close to the doorway for my comfort.
He’s wearing a pair of joggers and a hoodie, having just showered after an intense workout session with Ciar. Did I lure him into my bedroom for nefarious reasons?
Absolutely.
Did he try and get out of it?
Absolutely.
Do I care?
