"Are they? They're usually mismatched," I confessed.
"The nurse said it may be due to your exhaustion. She's never treated a unicorn shifter and isn't too sure, but the twins have mismatched eyes and they usually switch to one color or the other when they use a certain type of magic or are magic deprived," Finn admitted.
"Hmm. Maybe," I replied, thinking about what he'd said.
"Celestia," Finn whispered.
I met his serious gaze.
"Just be careful. Make sure one of us is always with you. I'm aware of how strong you are and this could possibly be just a test, but I’d rather you play weak and let us handle things until we know who's pushing the buttons," Finn stated.
"What if you get hurt?" I frowned.
"Why are you so selfless?" he asked.
"I don't know," I replied.
"Just rely on us a little more. We're a team, remember?"
"Okay...I'll make sure one of you guys is always with me," I confirmed.
He exhaled, using his free hand to pat my head.
"Finn. Your ability. Does it work on everyone?" I asked.
He lifted an eyebrow at me. "How did you find out about that?" he asked, sounding more amused than offended.
"Theo," I revealed.
He grinned, shaking his head and brushing a strand of my hair back behind my ear. "Yes. It works for everyone. Harder to use on those who have magic barriers around themselves to hide their aura or strength, but if I work hard enough, I can tell. It's easier when they're distressed, upset, or saddened by something because they have a harder time hiding it," he revealed.
"Do you find it helpful?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"Why? How does knowing how to comfort someone help you?" I asked.
"It doesn't always benefit me, but I feel it helps me learn more about an individual and get closer to them," Finn replied. He looked down to see my curious expression. He chuckled.
"When I patted your head when I found you after the written exam, didn't you feel relieved?" he asked.
"Yes," I admitted. It made me happy that he'd kept his word and found me and calmed my nerves.
"I felt more comfortable being around you after knowing I helped comfort you. I've done the same with the other guys. Sometimes it's accidental, while other times I know in that moment they need a little comfort to help them think clearly,” Finn explained.
"How about you? Is there something that helps you calm down?" I asked.
"Mine’s silly," he replied.
"I wanna know," I urged.
"You know how for some people, if something is troubling them, they like to be alone?" he suggested.
"Yes. Magnor's like that," I replied.
"I'm the opposite. I...don't like being alone. If I'm with someone, I feel like I exist and I'm not just a small fragment in this huge universe we live in. When my family moved during my teens, I was an outcast. No one wanted to be near the pink-haired boy with green eyes in a dimension filled with blessed fae, and that resulted in me always being alone. It didn't matter what task or event I participated in, I was always picked last and always sat alone at lunch. I kinda was invisible to the people around me and soon, I didn't want people near me," Finn explained.
"Is that why you're able to make people kind of move away from you? Like as if you're in a bubble and people just step out of your way without realizing it?" I questioned.
