The new bond, the one between Hibikitokai to Barnetteorangello through Jurabasilelden, was not nearly so strong.
Physical intimacy had strengthened it. Had they been allowed to rest and bask in each other's light - it would have become more stable.
It could easily be broken or toned down now, if the two decided to distance themselves from the other.
If the paksis had fingers, it would have crossed them.
Meia sighed as she finished getting ready. Hibiki had fled so fast that he was nearly at the hangar already. This was...
Her eyes widened. When she tried to force the connection it slipped out of her mental fingers, but just relaxing and -
What do I do? If something happened to my partner! Oh, no. There he is.
Hibiki's voice seemed to mute down to nothing after that but Meia realized she could still feel his presence. "Strange alien powers indeed."
Meia followed more cautiously, noting that physical proximity didn't seem to have an effect on the feeling of connection. On occasion she could discern something accompanying that feeling.
Concern. Fear. Relief. Puzzlement? Dread. Nervousness.
Stepping out into the hangar she felt a flash of relief and nervousness mingled together and knew it was about her.
There were many concerns about this new relationship that were making themselves known. A relationship with someone technically under your command? Frowned on. With a male? Scandalous. Not to mention what this would do to Dita's feelings. What would the others think? Would this affect her combat performance?
Their eyes met across the hangar. She saw nervousness there. Yet there was no rejection at least. Nor disgust. If she could overcome her own feelings about his alieness, he likely could be persuaded to follow suit.
Well, the Captain had been hinting repeatedly that it was time that the Dread Squadron Leader find someone to relax with.
She wondered what the Captain's reaction would be.
