Changes

When she awoke several hours later, Neko’s head was on Lumen’s chest again. For a moment she didn’t move, instead revelling in his slow, rhythmic breaths and the steady beats of his heart.

This was bliss. The calm, idyllic joy of a new, unblemished reality.

But even perfection could be interrupted by a bladder in need of relief, and she cursed hers for not letting her remain permanently next to her lover.

Slipping her legs slowly out of the bed, she drew herself up to a standing position. And for a moment a fierce dizziness assaulted her head, as though she’d had too much to drink the previous night. Instinctively she threw a palm to her forehead as though to stabilize herself.

“You all right?” Lumen’s voice was sleepy.

“Mmm,” she said, afraid to nod for fear that it would contribute to the vertigo. “I think so.”

After a few seconds he’d sat up, seeming to come out of the fog of slumber. “You need to be careful,” he said. “The changes we talked about in your body—I was serious about them.”

“Yes, I know. I’m about to discover that I have mad Hunter skills,” she said, turning his way. I’m fine. Stop protecting me.

The last two sentences were mere thoughts, projected towards him.

But I want to protect you. You know that. I can’t help it, Neko.

She froze. It was happening again. He was speaking to her—without speaking. Just as he’d done in his Dragon form. Talking to her mind via his own.

“Is that…?” she began. “Did you just say what I think you did?”

Yes, I did.

He was smiling and nodding. Surreal.

Change Number One.

She stumbled towards the bathroom, closing the door behind her. When she was on the other side, she tried again.

Can you hear me now?

Yes, Neko. And I feel that I should tell you—we’re not in a cell phone advert.

How do Dragons even know about cell phones? It seems that you don’t need them.

His deep chuckle echoed through her mind. True—generally we don’t, not with one another, anyhow. But sometimes this sort of chatting isn’t possible. Now finish whatever you’re doing and come back to me.

She smiled as she turned to the sink, splashing a little water on her face. What she felt in that moment was a mix of pleasure and frustration. If he could hear the words she projected his way, did that mean he could delve into her every thought? After all, privacy was a valuable asset. Much as she was learning to enjoy their closeness, the thought of anyone being able to invade her mind was a little horrifying.

When she’d finished in the bathroom she returned to him, a towel wrapped around her nude body. Modesty, it seemed, had reclaimed its rightful place in her psyche.

“Is this going to be weird?” she asked.

“If what you’re asking is if I can read everything you’re thinking, ask yourself this: Can you tell what I’m thinking right now?”

She focused her energy on him, trying to pierce the invisible shell around his mind. But nothing came to her.
