A heavy silence fell upon the entire clearing as everyone finally righted themselves.
Not bothering with any form of decorum, I sat cross legged on the floor, Malachi following suit with Leo crouching right beside us.
Our undivided attention locked on to the old man.
I felt his indifferent gaze locked unto us.
He wasn't doing anything. Yet it felt like he was seeing far more than any of us had any idea of.
"Heh! Damn old man." I sneered in my head. Making sure to have that technique up if I didn't want my ass flamed.
"Hmm?" He seemed to have picked up on it as he raised a brow, his stare pausing briefly on my face.
"Shit." I broke into an unconscious sweat as I waited for him to look away, and thankfully, he did.
"Hoo…" a breath of relief escaped me before I could stop it.
"Alright. Let's get this over with. I didn't think there was going to be another one but it doesn't matter either way." The old man began, voice not shifting from that plain tone of his.
