Efiroth smiled at his pets and gently pet Nicole, feeling for her as she seemed to be afraid of the lightning. "Nicole, don't be afraid. Besides, the lightning is..." he waited as he watched a bolt of lightning and counted four seconds. "It is twenty miles away, silly. It can't hurt us from here." He smiled down at her and stroked her lips, knowing she loved to nibble him. He smiled as he watched his lovely pet, Celeste, looking out the window. "Celeste, are you okay. Kitten?" he asked as he smiled, impressed with the way she was trying to cheer up her friend.
