<div align="center">Kyle</div>Taking his seat as request by the mayor, Kyle silently hopes this will be quick as he is already feeling uncomfortable on the stage. Sure he has no problem being in front of people and regularly handles mission briefings or debriefings after a mission but that is with all military personal. Having to address civilians is some else entirely and especially a whole town, but being his home town many of the residents he knows just makes the thought nearly unbearable. He knows it is likely to not be quick and many questions asked needing answers and some questions likely to be asked several different times by different people not understanding or willing to accept the answers.<br/><br/>His private thoughts are suddenly interrupted by Giselle using telepathy, at first Kyle just listens to find out what she is trying to tell him. He completely shocked out of own thoughts as he hears the explanation of what is happening much like he heard the first she spoke to him in this manner. He looks at her with a questioning expression and sees her intent gaze on somebody else. Following her gaze he sees that it is Mary. He leans in to just inches from Giselle’s ear and in doing so his hand inadvertently comes to rest on her armored thigh just above her knee, he in a voice he hopes is just loud enough for her alone to hear he asks, “Why did I just hear you mind speaking to Mary?”
