Nory (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=666740)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/AnbOZ9J.png)</div><br/>Nory had relaxed into the hug, feeling the casual strength of her friend as they were pressed together. She found it reassuring, as she did the rumble of his voice felt through her body, instead of just through sound. She gave a soft laugh, and started to speak before Merryn's connection cut into her thoughts. "Your voice is all vib-"<br/><br/>With the sudden interruption, she was suddenly very aware of their closeness, and the feel of Kailen's muscular body. Merryn's thoughts in her head hadn't startled her, exactly. She'd gotten used to the fact that such communication with their master was possible, and it had been a long time since she'd been actually startled by the connection. She was almost glad that Kailen pulled back abruptly, although she wasn't sure if it was for the same reason, or simply because he was concentrating on returning a thought.<br/><br/>While he sent his reply, she concentrated on banishing the faint, blue blush that had appeared on her cheeks, turning her face away from Kailen's. That done, she smiled back up at him, accepted his hand and let him casually pull her back to her feet. "Yes, I suppose we should go make ourselves useful."<br/><br/>She followed him out the door, and down the corridor toward the presence of their master. She was fairly easy to orient on, especially when they were as close as they were now. She tapped the release panel for the door, letting Kailen lead the way into the room itself. "Master, Jekin," she said in greeting as they entered the apartment. "What can we do for you, Lieutenant?"
