"Kassie?"
She turned slightly from the front row of pews.
I stepped closer, but she immediately shouted.
"Don't come closer!"
I stopped mid-stride, feet planted against the cold stone floor. Even so, hearing her voice again sent a strange warmth through my chest. After everything that had happened, just knowing she was okay...
Sparks flickered around her form, dancing like agitated fireflies. Then she fixed me with a stern look.
"Why are you here?"
I raised my eyebrows at the absurdity of such a question.
"What do you mean... why am I here? This is my soul plane. And of course, I came to check up on you."
"Check up on me?" She repeated the words slowly, like she was testing their weight. Confused.
"Yes, Kassie." I strolled forward, keeping my movements casual. "After that fall, I didn't assume you'd come out of it without damage."
"I did take damage. But The Nave healed me."
