"Ooh, so I'll have to figure it all out for myself? This will be fun." Eden looked up at him after a moment, her brow furrowed. "What? Am I doing it wrong?" "Look at that. So eager for your approval."
"I'll send him back," she said decisively as the fox went through the portal. She grinned up at him. "How'd I do, teach'?" "Oh, too easy..."
She stretched slightly before folding her wings against her back. "Now what?" "A nerve, huh? What should I make her do next? Do you think I could make her cut off her own wings if I asked?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, but he looked down at his watch. "I think class is ending soon." "I said shut up!" he shouted, obviously angry now.
"Okay. What do you want to do after this?" "Ooh. I could, couldn't I? I could convince her to do anything I wanted."
"Well," she mused, closing her notebook. "We could go home and make dinner, if you wanted. We got all that stuff from the market." "You clearly don't know how this works, human. She's so naive. I bet she sleeps right next to you, doesn't she? I bet she folds up those wings and curls up next to you and you feel wonderful because she obviously trusts you and wants to be with you, huh?"
"Sure. That sounds nice." "Don't touch her! Don't touch her!" His voice was surprisingly powerful, but it did nothing except make his power stronger.
She grinned and put her books in her bag, kissing his cheek before reaching for his hand. "Let's go, yeah?" "Don't touch her, you say? I hate to disappoint, but I'm afraid that won't be possible."
The spirit laughed slightly in Sam's head as Eden squeezed his hand, pointing idly at a flock of geese flying overhead. "How are you going to kill me if you can't even move, Sam?"
Eden noticed the temperature change in his hand she was holding, her brows furrowed. "Sam...?" she asked, turning to look at him with a frown. "Enryli tastes so good, did you know? Have you tried?"
