Minion spun in his tank, blinking his big brown eyes, “Holowatch?” he tried hopefully, maybe there had been a malfunction… both sets of eyes were green… he squinted at the not-Sir… no those were definitely the right eyes. What was going on here?
Syx pressed himself into Anna and drew in a tight breath, “Minion,” he felt so weak and helpless, “I need you?”
Despite his confusion, Minion responded to the plea. His large furry arms wrapping around both Anna and true-Sir, “It’s all right, Sir. We’re home, Sir. Everything will be better in the morning, you’ll see.”
They were words he’d said so often, like a ritual.
Muddling through to find an answer, right now, is far more difficult than Veda was used to. Something that makes the difficulty in putting words together worse, though just how that worked she wasn’t able to make sense of.
“I- Veda,” is finally forced out through clenched teeth, the woman tense and wanting to bolt. Despite that she’s still frozen in place, the mix of familiar and unfamiliar here enough to keep her from doing so. Minion’s question, for now, earns that same wide-eyed and near-frightened look.
Hearing the weak sound of her mate’s voice in the female body, Anna feels a protective sensation rising within, arms tightening around him moments before Minion came to wrap his arms around them both. She made a low grumbling wolf-like noise in her chest, pressing a long and firm kiss to the top of his head. She relished in the sensation the two of them brought to her, the sensation of her pack surrounding her soothing her like nothing else could. Taking in a deep breath, she soon pulled away and looked to Minion.
“Can you take him and look with him through the footage? See if there is anything we can find from there?” She urged, her voice quiet and calm as always before turning towards Veda. Smiling a small, gentle smile she motioned with her hand extended palm up, “If you’re hungry, I would be happy to make some breakfast for you as well. I would appreciate the company, if anything,” She urged.
In her mind, she couldn’t have Veda running off and ruining anything that could potentially get any information… and these two standing where they were now, and Syx prone to more outbursts, she needed to get them separated.
It was horrible, the dull feeling in his senses. He couldn’t smell the way Anna felt as she wrapped around him. It was disorienting and it wasn’t until it was gone that he realized just how essential that sense was.
He made a sound of protest as Anna separated herself from him, but what she said sounded right. He should check the video feeds… Even though Minion would be perfectly capable of that himself, Syx wouldn’t be satisfied until he saw it himself. Anna knew him well in that. But… but as logical as it was… He started at his mate as she approached the other person wearing his face. He feeling in his gut wasn’t something he was used to. Was… Was this what jealousy felt like? He didn’t want her with who ever that was… that Veda person. She was his. His mate.
He wouldn’t have left at all if it weren’t for Minion’s bulk and gentle mechanical hands, “I can draw you a bath after, Sir?”
