"…Gone?"
[Completely.]
A weight settled in the air between them.
Lucavion exhaled through his nose, running a hand through his hair. "Now I really want to see what's going on there."
[Tsk. Obviously.] Vitaliara flicked her tail. [But that is the thing…..there is nothing in that place anymore….]
Lucavion exhaled slowly, his gaze settling on Vitaliara with quiet thoughtfulness.
"So, let me get this straight," he murmured. "You sensed a place overflowing with life energy. You went there, and without doing anything, you started absorbing that energy. Then, the entire place just… vanished?"
Vitaliara flicked her tail, her golden eyes narrowing. [That sums it up.]
Lucavion ran a hand through his hair, leaning back into his chair. "That feels like a setup."
[I thought the same thing.]
Silence stretched between them.
