“He and I are... both authorized now, and we’re going to stay that way, but we brought back the authorizations we took from you and Llare.”
Llipel tilted her head. Nita pulled one of the chains over her head, then moved toward her guardian, holding out the authorization. Llipel suddenly raised her arms and held her hands in front of her chest, claws out.
She’s frightened, Nita thought, and then: She’s scared of me now. The defensive gesture dismayed her.
