Average Jilurian Antics. (Stormkatz, Artel and Zay)

Syru could tell how captivated Elli was by his magic, and quite right too- Rintho just had to let him show her! Caution was necessary, though; if Syru seemed like he was too exicted, Rintho probably wouldn’t let him use the magic, given how he was talking. What harm would it do anyone to just show Elli what he could do?
“M’not gon’ hurt her!” he protested, taking a step back and trying to look sober and mature. “S’my friend! I jus’ wanna mak’ah feel ‘wake!” He was far from a fine level of control over others’ emotions, but he was capable of a blunt, direct stab of emotion- especially if he was simply projecting his own current feelings at somebody else, as he planned to do with Elli. That was the perfect fix to her feeling sleepy, wasn’t it? Then Rintho could talk to Elli’s daddy and then they could play all night without Elli getting tired! Beaming winningly, he watched Rintho’s face, waiting for an answer with barely disguised impatience.

Elli bounced along happily, trying to keep her enery going, but she wasn't as well adapted to nighttime as Syru was. She wasn't sure what 'making her feel awake' would do, but it sounded like a good idea to her. She looked at Rintho, adding to Syru' imploring expression.

They were nearing the edge of the graveyard by then, so she walked just behind Rintho, waiting for some indication of which way they were going to go. The squiggles over her vision changed as they decided which direction to walk, but Elli ignored it, looking through the colours. She was getting used to doing that - the bright lines didn't distract her as much as they had when she was a baby at least. She wished she could show Syru them; he could show off his magic, but she had no idea how to show off hers, but that didn't seem likely. Maybe in future she would understand more, and she could show him then.

Elli was completely trusting of her two new friends, which may not have been the most sensible course of action considering the circumstances she had met Rintho in, but she was perfectly happy walking along in the dark. She only hoped that next time they could meet in the daytime, or at least a little bit earlier at night...
