[color=D6CC88]The child glared at Zander when he looked at her, and deliberately looked somewhere else.  He might be coming with but that didn't mean she had to like him.  And now Geoffrey was going to join their group as well, at least until the next town?  Amuné moved closer to Ethan, brows drawing together.  Even though she'd wanted to keep her magic a secret, when Ethan and Nymira had found out it had felt like a weight was lifted off her chest.  She didn't have to worry so much about trying to hide her visions, nor feel bad for lying about them, nor worry about what would happen if she slipped up.  And now they were taking along more people, people who didn't know, and who they might not be able to trust.  Geoffrey didn't seem to be a Magi.  For that matter, Zander hadn't used magic of his own, had he?  Just those seals.  The Starsions were Magi -- more evidence he wasn't really one.

Nymira mentioned getting Norman to take a look at Cecil, and the girl thought that was a good idea.  But how were they supposed to let him know?  Sending a letter took forever.  And that was something else to worry about -- what the healer and the innkeeper's son would think if they found out about Cecil.  If bad people were chasing Cecil then telling everyone how he was a special Machina with magic wasn't a good idea.  How were they going to keep all these secrets with strangers around?  And even if they could, how could they possibly relax while having to worry about it?[/color]
