Her grin quickly turned to a frown of pain. Denise grit her teeth to stop herself from crying out with pain. It felt like her own mind had been invaded as the torrent of symnols flooded her mind. It was too much at once. She could not make any sense of it at all. Just when she thought she could make any sense of it a bright light flashed through her mind and the connection broke.

Denise's vision was blurry and she barely picked up on the words as an elbow struck her chest. A shimmer of red appeared where the strike impacted leaving Denise unscathed but got pushed backwards. She gasped for breath before it came back in pulses, her breath laboured. A slight trick of blood ran down from her nose.

What did this mean? Was she really? Denise had met others who could not be read, or those with defences, but this was certainty something new. Her gaze slowly focused on Calieo. This one was special indeed. She lit a fire inside of her heart. It was like spotting something precious and wonderful and having your breath stolen away due to its beauty.

That was how it felt to Denise as she now looked at Calieo eating some dried meat. A desire to possess, a desire....what could be described as a crush, although a bit twisted. Her heart beat quickly and a faint blush appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, I let my curiosity get the better of me." Denise said and put on her best smile.

She turned and looked around. "They're quite slow to appear; aren't they? Last chance to leave them all behind." she said and chuckled before turning back to Calieo.
