Beware the Luminescence-
Kem followed his Trainer as he was led to an unknown place. It has been half a year since Slade had saved him and he was now being brought before his Mas- his Trainers partners.
"How long will this take?" Kem asked quietly.
Slade hummed and opened a door before letting his Trainee go first.
"An hour at most" the man explained and got in lead again.
Kem nodded and felt a soft warmth wrap around him as they walked through another door.
"Is this the one you told us about?" a female voice sounded from Kems'left.
The boy froze and leaned closer to his Savior. Sure, Slade had trained him to fight but he still didn't feel safe around newcomers and had a panic attack whenever unknown people were close to him without Slade near.
"Yes" Slade responded and Kem felt the man place a hand on his back in reassurance.
Kem blinked and let his shoulders relax but the rest of his body stayed tense.
"What is your name" a male voice demanded.
"K-Kem" the boy whispered, hoping that was what they had meant and not the name that his Master had given him.
"Kem" the female voice seemed to smile, "that means 'sun' and 'to love' in Romani, doesn't it?"
"Yes ma'am" Kem whispered.
"Slade"
The mentor seemed to stiffen slightly and stand at attention.
"You can keep him" the female said before the electrical buzz around the room disappeared.
Kem followed Slade out of the room, curious on what she had meant.
