Aether and Paimon could hear Citlali's thoughts in their head. As they tracked down Ororon, the woman thought and thought. It struck Aether just how much she cared for her ward. He admired that concern.
Catching his expression, Citlali returned his smile what a good man, she thought, no wonder Mualani likes him so much.
They continued up the path until the phlogiston brought them to a campsite. Aether tried searching for clues but it wasn't easy with Citlali's thoughts in his head.
He's not bad looking either, she thought, not bad at all. I wouldn't mind spending some private time with him myself.
He bent over to study a patch of bent grass blades.
Now that's a nice view, she thought while checking out his posterior. I wonder what he'd look like without those pesky clothes in the wayMaybebe I could challenge him to a game of Strip Genius Invocation. Hah, that'd be fun! Perfect excuse to see him naked.
"I don't see anything over here," she said. "Let's keep going."
Focus, Citlali, she chided. First, Ororon, then ogling. Oh, I hope he's okay.
Paimon cast Aether a sidelong smirk as they sprinted up the road. She had a strange feeling Aether's little Harem was going to get bigger very soon.
