"It's obviously a cause-and-effect connection, Valian!!! This is dangerous, don't you see?" Saying this, Kalina leaned back against a white column in Valian's office. "It's everything I feared… and more…" She added as if speaking to herself, bringing a hand to her forehead and brushing her bangs to one side.
"Kal, treasure, the transformation isn't the most important matter at hand right now," Valian replied calmly, and she bristled.
"Valian, look me in the eyes and repeat that one more time."
In response, Valian looked at her meaningfully from his desk with those unforgettable eyes of gold and fire. A second later, he reached over to Kal and took her in his warm arms, in a hug that Kalina found as good as a rebirth.
