Angie opened her eyes again, troubled. The rumblings of thunder were getting closer and steadily more violent. She scowled at the black ceiling of the cave and pulled Jeff's jacket more tightly about her. She could feel him breathing, slow and steady, and it eased her riotous spirit slightly.
::Um... Hello?:: she spoke quietly to the strange liren that was companion to the boy. ::Hey, you. Are you awake?::
::I am now,:: Gwenneth replied wryly, listening to the approaching thunder.
::Oh. Sorry.::
The liren smiled. ::It's nothing, child. Go ahead.::
::Okay. Well, I was just wondering... You see, the here-- Alexis, right?-- she... well, she showed me, in my mind, what it's like to... to turn into an animal.::
::Ah,:: Gwenneth breathed, her tone mild but her thoughts apprehensive.
::Yeah, and it was pretty great. I mean, I never thought it could be so neat! I was... I could...:: She trailed off uncertainly.
::I know how you feel,:: Gwenneth assured her. ::Continue.::
::Great,:: Angie said with evident relief. ::Anyway, it was like that, and... and I want to do it again,:: she finished in a rush. ::And I was thinking, you see, you've got lotsa magic, right? I mean, you pulled me from the campsite to where you were, an' you can shift and stuff, and... and I was wondering if you could... if you could make me an animal. It doesn't matter which!:: she added, her tone nearly pleading. ::I just want to try it once, for real. Can you... can you do that? Just for a little while?::
Gwenneth sighed. ::Angelina, go to sleep. We can talk about this in the morning.::
Scared that she had made the powerful creature angry, Angie stumbled, ::Oh, geez, I'm sorry, I just... I...::
::I know child,:: the liren said, and her voice was kind. ::Go to sleep now.::
Almost immediately, Angie felt her eyelids drooping. While the storm moved in overhead, the troubled young g.irl fell asleep nestled at Jeff's side.
