"Hey, what are you doing here?"
A firm voice rang out from behind.
Victor froze as his killing intent dispersed instantly, like steam vanishing into the night.
His hand dropped slowly as he turned around.
Elyra Vorn stood waw standing right there behind him. Her green skin shimmered faintly under the moonlight as her eyes studied him with quiet intensity.
He forced his voice to stay steady. "I got lost."
Elyra raised a brow with a skeptical look. "This far into the restricted zone?"
Victor shrugged. "Yeah… walked the wrong way coming back from the restroom."
She stepped forward and looked past him to the floating orbs. "Right," she said slowly.
Victor didn't respond for a minute and then turned to her.
"You got lost too or...?"
Elyra turned her eyes back to him. "You're not the only one who came to look at them," she said. "I did too. Earlier. Out of curiosity."
He gave her a look. "That so?"
"Yeah," she replied. "To remember."
A moment passed.
