Chapter 17: Reylyn

Reylyn practically spit out of her water when Rheton told her about the plants of Retano. Not to mention that he was cheerful about plants literally possibly killing someone.

"This one is called the riversnaper!" he cheered as if it couldn't kill him. "Only people that have geokinesis powers can touch them," He reached out to touch it, but she smacked his hand away.

"Listen to your own advice," she scowled at him. Reylyn still hadn't understood Rheton yet. He was so kind and careless about almost anything. She definitely liked how much of a good listener he was.

He chuckled. "I'm alright, Reylyn." he swallowed hard. "I have geokinesis,"

Reylyn pretended not to act surprised. "Fun," she replied dryly.

"He can help you on your quest, Agni," Caryx's whiny voice echoed in her ear.

"Was planning on it," she thought in her mind, even though she did not in fact plan on that.

"I have pyrokinesis," she admitted bluntly. "Ability to control fire and all that fun stuff,"

He smiled at her. Did this boy ever stop smiling like a mad man?

She squinted at him angrily, he was like a big teddy bear. "You remind me of a big teddy bear," she laughed as she said that out loud. It had come out a lot sweeter than it was meant to.

Rheton raised his eyebrow. "A big teddy bear? You think I'm hairy?" He faked a scowl. "How dare you!"

Reylyn chuckled at him, but she felt a pang in her heart. Saif was probably worried sick about her. She used her mind for a few seconds before she found Caryx's voice. Hopefully he could be helpful and mature.

"Can you mind visiting Saif? Or is it like a one person limit thing?"

Caryx giggled like a toddler. "No, it's not a one time person limit, thanks for asking though."

Reylyn rolled her eyes at him. "You're welcome, boy."

"It might take me a minute to mind communicating with him," He admitted. "I'm a little dry with new people,"

She scowled at him and Rheton looked up and clicked his tongue.

"Everything okay over there?" Somehow Reylyn had failed to notice that he was halfway across the room with a notebook and pen. He seemed to be writing all of the pens names, oh and touching them. He was reading the names off of the plants and the labels as well. She wasn't as worried about him touching the plants. anymore.

"Yes!" she shouted back. "Just talking to myself,"

"You gotta stop scowling like that, Agni! People will start thinking you're going crazy!" He made a fake ghost sound.

"You're the reason for that scowl, dumbo. Now get back to your job,,"

Caryx chuckled. "Yes ma'am. Or should I call you queen?"

"Please call me Reylyn or Agni, thanks a lot, you,"

"Okay, Okay. Going over to Saif's mind Agni,"

Reylyn let out a sigh of relief. Saif deserved to know she was safe and okay. She was slightly worried that Caryx would say something stupid and scare Saif half to death.
