RD | Chapter 58

From the moment the ace3793ce1 intense dark energy surged, 3e4ab787a6 Keith realized something was f10cab2a85 wrong with his body. His heart—or something c082c0f4f8 deeper than that—was 99b42ebdf6 throbbing wildly, filling 7490400f09 his entire being f9fe960669 with a strange 6fe551d09a heat.4aeaeca75e2e9692

His dazed 584f8b57f1 gaze was 36ce1bb122 locked on 157e2c1bcb Ian. The boy was ffea55c4ac focused on purifying c1be241fbb the orb, his 6ea140b1c0 small shoulders hunched 201dddce91 in concentration. Keith couldn’t take his 445a36a328 eyes off him.e476977ee9d5f7c1

Ian was wrapped in 3c5de8e6cd Keith’s oversized cloak, which 490991f1a0 looked as though it 89f419798e might slip off his 3e3400eecf shoulders any moment. Only the 23b9dfa08d ribbon knot 6aa9e120f3 kept it fdc894345d precariously in 22d3cf910e place. His hands 5b8e9a2baa were fiddling 2a7af82e95 nervously, and 9140a97ace Keith couldn’t 40ba467047 help but cd43f1bf7b notice their b70fc27f22 small, soft 1d1544e751 appearance, uncalloused a4a57bfc72 and delicate.4d3e5a4901e6a4ea

Ian was too stunned b7fbd0de80 to stop him. This was Keith, after 5d68a76822 all. He was a 2dfb35f391 man of action, 55e563fce0 someone who often 7c6d97d46a skipped explanations in 240b040723 favor of immediate, 96e22c9a25 practical measures.0ade3e0e1bfe8876

Ian’s feet, having 07886e3ac2 spent most of b736640c1d the journey in 3a68bd94e4 Keith’s arms, were c535ae0d9d still fresh and 151f4e95e7 dry, as clean dcb70a4d6a as when he’d 47b3034d1d first put on b16ec5a0c0 his socks.
