Chapter 48: Safety Nudge
Zarian hadn’t noticed until now that he had readjusted his walking speed and other physical movements while in the mansion. When he paid more attention to the mansion’s servants, he noticed how slow and uncoordinated they were. They weren’t oafs, but they lacked the grace of someone with plenty in Agility.
They also seemed very ‘delicate’ to him. They were like very tiny and vulnerable babies teenagers.
Maybe even worse than that. Like freshly born kittens. The girls’ lack in levels was messing with Zarian’s perception of them.
Everyone in his party had seamlessly changed their movements just like him while around the weaker humans. He doubted they noticed unless it was Naomi.
Anything physical was the type of thing she would look out for.
He figured he might as well ask as they left behind the spa. The men were dressed in casual beige shirts and brown trousers with loafers. The women were dressed in billowy and loose beige dresses with sandals.
Loner stayed behind. He seemed to enjoy being in the cold bath.
“So you noticed it, too,” Naomi said, responding to his inquiry. “Yeah, I felt it right away when we got into the mansion. It felt like a nudge to slow down and play soft.”
“A nudge from where?” Bianca asked.
