HOORAYYY >:D
Kai barreled down the hall with reckless abandon, bursting into the visiting room, panting with panicked eyes-Torin leaned against the wall, meeting his gaze with one of resignation. Kai peered into the sickroom just as a medroid pulled a white cloth over his fathers closed eyes. His heart plummeted.
Torin murmured
"How could she know...so soon..."
He raised his voice
"Screen, accept comm."
The screen brightened, revealing the Lunar Queen. Her head and shoulders were draped in an ornate cream colored veil, like a perpetual bride. The explanation told by the Lunars was that their Queen's beauty was not a gift to be shared with undeserving Earthens, but Kai had heard that in reality the queen's glamour-her ability to make people see her as divinely beautiful by manipulating their brainwaves-could not transfer over screens, therefore she never allowed herself to be seen over them.
