❝ There’s a water cooler near my desk—To your right. Help yourself. ❞ He breathed painfully, still trying to steady his heart, and breathing. The entire thing had happened so fast that Jordan himself could barely even recall what had actually happened. ❝ Drive by, I think, I don’t know—Just, a rain of bullets coming through the window. There was no one else here but me, given the lateness. I’m just glad no one else was here. ❞
His eyes hovered to the water cooler and he squinted, trying to focus on the molecules that swam about with the small vibrating hum of electricity running the machine. If he could just conjure some towards him–it was a mix of the plastic encasing the water and his tiredness that caused the water to splatter suddenly into the drain, and a trembling hand he did not realize was outstretched dropped to the ground. He really did need a minute. Turning back to Jordan, he nodded once, then inquired what seemed to be the elephant in the room. “This have to do with the not-human part of ye? I still ‘ave naught on what y'are."
