You feel the eyes on you and immediately want to act, but as you feel it, you don't feel any hostility in the gaze on you. In fact, as you focus on the sensation, you don't sense any hostility at all. So, instead of reacting you keep your breathing even and calm, senses focused to try and find your observer. For several moments nothing happens, then you hear the faintest sound of a footstep by the doorway. It's light, as if someone is sneaking in. But after a couple more seconds they take another step, and then another. Only for the door to close with a hiss, Towa stirring a moment in her sleep. The figure freezes, you hearing a slight, sharp inhale of breath. One that is either a young woman or child's, you focusing on your senses further.
After a moment Towa goes still, body pressed to yours as her breathing returns to normal. You hear the watcher sigh out in relief, you now recognizing your watcher. It's Cesha. But why did she sneak into your room? What is she doing here? Your curiosity gets the better of you, and with a gentle touch use your telekinesis to lightly lift your own eyelid slightly. Giving you a sliver of vision of the room without your eyes twitching or hinting that you're awake, seeing the girl, now wearing a skintight suit and armor of a Saiyan creep up to the foot of your bed, and kneel down beside it. Disappearing, leaving only her horns sticking up over the edge. What in the world is she doing? But as you sit there, confused, suddenly she begins to talk in a low, reverent whisper. And it takes you a moment to realize that she's not talking to you. Or to anyone in the room, but to some higher power.
“Please, watch over him. Watch over Karn and his family, and those he holds dear.” the girl says, you realizing she's saying a prayer over you. Over your family to whatever god or gods she worships. “Forget my parents, they're not worth saving. But these people helped me, saved me from bad people and gave me a home. So if you could watch out for them, take care of them for me and repay the kindness they gave me, I'd greatly appreciate it.”
And as she prays, you can feel her Faith in the air. Which, for someone who'd been what she'd been through, for her to have any faith in a deity is a surprise. But as you sit there, still and observing, suddenly you feel like this is a private moment you shouldn't be here for. But she continues, wishing for your health, your family's health, and 'the old man too'. She prays for over a minute before saying her farewell to the deity she worships, the feeling of power that swelled in the room fading as she rises back to her feet, you closing your eyes back before she can see you awake. And listen to her footsteps slowly, carefully creep backwards, the door opening and closing as she departs. Leaving you there with your thoughts, wondering which deity she worships? And if whichever god it is truly deserves such pure, wholesome Faith.
