章 273: A Stern Talking To...

When Aubrey said sit down, she actually meant it. 

She and her brother were now sitting crosslegged in the middle of the room as they both stared at each other. 

No matter how strong he was, Malachi would confess that he was actually feeling more than a little nervous right now. 

"Everybody is worried sick about you, you know..." she began. "You're functioning like you're on autopilot half the time, it's like you're not even there.

You just go out to work, come home to check on Serana, and then go to sleep. I'd say you're like a ghost, but ghosts don't exactly run all over the base trying to do everything at once."

"I-I've been a little more active than normal, yea, but saying I'm like a ghost feels like a stretch. I'm still present." Mal defended. 

Aubrey didn't say anything, simply nodded while she concentrated on her spell. "Cool... so you know Rose broke up with Aisha and I then?"

Malachi's eyes nearly rocketed from their skull.
