When Atlantis suddenly passed out, Lina was disturbed. She quickly glanced behind her. The adults were engaged in a deep and private conversation. She was told by her Grandfather many times that only she was allowed to interrupt his conversations. Despite that, her mother would smack her in the face when she tried to butt into adult talk. Lina learned her Grandfather's words only applied when he was around.
Even with Lawrence's presence, Lina was worried. Just this morning, her mother had yelled at her for attempting to speak when Lawrence was discussing something with her father, Linden.
Sulking to herself, Lina curiously poked the boy, wondering if he had fallen asleep.
"Pst… pst…"
Lina nudged Atlantis, worried that she'd have to call the adults over. The boy let out a small groan, forcing his eyes open. Through the dim darkness, she saw something protruding from his face. Out of curiosity, she touched it, causing him to hiss in pain.
