venusadept_2Sheba had been disappointed when they finally got the Hover Jade. It didn't seem to lift them more than a few inches off the ground, and only for a few seconds.
"That's not a hover! It's not even much of a jump!" she'd complained.
But she wasn't complaining now.
"Look, Felix!"
Felix was trying very hard not to look. That they were still under Jupiter Lighthouse, in a room carved out of ordinary rock, helped, but he still didn't like being eight or ten feet above the floor, on a platform made entirely of Psynergy. Especially when he wasn't in control of it. Intellectually, he knew there was no safer way to get into the Lighthouse, and that Sheba wouldn't do anything dangerous, but he couldn't...
His train of thought was interrupted by Sheba's hand slipping into his. Small and light as a curl of wind she might be, but that contact calmed Felix enough to open his eyes and begin to glimpse what she found so amazing.
