“Kane,” I start, annoyance taking hold. I push away from him, wanting to get away from him and his stupid teasing. Only, he seems to give me what I wish as he lets me slip and collapse down onto the map.
My chest is heaving as I lay on my back, looking up at the ceiling as I still try to catch my breath.
“We’ll stop there for the night,” Kane informs me and I nearly send a thank you to the Goddess herself. Kane must notice my gratitude because he gives a slight chuckle as he sits down on the mat, merely joining me as I try and recover.
Once I’m semi back to normal, I hear Kane clear his throat.
“Something bothers me…,” he begins, and I want to press out a long sigh. I assume he means something about me is bothersome, causing me to wait for whatever criticism he’s prepared to share.
