I think her bravery is commendable, Astrum thought, but he was too nervous to voice it. He didn't like seeing his best friend angry - truthfully, it scared him. Mind was fierce, which made him a wonderful friend, but when he turned his fierceness on anybody close to Astrum, he felt uncomfortable.

"So you feel protective," he thought out loud. His sister had told him about a psychological practice called mirroring, and he might as well give it a try.
