Bwoshih shot up and dashed over as soon as he heard Audrey's panicked yell. He ran over and grabbed Audrey by her shoulders, giving her a reassuring half-hug.
"Are you alright?" he asked, concerned, sensing the fright in her.
He quickly scanned Erik to see how he was. The boy was alright, just unconscious and bruised. Nothing seemed to be broken though, and no concussion was detectable. Still, it would be safer to call the nurse. He mentally sent a message to a few of Cresta's medics and began to mentally calm the other students. Most of the empaths would be useless for the rest of the class now, by the way they were cowering on the ground. Bwoshih sent out waves of assurance to the empaths, and they gradually stopped being scared. Audrey, however, was another matter. He looked at her and smiled gently.
"Are you alright, Audrey?" he asked. 'It's not your fault. I felt what he did. Don't blame yourself for this, alright? Would you like to continue, or rest a bit until you're ready to try again? Or do you want to talk to someone? You could help me sooth the empaths, they're in pretty bad shape.' he added telepathically so that no one else would hear.
He continued to smile gently and send her mental reassurance as he waited for her answer. |
