Some inane part of Eldain's brain couldn't help but find the irony amusing. Get a cool new secret agent gig, just in time to lose telepathy? Possibly the most useful power you could have at a job like that? Ugh!

That was serious, though, and something that needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. He mentally moved Eva up several slots on his rapidly-growing list of priorities. He walked over and set a consoling hand on her shoulder. "I will find a way to fix this. Promise. We'll all be back to yelling at you to get our of our heads in no time! But I have to get back, make sure Sophie's safe, okay? You going to be alright here? Are you safe here? I can drop you at mom and dad's, or Danielle's." Eldain was not used to having to worry much about his family's safety. But with Sophie missing and Eva powerless, he was getting seriously concerned. Someone was making things personal, and they were going to pay for it.
