Around the corner, hidden by the wall of the school, Rinacht watched Raj back up, turn, and disappear down the street.
"What did you find, my friend?"
Rinacht knelt down and placed his palm flat against one of the large stones that made up the school wall. His mind connected instantly, allowing his consciousness to flow throughout the large structure.
The Massive, uncut stones that formed the wall were close enough to their natural state, moved into place but otherwise untainted by the hand of a Zo or Botan, that their awareness was still strong. What Rinacht could feel through the larger stones was like an imprint. He recognized the pattern that Raj made. It was something he’d felt many times. But there was another pattern associated with Raj, something new. Something strong.
He tried to focus the awareness on that pattern, hoping to glean more detail. There was a great deal of energy in it. And… excitement. Although he didn’t recognized it he realized, the stone did. He could feel the stones reaction to it. It was almost… happiness.
Rinach searched his memories for what could possibly have this kind of reaction with the stone. He wished he’d kept some of the books his grandfather had given him.
