As the pair disappeared Mj set her attention on Azreal and Lila, the Alpha stood with his arms crossed grinning at the pair that had long disappeared from sight. Lila looked at Mj and shook her head, “thank you Mj'' she said and Mj laughed “Calix beat you to it already but you are welcome,” Mj noticed a flash of what might have been jealousy in Lila’s eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared and she had to wonder what Lila’s relationship was really like with Calix, or if the one she had with Theron was something as unheard of as her shift.
