Pele was absolutely shocked by her mother’s sudden outburst, and stared with wide eyes at those gleaming fangs. She could almost see her reflection in them. Everything went still and silent after her mother’s warning. Pele continued to stare upwards, now at the ceiling instead of her mother, but soon turned her head to look at Alsek. Her ears—newly opened—were ringing, but otherwise she was fine. That outburst hadn’t upset her so much as it had surprised her. She had to suppress the the urge to laugh again, actually. She knew her mom meant business but it had just been so shocking to see her so upset like that that it was almost funny.
