Lucy Reborn - 32 Focused, not Lazy

For three days, Lucy kept herself in refining. Each time her Mental Sea was opened, it became easier to close. And her body was slowly strengthened with refined with Spirit Essence First her legs, her waist, torso, arms, finally her neck, and head. Till end her teeth, nails, and strands of hair was bursting over with refined Spirit essence.

Her Mental Sea was light, and swift, obedient to her slightest touch. Inner Sky harbored dumpling sized Refined Spirit Essence. Everything else was infused in her blood.

Lucy sneaks out of bed, perking her ears up for Selena’s footsteps. An unfortunate side effect of her mediation was Physician Liu deciding she needed bedrest in order to recover her energy. I’m perfectly fine. I was just being lazy. I mean focused. I was focused, not listless!  Halfway across the room, Lucy freezes hearing steps. Pursing her lips, Lucy lunges forward, grabbing the kitten that was napping in a patch of sunlight. Lucy bolts back to bed, yanking her covers up, and laying down eyes closed. The kitten struggles, Lucy gently soothes Lulu with her pure energy. Lu Lu huffs, but settles her small furry body curlling against Lucy.  Success!

Soft footsteps come into the room. Selena watches Lucy’s face, smothering her laughter {Little faker. Little mistress is such a little faker.} Selena shakes her head, straightening Lucy’s blanket, not calling her out. Selena kisses Lucy’s forehead. “Sleep, Little mistress” Selena says sternly, than settles in a chair near by. Lucy giggles silently, her shoulders shaking. She’s staying. Guess, I can’t get up.

Lucy sneaks her hands out to pet Lu Lu, listening to Selena’s soft breathing. Lucy opens her Inner Sky, and relaxes her whole body as Spirit Essence gathered, attracted to her Spirit Seeds. Lucy allowed three pools of spirit essence to form. Yellow, Silver, Dark. They streamed in naturally.  A slower way of absorbing, allowing her to drift off to sleep, while her Inner Sky gathered spirit essence.

When Lucy woke, her Inner Sky was half full. Lucy refines her fresh spirit essence, than sits up. I want chocolate! I need a brownie! Lucy hugs Lu Lu to her chest, and climbs up onto Selena’s lap. “Selena” Lucy demands, yanking on her dress. Selena blinks, yawning. “Little Mistress?” Selena asks, stabilizing Lucy. “Brownie!” Lucy asks, giving pleading eyes.

Selena frowns. “I don’t think you need sugar. It’s bad for your body” Selena says. No. NO. NO. Lucy pouts, It’s very good for me! VERY GOOD! Lucy breaths carefully, resisting her urge to scream. I blame this small body. Totally blame the body! Lucy blinks cutely, pouting slightly. “Please” Lucy asks in a soft husky tone. Selena melts, hugging Lucy. {Little Mistress is so cute. A small piece is fine}. “Just one” Selena says, standing. Victory!

Lucy smiles, not bothering about Selena’s decision of  just a small one. Once she was eating, Selena would give her more. She loved Lucy’s face while eating. My bane is now my secret weapon! Lucy ignores a twinge of guilt. Selena’s thoughts were nearly impossible to block out, due to their soul link. It would be stupid to ignore what she knew. So why not?
