Wyatt was a lot taller compared to when Susan had first met him. Now she had to lift her head to look into his eyes. So she never noticed, Dredre who had cuddled up with his hair. Therefore she assumed they were alone, explaining her restrained yet bold action.
"I am fine Dredre, what are you doing in his hair?" Susan asked, glaring daggers at Wyatt. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. She put herself out there, opening up to Wyatt, only to feel mocked by his response. His laughter cut deep, intensifying her discomfort. It was too much to bear, the vulnerability she had shown now turned against her. Susan's cheeks flushed with a mix of anger and humiliation as she struggled to maintain her composure.
"I don't know how I woke up in Wyatt's hair. But, are you sure you're fine, you look red?" Dredre asked again, concern evident in her voice. If earlier Susan's redness was due to shyness and a hint of blush, now it stemmed from a mixture of shame and rage directed squarely at Wyatt. Seeing him trying his best to hold back his laughter felt like mockery, twisting Susan's emotions into a knot of humiliation and indignation. Despite her efforts to compose herself, the heat of her anger radiated through her cheeks, betraying the turmoil within. Wyatt's attitude only fueled her simmering resentment.
"I'm fine, sweety," Susan reassured Dredre, masking her inner turmoil with a forced smile. Despite her seething anger towards Wyatt, she maintained her patience with Dredre, refusing to let her emotions spill over. Behind her composed facade, Susan's eyes smoldered with unspoken fury fixated on Wyatt. "Dredre, let us go continue with the preparation," Susan redirected their attention, gracefully pivoting away from Wyatt's presence. Determined to not let his actions ruin her day, she chose to focus on the task at hand, leaving Wyatt to stew in the wake of her silent condemnation.
However, Wyatt's sudden and bold action caught Susan off guard as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Shocked and bewildered, she stumbled slightly, her heart racing in her chest. Caught in Wyatt's arms, she could feel the warmth of his embrace enveloping her. Stuttering with a blush tinting her cheeks, she managed to utter, "Wyatt, what are you doing?" Her voice trembled with a mix of confusion and vulnerability, unsure of his intentions. Despite her uncertainty, there was a flicker of curiosity and perhaps even a hint of anticipation beneath the surface of her words.
Kissing Susan gently on her forehead, Wyatt whispered in her ear, "Trust me, I will make it up to you soon."
"Um," Susan meekly uttered, her voice barely above a whisper, as she nodded her head nervously, resembling a cornered and spooked rabbit. Caught off guard and unsure how to respond, she felt a surge of anxiety coursing through her, leaving her feeling vulnerable and exposed.
But Wyatt's words had sparked a sense of anticipation and excitement within Susan, erasing her anger toward him. She leaned into his embrace, reassured by his affectionate gesture.
"Humans are weird," Dredre muttered, recalling insights from the book she read to better assist Wyatt. It explained that when humans fell ill, they turned red and emitted heat or cold. Susan exhibited these signs, yet claimed she was fine. Dredre was puzzled over this contradiction, unsure how to interpret Susan's behavior.
"Dredre, don't you remember flying to my side in your sleep?" Wyatt asked, steering the conversation away, releasing Susan from his embrace.
"No, I don't remember doing anything like that. I had a pleasant sleep. But, did I disturb you?" Dredre asked, her tone laced with guilt. Concerned about potentially disrupting Wyatt's rest, she sought reassurance, hoping to alleviate any discomfort her actions may have caused.
"Nope, I was surprised by how cute our Dredre is when she is asleep," Wyatt remarked, reassurancing Dredre, hoping to alleviate any discomfort she felt over something out of her control and she doesn't remember. "Dredre, how long till your forest's spirit is born?" he inquired, shifting focus to a different topic, to maintain a lighter atmosphere.
"Soon, it could be today or now. This part is not in my hands. All I know is it will happen and I can only wait," Dredre explained. If not for Susan persuading her to rest, she would not have slept but continued to watch her forest, eagerly anticipating the birth of its spirit.
"Okay, you girls do what you need to do. I'll be back in my isolated space. Call me when it's time," Wyatt announced, retreating to his isolated space. With a nod, he left Dredre and Susan to continue their preparations, trusting them to handle the preparations for the forest spirit's birth while he awaited their call.
In his isolated space, leaving his clone behind, Wyatt entered the Blood Rock Cave gate dungeon. Without delay, he drew a little blood from Cortney and used it to create a blood curse substitution card. The purpose? To transfer the hypnotic suggestion seed implanted into Cortney's soul pathways into her blood curse substitute.
After creating the blood curse substitute card using Cortney's blood, Wyatt then proceeded to use his soul energy manipulation to match his soul energy vibration to the vibrations of Cortney's soul pathways to transfer the hypnotic suggestion seed implanted in her by Handsome Fox into the card as carefully and precisely as possible without letting the hypnotic suggestion seed realize it was being moved from Cortney's body into a blood curse substitute.
It was difficult because the roots of the seed were too thin, though his soul pipuls allowed him to distinguish them from Cortney's soul pathway. Moving them between Cortney and her blood curse substitute with his soul energy as a medium was easier said than done. But with patience, Wyatt had managed to move the entirety of the hypnotic suggestion seed and its roots into the blood curse substitute card.
