 Flynn had to fight extremely hard to keep his eyebrows still; they were desperate to make a leap towards his hairline. He knew enough about Lorraine to guess that she probably wouldn't have appreciated that particular facial expression, and he rather had his heart set on keeping his eyebrows where they were.
The only word to describe Lorraine's behaviour however, was bizarre.
"Are you...are you feeling alright, Seba'iqer," Flynn asked, making another concerted effort to keep his tone of voice as neutral as his face. Do not poke the bear. "If you're unwell, I'm sure we can find a doctor for you...?" He paused, shaking his head. Why would an original with all of her magic be ill? Divine virus maybe?
He didn't register the approach of running footsteps from behind him because that that precise moment Lorraine grabbed him by the shoulders. Her long finger nails digging through his sleeves uncomfortably. She paused for a moment, giving Flynn the opportunity to glance at Dylan out of the corner of his eye.
"The king says he'd be delighted to receive you Seba'iqer..." the boy hesitated, looking with some concern between the deity and his brother.
Lorraine's next words made Flynn's jaw drop as realisation slapped him in the face.
"Cal!?" he breathed, looking her, or looking Lorraine, up and down. "Why...what...how..."
The final piece slotted forcefully into place. "Omni!" He said triumphantly, transitioning from shock to amusement. "You've been hanging around near a weird man in a stupid green hat, haven't you!"
