Dancing

Sersi was headed to a club to go dancing. She had gone with Dane a couple times, but he was out of town. Something about a sword.

Sersi was accustomed to turning heads when she went out in public, as she was quite beautiful. However, a large crowd formed behind her. The streets of London were always quite busy, so Sersi assumed this was a coincidence.

The strangest thing was that she heard a series of "click" noises from the camera of a cellphone behind her. She figured they must be tourists taking pictures of the scenery. There were a lot of historic buildings in London, after all.

Finally, she reached her destination. As she walked in, all eyes were on her. Her cheeks turned pink from the attention, and she giggled. A quiet murmur spread across the crowd. "Is that the girl from the photos that went viral?"

Sersi began to dance to the music that was playing on the loudspeaker. The crowd cheered in excitement and filmed her. Sersi was confused but loving it. She was just some random teacher from London. Sure she was very attractive, but why was she so popular all of a sudden?

Back at the apartment, Sprite began to get a headache. She popped an ibuprofen, but after a few hours it still proved ineffective. Their Eternal physiology was not susceptible to human medicines. The strain of maintaining the illusion at this distance was wearing her out.
