Crystal Hot-spot

She had been so focused on the boy prior that while she was looking up towards the moon, she noticed finally that the cluster of crystals she had licked were gone. Her expression turned puzzled, maybe those weren't the crystals she licked... it must have been a cluster next to where she thought... She tried to ignore the confused questioning inside her brain, while now she was feeling uneasy and not so social to the company with her. No wonder the crystals tasted like stone if she in fact had licked the wall of the canyon.

It seemed though that the boy had the same thing on his mind, Duchess had missed how the crystal had nearly given him frostbite to the touch. He asked how the crystal had just disappeared. Her gaze was still up at the spot where the crystal once was before she looked down at crystals that were closer to the ground. Without another word, she went to put another in her mouth, would this one disappear too? Or maybe she would instead.
