I still want out of this room.
Aragonia Felipo nearly toppled the stool over, her glasses falling off in her surprise. “What?” she gasped.
That would be me.
“You’re not talking,” she realized with a jolt.
Well, you don’t know that for sure, said the Voice Inside Ari’s Head, and she could swear she got a mental image of Ross raising a pale eyebrow. Y’know, I could be…I dunno, maybe talking inside your head.
“You mean I’ve gone insane?”
No, I mean I opened a mental connection with you.
“What?”
Ross mentally sighed. Must I explain everything to you? it is really quite easy. I probed your mind in an attempt to open a mental connection.
“The searching for the answer to open the door –“
is most certainly in your mind, but I wasn’t looking for it, nor did I find it. And apparently I shouldn’t look again.
“What about the evil smirk?”
She could practically hear Ross mentally shying away from the topic. Never mind. Ha, that is an interesting pun. Never – mind. You know, I should really never use the word ‘mind’ for other purposes, considering certain…abilities I might posses.
“What about the evil smirk, and the mental dossier you took of all the doors in my entire existence?”
Ehm… never happened.
“Ross, just, shut up, okay, and maybe I won’t cut your life support.”
Fine, be that way.
