"Bullshit. I've heard this story once or twice before. Never works." Pause, as he picks out one of the salamander Salamanders. "Where is she, Bernard?"

There is a faint hiss at the end of the word.

"Nifty trick there." Pause. "Pardon me if I don't quite buy that you don't have some trick up your sleeve."
A grin spreads across their face.
"None of you ever used such perfect Common, anyway."

"Do you really think you can help her? You still hate her! For all she reminds you of... the past you cannot escape..."

There is a sadistic smile on all of their faces.

"Prove it! Show her to me."
Desperately he tries to pull himself back under control. Whether it's working or not, however, is to be determined.
