Uh oh. This isn't gonna end well. Wynn braced herself.

"So apparently Malum isn't the only one who can control you."

TAAron did not react physically, but his voice wavered. "Do you know... who Tristan is?"

His friend. The one that he thought had died.

TAAron kept writing.

Who touched me?

Lerac, who had remained silent until that point, perked up. "That would be me, right? I had my hand on his forehead."

Wynn thought for a second.

"You mind if I try something?" She asked TAAron.

Who are you? She traced on his palm.

I'm going to say that the person cannot feel with that level of detail, although you might be able to find a different way to communicate with him through feeling.

TAAron jumped back, but did not attempt to write anything. "Interesting. So what were you trying to do there?"

"It's a form of communication used in dimensions with no light or sound. I guess it doesn't work too well here."

Wynn's brow furrowed in thought.

"Do you think they'd understand Morse code?"

"I don't know what that is." TAAron began writing again.

Tap number for letter.

"Smart." Wynn muttered. "But this is gonna take forever."

20 1 16     3 15 4 5?

"It must have." Wynn sighed. "Tap code would be a lot easier than a direct number-to-letter code, but I guess maybe they don't know it."

Should I just put the numbers in as letters to make reading easier?

This is fine for me, but you can do that if it makes it easier for you.

TAAron took the stick and wrote again.

Tristan Naut. Who are you?

Wynn Sylphcharmer. How are you controlling TAAron?

TAAron is writing your words with a stick. Are you doing this unintentionally?

Wynn addressed TAAron. 
“This is not good.”

You are writing with a stick. Using TAAron’s body. Explain.

“Lerac, something weird must’ve happened when you healed him.” Wynn guessed. 
TAAron can see and hear but not move. Where are you right now?

"Hey, I just heal people physically. I don't do soul-bending... stuff."

Same place I've been. Nothing to see or hear. But I can feel here.

Welcome back! A bit of catch-up now: They have arrived in the WoT dimension, and Lerac managed to wake TAAron up. However, while TAAron can see hear and speak, it appears that Tristan is controlling his body somehow. He and Wynn are communicating through a tap code and writing with a stick. Tristan cannot hear or see anything.

"No, I'm TAAron. But Tristan is... controlling me?"

“Hmm. That’s super cool! I wonder what’s going on. Do you hear any voices in your head? What’s going on in there?”
