We’ll see. 

She massaged her temples. "Yeah."

The side of his beak grazed her cheek. It will be alright. 

"You can't promise that. Do you know anyone who can teleport?"

“Take your time.”

Is it safe to go with him?

He nodded. "I'll... I'm ready. I think. Let's go up."

"It's... A lot. But whatever point you're trying to make, it isn't received."

The Queen sighed. "I was hoping you would join me voluntarily. But if that path won't work." She looked at him seriously. "We have your girlfriend. Currently there is a knife to her throat. If you do not cooperate, I will give the signal. And she will die."

"You're lying." TAAron felt inexplicably certain about that, but he couldn't keep a quaver out of his voice.

"TAAron. What reason would I have to lie." The Queen sighed. "Really, I did wish to do this without violence. But if it is necessary, I will do it. I truly hope you make the right decision here."

"TAAron. This is the truth. All of what I've said is. You need proof? I can give you proof. But you won't like the way I give it."

He took a deep breath. "Fine. Fine. Can I... try to understand better?"

“Okay,” she whispered. She began to pull back.

The Queen smiled softly. "Yes, TAAron. What would you like to understand?"

"I can connect my mind to people. Would you let me do that? Read you, for a moment? It's not something I can do without permission, as far as I can tell."

The Queen looked at him carefully. "I give you permission, TAAron."

She felt a pressure against her mind.

Letting it in, TAAron felt truth. Honesty. Some twisted form of it, but honesty nonetheless. It felt different. Shallow. Like there was more. Something guarded.

Having had millennia to practice, she has experience with this whole connection thing. Manipulating it, that kind of thing. There's more underneath, stuff she's hiding, not showing.

The honesty she's showing, it's not about Haly. Cuz... ya know that's a complete blatant lie.

Well, one thing about his magic is that one can't really directly interact with it with their own. Also, he's fully connecting their minds, not just getting impressions. Their minds are basically one, like it was with Twain.

It is not safe for us to go, and you trust him. 

“I do trust him! But what if he needs me?”
