  1. TAAron spoke quietly to Haly. "Are you sure you want to do this? We could just rest for a while..."
  2. He followed, still muttering to himself about the oddity of using cell phones in this situation.
  3. "How could they work across planets anyway? Must not be normal cell phones..."
  4. "No... Aren't there better magical solutions for that purpose?"
  5. "You could hurt yourself. It's fine, we can take the time."
  6. "You're smoking! Let's just ask around."
  7. "Can't we just have time together? To rest and relax?"
  8. "You don't need to say that. You can be upset, or mad, or whatever you need to be."
  9. "No, it isn't. I gave you false hope. I'm sorry."
  10. TAAron closed his eyes and concentrated. He didn't know exactly what sort of connection he was trying to make. He made the first thing that came to mind, a sort of historical bond to him that imitated a shared origin or homeland. As the offer was accepted by billions, his power shifted a bit, but it didn't spread out or leave him. He sighed, and opened his eyes. "I think I did something. But it didn't work, not how I hoped. I'm still... this." He gestured at his faintly glowing body.
  11. "Try to actually do it now. Then hopefully figure out how to let go of them for the most part."
  12. "I haven't actually tried yet. I just needed to check in with you now that I'm fine."
  13. "Yeah. I'm fine. It was just more than I expected."
  14. He still didn't seem to hear. TAAron hesitated for a moment longer before caving. Silence. He weighed the word with the strength of command, and his stomach sickened as the voices cut off. He hadn't wanted to use the link to command anyone, but it had been necessary. "Haly?" The intense glow around him faded most of the way, and his voice was back to normal.
  15. He felt it distantly. She's... afraid for me. He grimly considered his last resort. He was fairly sure that he'd be able to adjust with enough time, but the longer he was incapacitated the more likely it would be that she'd try and do something about it.
  16. He didn't react. Maybe I can... No. That's wrong.
