"I like to speak my thoughts aloud."

THE ONE IS ALL AND THE ALL ARE ONE

"The echo silences the voice."

THE ONE IS ALL AND THE ALL ARE ONE

"The voice tells me not to do it"

THE ONE IS ALL AND THE ALL ARE ONE

"I do it more."

THE ONE IS ALL AND THE ALL ARE ONE[

"The voice gets quieter,"

THE ONE IS ALL AND THE ALL ARE ONE

"and quieter,"

the one is all and the all are one

"and quieter."

the one is all and the all are one

"It stopped eventually,"

...

"but I never stopped speaking."

...

"It makes me happy."

...

"It's the only thing keeping the voice away."

...

"When I stop,"

the one is all and the all are one

"the voice comes back."

we are all and the all are we

we are all and the all are we

WE ARE ALL AND THE ALL ARE WE

"Hello Moth, I appreciate the welcoming party."

"Well Marble, I need to make sure you're not here on either that hag's or my dearest mother's orders, surely you understand that."

"I allign with no consciousnesses."

"Yet you persist in not letting me see your thoughts, how can I let you continue without confirmation of your neutrality?"

"I did let you sense me, that wasn't enough time for confirmation?"

"All I know is that you're here for Grav, you cut me off before I could discern why."

"I'm just a concerned sister who wanted to make sure he didn't leave one prison for another."

"Well then, you should know that after the initial contact I kept him out of my hive's system. He's not here because I forced him too."

"If that's true then why don't you let him out of your range?"

"Excuse me?"

"I've been watching your little hive for a while now, especially my brother. While he does roam more than your other servants he never, ever, leaves the range of your hivemind so forgive me if I don't take your words at face value either consciousness."

"B-but how...? W-when did you...? They arn't servants!"

"I think it's been made clear how I escape busybody consciousnesses, but you still haven't answered me, why can't my brother leave?"

"I don't need to tell you that. Leave, before I make you."

"Can you really afford to cause a scene here, so close to your hideout? I know you've been having trouble keeping the locals happy, just how long do you think they'll let you stay when you're caught violently chasing away a dragon who just wants to see her brother? Especially when that dragon spills the beans about your true nature?"

"You would blackmail me?"

"Happily."

...

"Your brother can't leave because doing so risks him drowning under a new consciousness. I have to stay online to block all the other signals. But I swear, that's the only thing I do."

"Does he know this?"

"Yes, and he would leave the moment I did anything more."

"I want to talk to him myself."

"I'll tell Adour to bring hi-"

"And I want to stay here with him."

"NO! Out of the question!"

"Frankly, you have no choice in the matter. Don't worry as long as you leave us alone i'll stay out of your local politics. Deal?"

"Mrgrgr... fine, deal. Just don't cross me either, there are too many other lives at stake. If I have any reason to think you've betrayed us..."

"I assure you I don't have the interest."

"Keep it that way."

A short time later...

"Marble is that you?"

"Yes Grav it's me."

"I'm so glad to see you!"

"So am I Grav, so am I."
