Michael looks even more surprised than before. Maybe this is what the novels meant when they use the word shocked. Or maybe stunned. It also comes out in his voice as he says, Management can change your body and it'll only cost your eyesight or your voice. For twins, one for each. I stay silent not knowing what he wants me to say. His hand is shaking as he picks up his cup and then puts it back down again. But that's a better deal than the Tower, because that would cost your soul instead. I take a sip of my own tea.
"That does seem to fit the information I picked up from Hope and her conversation with the two men. I remember something else that was said and add. "I think that the man she called Doc may have gone to the Tower for something. He certainly seemed relieved that Hope didn't go there. and she apologized for mentioning the Tower." I frown again thinking it over. "Maybe what she was poligixing for was the way she mentioned the Tower she sounded a bit upset that he might think she'd gone to the Tower to be split apart from her sister."
We share a moment of just sitting and sipping or stirring tea before Michael asks very casually, Is that normal around here? I saw a walking, flaming scarecrow the other day and now you're telling me that two women made a deal to change their bodies.
I have to think about that one for a while. The level of liquid in my cup drops and I put it down before Reaching for a muffin. "From everyone's reactions to things like that, no. I don't think they are exactly normal for Excolo, but these sorts of things are happening more frequently. Perhaps someday it will be normal." I lean forward then and say, "I would like to hear about the walking, flaming scarecrow. Where was it walking? and why was it on fire? did anyone try to put it out?" I break off a large piece of the muffin and put it in my mouth. I really need to remember to give people time to answer my questions before I ask more of them.
