When I think about it… what exactly am I when I go back in time to be beside little Jevan? Obviously, I'm not a ghost in the traditional sense, am I? I'll assume that, technically speaking, I'm some kind of spirit… but even in my normal form, what exactly am I?
I shook my head and turned toward Valeric, who was sitting lazily on the couch, leaning back. I said,
"How did that boy get the Authority of the Spirit Whisperer?"
His expression tensed, but he quickly forced a fake smile and said,
"Isn't the weather lovely today?"
"A very poor attempt to change the subject, you know?"
He exhaled shortly,
"I don't know."
"A very obvious lie. You should've said that before trying to dodge the question in such a stupid way."
"Can't you change the question?"
"The way you said that makes me even more curious to know the truth."
"And what exactly do you gain from knowing it?"
I pointed a finger at him and said,
"Would you stop dodging and just answer?"
