"Sort of..I'm not sure if they can read our minds or not.." Jae paused. Can you hear me? Scout..nod yes for yes and do nothing for no..can you hear me.. She thought, deciding to test it. The scout narrowed his eyes for a minute or two before nodding slowly. Jae shuddered, feeling as if she'd been plunged in icy cold water. "Yeah, he c-can if you look him straight in the eyes and concentrate.." She broke off as a voice entered her head, she was still looking him in the eyes.
'Parents-locked-scout-sent-escapee-lost girl-help girl.' said the voice and the same feeling came over her.
"H-he can r-reply..but it's not really good English." She continued to look him straight in the eyes, although his were almost closed. I am safe, not lost.
