"What are you?" Rruyshah asked. It was significantly smaller than her.
>Did you just say something?>
"Yes, of course I just said something!"
>Do. You. Speak…of course you don't. Can you understand me?>
"Yes, can't you understand me?"
>Oh, forget it.> It pushed a button on a white object almost as big as it was. Thin white lines connected it to what appeared to be its head, and another thin white line protruded from its other end. Like the object, it was almost entirely white.
Enraged, Rruyshah pounded on the door of the cargo bay she was enclosed in. No being deserved a 1-way communication line with an Exalted of the Kelbrid!
She pounded and pounded and pounded and pounded until Na got sufficiently annoyed to respond. "What do you want?"
"Can this…being…understand you?" Rruyshah indicated the white creature.
"Of course I can," it smirked.
Rruyshah had dealt with Skrit Na before. To the creature she said, "He can't understand you, can he?"
It didn't give any indication of hearing, so she yelled. "CAN HE UNDERSTAND YOU?...wait…you can't understand me…"
But it didn't show that it even knew she had spoken. Na, however, had an idea as to what was going on. He delicately grasped the white lines connecting the creature to the object and jerked them.
>Hey. Okay. That was uncalled for. Kidnapping me, fine, but you do not mess with the iPod.>
Rruyshah and Na looked at each other helplessly. "IPod?"
