I was dumbfounded, but I stood there turning everything over in my head. This woman simply meant to say that I was in her mind. But she had also called it Spirit Illusion earlier, so she couldn't have meant her mind in the literal sense.
I didn't respond immediately. I stayed still, let my thoughts settle, and after I had worked through enough of it, I brought my hands to my front and smiled politely. All my earlier caution and wariness dissolved like they were never there.
That was a skill too. An underrated one.
"Forgive my intrusion, my lady. Actually, it was Colonel Atlas, you see. He went about boasting about how he had a personal relationship with you and said he was going to bring me to the Night Auction to show me." I scoffed. "Goodness gracious, what a shameless man, really."
She did not say anything immediately but stared at me with a blank gaze, one that made it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
"Atlas… uhh."
I nodded sharply.
