“What did you have in mind?” Tara asked, a friendly, curious look on her face.

“Well, clearly, you like my looks,” Nadia said with a smirk, a teasing tone in her voice. “How would you like to know what it’s like to get under my skin?”

The look on my sister’s face turned to amusement, and that worried me.

“Oh, calm down, you’re rather panicky for someone in your situation,” Nadia intoned mentally to me, but then she started to get worried. Somehow in her distraction dealing with me, she had failed to notice Tara taking her by the shoulders. For the second time that day, I found myself floating in nothingness, only this time I was joined by a very disoriented, and very unhappy Nadia.

“She! I! But… GRR!” Nadia, in her anger, was clearly having issues stringing a sentence together.

“Yeah, I can too,” Tara said, appearing next to her. “You really should have been more careful, with a nose like yours, you should have been able to tell.”

“How didn’t you know this!?” Nadia demanded, turning on me angrily.
