Carlos nodded and smiled. “Ah, I see,” he
said. “What is it you’re reading about? Is… is it okay if I ask?”

Gently, Carlos told himself. Daisy seemed
pretty uncomfortable with talking, but Carlos hoped she would warm up to it. If
not… well, he’d go ahead and let the conversation taper off.

“Yeah, it’s… it’s about telekinesis.” He smiled weakly. “And other powers of the mind.”

Carlos was a bit surprised at that. It seemed
like a really random subject to be interested in, he thought. But a fascinating
one, none-the-less.

He smiled at Daisy, hoping to encourage her
further. “Really? How is it? Do you find it interesting?”
