Mara hid a laugh.
“How terrible.”
“The three worst days of my life.”
“Worse than being shot?”
“Too much.”
He smiled again.
Elias has approached.
“I don’t know what this is going to transform.”
Mara studied him.
“Neither do I.”
“I don’t know how to talk.”
“I noticed.”
“I like silence.”
“I noticed too.”
“The girls are not quiet.”
"No."
“You are not particularly silent either.”
Mara laughed.
“And yet you built a room for me.”
"Yes."
“Why?”
Elias looked at her for a long moment.
He then uttered the same words he had said months ago.

“Sounds less as a question.”
“It is a question.”
“A terrible one.”
“I told you I was stupid at talking.”
He's approaching.
“Then ask how he should.”
Elias seemed uncomfortable.
