<strong>(A)</strong><em>"What, they want us to... Find a new heir?"</em>Meg looked at the hologram of the planet.<br/><em>"I don't like this planet..."</em>Whispered Zal silently, but Meg obviously heard that due to the whispers being in her head.<br/><strong>(A)</strong><em>"Or they want us to find out why the previous queen died? We are detectives now?"</em>Meg switched her attention at captain.<br/><br/><em>"That facial hair is ridiculous..."</em>Meg held back a slight chuckle on the outside, her face remained calm, but she did it in her mind at least.<br/><em>"Ask about water..."</em>Zal didn't accept the subject change from the damned water planet to damned facial hair. Water is way more important now!<br/><em>"Don't worry, Zal. Everything is going to be fine. We'll make it through. And maybe some day you'll expla..."</em>Meg didn't finish, Zal interrupted her.<br/><em>"Not now... No."</em>Zal seems to be pretty nervous. Meg felt that not only from her words and intonation, but sensing her feelings, her surface thoughts too.<br/><em>"Its ok, I'm not talking about now. Calm down."</em><br/><em>"I'm sorry, Meg... I just need a minute."</em>Zal tried to calm down. Meg felt how she suddenly stopped thinking. It almost felt like... Zal was gone. Completely. That there is only one mind in Meg's head now, only her's... That felt terrifying after all these years of sharing. But as soon as Meg's heart started beating faster due to this unpleasant emptiness, Zal was back.<br/><em>"Why is your heart beating like crazy?"</em>She asked. Meg could basically feel how Zal's hand touches her cheek. What is that, "sensory hallucinations", produced by the mind? After all, all human senses are actually processed by the brain. And since their minds are in a bond... But this never happened before! So weird...<br/><em>"Please don't do that anymore. We need a better way of calming down. Without hiding from each other like you just did."</em>Due to this unpleasant moment, Meg kind of lost attention to what the captain was answering. But as soon as Zal was back, she switched her attention back at him. They both did, actually.<br/><em>"Let's... Discuss it later. The captain is speaking after all."</em>
