Unfortunately, the gnat does not reply, aside from, weakly, wiggling its legs and trying to flap its wings, though it's careful to not try to rip free, lest it damage its vulnerable wings. While the insect, itself, doesn't seem to be intelligent, he can detect a faint trace of power inside of it, and a hint of intelligence, though it's fading rapidly, now, away from the common room, and is, in all respects, very much a common gnat, which he can, once more, perceive.
