The Weird Fabric

Arthur could only take a deep breath before he decided to nod.

"Oh, that's interesting," Amera seemed to be slightly surprised despite being the one to guess all that, "but… how could you know all this?"

"Consider it luck," Arthur said.

"Why are you giving me such a cold shoulder? Huh?" Amera complained like a little kid, even pouting her lips and that made her look more beautiful.

Arthur sighed again. He knew she was too excited and curious to miss a simple and yet risky fact.

"We… aren't the only ones in this world you know," he slowly said and his tone and attitude meant his words held a deeper meaning.

And Amera's sudden widening of her eyes meant that she realized that meaning.

"I see…" she slowly said, "but inside your world we can speak freely, right?"

Arthur nodded but he didn't intend to do that now. Not until he reached the next settlement.
