Are you stupid?
"Sorry, sorry!" Alissa said. "I won't do it again!"
While Ryan was healing the Elder Salamander, Alissa asked for forgiveness several times, but he just ignored her and kept working. He already knew more or less how he could strengthen the salamander, so he had to work fast.
"Please, don't ignore me," Alissa said.
"I am not ignoring you, you can read my mind, so I don't need to see or talk to you," Ryan said.
"I said that I wouldn't use it again!" Alissa said.
After a while, the salamander woke up, and Ryan felt a strange glint in the monster's eyes. There was no malice or violence. There was only a sense of familiarity. Weirdly enough, Ryan also could feel a connection between him and the monster as if their thoughts were in harmony and they could understand each other just with their eyes.
"Come on, say something," Alissa said.
"Something," Ryan said and then sat on the back of the salamander.
"Kid, you should show more respect to the person who saved your life."
