“I know what it is I am saying, even if you do not. I know what sounds I am making, even if you would not. What you call speech is merely random sounds that happen to fall in a pattern you recognize. What I am calling already knew I was calling before I even took a breath. At the moment I willed to call, it answered. All else is merely the clattering of beaks and the nodding of heads.”
Ke turned away and with a derisive snort, banished me from kir fire and thus from the dream. I didn’t even know I had gone sideways until I was back. And even then, it was only after I was back did I realize I had asked kir what ke was saying. (How terribly rude of me.)
Though now I have to ask…
What the fuck was the point of pulling me there when ke knew how it was going to end?
