(Kid, Can you hear me?)
The voice of an old man echoed inside Fred's head, making him surprised.
But Fred recovered a second later. He questioned the whale, who suddenly just barged inside his head.
(What is it and why are you suddenly talking to me?)
Fred replied by trying to convey his thoughts somehow through the voice of the whale.
(You can hear me! That's good, that's good.)
The whale sounded genuinely happy that he was able to converse with Fred at this moment.
Then it continues, (Kid, I have something very serious to ask of you, I hope that you will not decline it.)
Fred did not immediately agree, he doesn't even know what's the request is, why will he decide,
(We will see, I wanna hear what you want to ask from me first.)
A sigh was transmitted inside Fred's head.
It seems like the whale is hoping that Fred will agree to him right at that moment.
