"Though it does make me wonder," Thalias stated with a thoughtful expression. He cast his inspecting gaze over Dora and furrowed his brows. "How did you hear me talk when I was caught and gagged?"
"Umm, I just heard you... I don't know how to answer that question," Dora responded, voicing her confusion.
Thalias shook his head and corrected himself, "I know that you can hear and understand me as we are talking right now. What I'm referring to is my True Voice."
Dora's expression deepened in confusion and turned completely blank. Thalias let out a dry chuckle and said, "Like this."
Those words were spoken, but they did not leave his lips.
"And this isn't mana transmission," Thalias added similarly as his lips remained unmoving. "This is my True Voice, and you can hear it."
