"Knock, Knock"
I lifted my eyes from the control collar I was working on. It bore a spell identical to the one on Vivian's collar, and I was trying to subtly add phone functionality to it. Just like her collar had a lightning thread that would grow to target the part of her brain that was responsible for pain, I wanted to make it also grow sound and anti-sound threads that would connect to her ears and mouth, so that the collar would become a phone. I also wanted to incorporate an on/off switch so that she could choose when to use the phone functionality and when not to. The tricky part was hiding this new part of the weave so that no one would notice it, let alone realize what it was.
"What is it?" I called out.
Esmeralda stepped in.
"Vivian would like to see you in the sitting room."
