"If that's the case, then do you mind if I talk with Miss Veronica in peace?" Jacob impassively asked ambiguously.
He also asked through telepathy, "Is it done?"
Diminutive eyes shimmered sharply, clearly reluctant. But since things were not going according to his plan, he nodded, "Why, of course, you can speak with little Veronica as much as you want. I also have things to take care of. After all, we have to make sure to satisfy Mister Crimson's bloody needs."
However, unbeknownst to Jacob, Diminutive used another aspect of Soul Force that Jacob was still unaware of; soul telepathy, and sent a warning that directly rang in Veronica's head!
"I want to hear everything and don't say anything I wouldn't, or I don't want to use 'that.' Remember, you are nothing without me, and you are alive because of me!"
