The bookworm just looked up from its book and looked right at me.
As it looked at me, it pushed up its glasses as if it was taking a closer look at me.
Then after a while, it said, "Now that I've shown myself, will you turn that light down? I want to have a talk with you before anything else happens."
I was taken aback by the words that the bookworm said, but I eventually weakened the flames that were around me.
It wasn't as if I was able to keep those flames up, but this invader didn't have to know that.
So as if I was agreeing to talk, I lowered the intensity of the flames and moved some of the flames to the front so that I would still be able to see the bookworm while I talked to it.
The bookworm didn't seem to mind that I had the flame in front of it since I had lowered the intensity of the flame.
After the flame was moved between us, I looked at the bookworm and asked, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"
