When Isabel turned and saw Lily, her mind just shorted out for a moment.
—Why doesn't Lily make any noise when she gets up and walks?
When exactly did she sneak up behind me? Is this the power of a Transcendent on the Path of Adaptation!?
And more importantly...
The thing I said just now... did Lily hear it?
Although from her reaction, it seemed like Lily didn't hear it... but since she got out of bed and walked over, she must have been awake for a while, right?
Then she should have heard the conversation between me and Aiwass. Yet she acted all surprised, "Oh, what are you doing here?"
—It looked totally fake!
If Lily could quietly sneak up behind me, it meant she could also hide without letting me see her.
But she didn't hide; instead, she let me see her openly... That's intentional, just giving me face.
Isabel understood this very well. Like the first time Isabel and Aiwass went to the White Ballet Shoes Club, she actually arrived early.
