The girl kept her mouth open and stared at the boys. She had no idea how to react. Talindra raised her hand and the girl gulped.
"Get back in your room," Talindra said calmly.
"Um… yes, ma'am," said the girl and immediately went in. That was odd for all the boys. Why did the girl call Talindra, ma'am? Just one word from her and she ran away. Another door opened and when they saw Talindra they just asked, "are you okay?"
"Yes, just go in. Everything is fine," replied Talindra. The girls nodded and went inside. No one asked her anything else. Who was she who commanded such respect?
"Why do they listen to you? Who are you?" asked Paarth.
