Dagomarus felt a caress in his mind and immediately knew that she was pushing at him, trying to get in without realizing what she was really doing. He pulled back from his ruminations and clamped down hard on his thoughts, shutting out everything. The effect was immediate; her head snapped back as if she had been slapped. She looked at him in shock and just a touch of fear.
"What was that?"
