"Do you get what I'm trying to tell you?" The echidna growled, demeanor darkening. "If I find out you squealed..."

"Me tell? You crazy, I know more secrets than you could imagine so don't act like I will tell." Ajal went to lie back down. "Now good night."
As Ajal closed his eyes he was pulled back into the nightmare. "Okay forget sleeping what's next?"

"Getting you a councilor." Knuckles said dryly. It was hard to tell if he was being sarcastic not.

"A what?" Ajal asked. "What is a councilor?"

"A person who you talk to about your personal issues, and then the supposedly help you get through it. I have often been accused of needing one because apparently I 'fly off the handle too easily'," The echidna explained, making quotation marks with his index and middle fingers.

Ajal pinned his ears back highly offended. "Not in my opion you are fine especially with those who I can compare you to."

"Also because I 'worry to much', 'talk to gemstones in my spare time', 'knocked out the doctor taking my blood sample'...." He paused. "...The list goes on."

"Okay that isn't that bad concidering everything." Ajal still had his ears pinned back.

...Maybe I do have issues.... Knuckles thought. "I'm sorry, what were you saying?" He asked when he realized Ajal was talking to him

"Nothing." Ajal got up and walked down toward the river.
