"That he did," Naelan said.

Indo asked, *so what spirit life like?*

"I've never really thought about it. It's...detached. Almost unfeeling by comparison. I've never actually been bound to anything before."

Indo winced. *whats being bound like?*

"It's nice. I can feel things, such as the roughness of the floor. Things I've never felt before..." Naelan trailed off, lost in thougt.

*were you alive before being spirit?*

"A spirit isn't a dead being. We are alive...in a way. we sense, we feel, we think. We aren't the dead souls of people or animals."

*how did you... um... die?*

(Inheritance Cycle spirits)
"Weren't you listening? I'm not dead! I never was dead! I never died!" Naelan said sharply, her eyes flashing, "And for your information, I could easily bind to you and control you. You're no mage. You couldn't stop me!"

Indos spines began glowing, but he calmed down and raised his heads. *i sorry! I just... when think do spirits, think of dead. Ghosts. Brother.* he closed his eyes and sighed. *i sorry. I dont want hurt you. And...* he stopped and broke off.

Black and White backed up. Indo was serious about anything when he mentioned his brother.
