After hearing what Esther had said, Arty only nodded and decided to play along. She thought to herself that they must have done something like this many times before because the way they moved and reacted almost seemed like they could read one another's minds with nothing but a glance.
That kind of silent understanding… Arty found it incredible. Surely it was forged from countless battles and times they spent together.
Having finished whispering with Arty Esther returned closer to the fire where Jan and the others still spoke with exaggerated voices.
She lowered her eyes slightly. Her lips unmoving and sent her words through the silent thread of her telepathy spell. Something that only she and the three others shared.
Arty, still new to the party, was not bound to their link.
Through that unseen bond Esther relayed everything Arty had told her.
