"Well, yeah," Tal mumbled. He felt the same way, but his own perception of it was much darker. "This is a prison. They treat us like it's supposed to be a privilege or something exciting for us, but all it is is captivity," he said. He spoke in an even tone, free of his usually dreariness. He wasn't lamenting their position, he was stating a fact. There was even a hard edge about his tone, filled with stoic resignation. In his mind, he was trying to show her the truth.
Maybe she was happier being delusional, but Tal saw no difference between what he'd said and what she was saying. She was just choosing to pretend like it wasn't what it was. Tal wished he could trick his own mind into doing that.
"I'm pretty sure they have every intention of trying to bond all of us. Just think, Lym..." he said. "...Once we're dragonriders, there really won't be any way to resist them again. We'll be stuck with them forever, no matter what happens. Their plan is perfect, really...there's no way for us to escape."
That made him hate them even more.
"Im sorry, Lym. Would you like me to have a look at it? I can at least get you some numbweed..."
