[Taocow PBEM] Book 3 - Chapter XVII

[Kitsune]

[Alex]
Alex bites her tongue to avoid saying something that might get them 
killed. She has faced some pretty long odds however and will not 
willingly be the captive soldier.

Telepathically to Vesper, /Can you create a portal to somewhere that we 
can get out of here from./

Thinking to her Dagger, /I need you to do a see aura to see if the 
General is psychic himself./ If he is not, she is going to listen in on 
his thoughts, looking for ways to get out of here otherwise.
[/Alex]

ooc: Depending on his response, she can decide what do from here.

Had some issues as well, first with getting sick and then with having 
internet / network issues at home.
