No Chains Shall Bind Me (The Good Doctor's Tales Folio Seven)
“Gail said, taking a plate from the drying rack, drying it and putting it away. “How’re you doing?”
Sylvie gave Gail a sidelong glance. “Really? When you’re this friendly, Gail, you want something, so why don’t you go ahead and tell me what you want,” she said. Gail didn’t answer, so Sylvie continued on as she washed the dishes. “You didn’t used to pull this trick so much, before you became a Focus.”
Gail shrugged, able to read Syl’s mind and finish her unfinished statement with a ‘...and now you’re always doing this damned trick’. She dried another plate and put it away, carefully nonchalant.
“Nor were you able to shrug off pokes and prods like I just made,” Sylvie said.
What did Van say, a few days ago? Right. ‘If something isn’t hard, it isn’t worth doing.’ She had wanted to smack him one, but after thinking about the philosophy behind his comment, she decided he might have a point. “Before I was a Focus, I didn’t need to deal with people like Bart.” Gail dried a soup bowl and put it away. Once upon a time, this sort of manipulation might have bothered her, but now? If the manipulation didn’t involve her Focus capabilities, her verbal tricks didn’t bother her at all.MoreLess
