"You want to go to the pit?" Bathi asked.
"Yes. I want you to smuggle me to the pit," Axena returned.
"Oh. Now I think I get it. Were you sent here by lady Cinten to know how the journey would go?" Bathi asked again.
"No," Axena answered and shrugged.
"Oh," Bathi exclaimed again.
"Damn me. I am so stupid. I thought I was smart and that I will be able to see for myself the light. But it seems I am as dumb aa whatever you want to name me," Bathi said and begin the walk back to his chair. He took his seat and bent close to Axena after forming his fist and placing it on the table before her.
"Yes. She didn't send me. I am here on my account and she is not aware of my presence here neither is she aware of my absence in the wall," Axena said as she lingered close to Bathi. Now they were both staring at each other from the close range.
