Chapter 34: A New Title
The ongoings of the camp presented themselves to Hiro through the eyes of Tara.
He saw that the Shuvlok tribesmen were fighting against some of the new arrivals while others merely stood by, watching without intervening. Tara wasn't fighting either.
Hiro then spoke to her using telepathy, "Hey Tara. Missed me?"
Her reply was immediate. "My Looord! Where are you? The situation is serious. People are fighting!"
Hiro stopped her before she could explain further. He could already see what was happening through her eyes after all.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on over there, kind of. A serious situation isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just let me know when things get SUPER serious, okay?"
"...What is considered super serious? More importantly, are you alright, my Lord?"
Tara had been worried sick about Hiro's well-being ever since their telepathic link was abruptly cut off earlier.
"Me? I'm great! I was just... uh... performing a little experiment. Don't worry about me. As for what's SUPER-serious... Just let me know if you, your mom, Bob, or Barbara are about to die. Otherwise, don't disturb me. I'm still busy."
"Alright, my Lord."
Since Hiro claimed to be busy, Tara acknowledged his words without further questioning.
