>Could we try to 'listen in' to it? Ideally, subtly?
>If so, give it a shot
>In your Lotus guise, yes, your senses should be able to make sense of the whispering noises. In theory, at least.
>Focusing your senses even further, you proceed to, metaphorically speaking, press your ear firmly against the door to make out what the folks on the other side are saying. Even with your Lotus-enhansed senses, it's still difficult to make out anything in the way of details, though you have the impression that they are not speaking in any language you've ever heard before. At least, one of them isn't. The louder voice, presumably Hyozan, may be using a form of communication unique to his species, or perhaps it is a form of speech unique to the Blood. Either way, it's something you can't understand. The other voice, the one Hyozan is speaking with, is less distinct than that, and even less comprehensible.
>And then the line of communication seems to ripple slightly. All of a sudden you feel a rush of power and a loud noise echoes through your mind's ear. Your senses are repulsed, and violently. As though someone on the other side of the door very suddenly threw the door open, and knocked you back in the process. A powerful, booming voice fills your mind:
HUMAN.
