[She nodded sadly. Arya was quicker than most, which really was a credit to her.]
No matter what, that part of me is acting and pretending. You saw it yourself. When I'm like that, I can pretend to be normal, but I can't ever quite do it right. I will always push for things that don't make sense. Alone time. Meet me in a place that's private without anyone around. I have a secret I need to share, things like that.
Admittedly, I do actually do that normally sometimes, but it's hard to put it into words what the difference is. Do you ever get that creepy feeling like there's something not right about a situation, but you're not sure what? If you ever get a message from me, out of the blue, that gives you that sort of tingle down your spine, don't trust it. I will remember the warning I gave you, and even if I do have something I have to relay to you, it will usually be with other people around. Even if we spend time just the two of us, I'll try to make it so that times like that are in a place that's safe.
[She considered what would happen if her body control reached Kaz's levels and shuddered. That would destroy any semblance of truth in all of this, and she knew it.]
And I want you to mark the days that I tell you that part of me came out. If we find a pattern, I want you to be aware of it. That part will know we know the pattern, and she'll try to get past it, but there's got to be limits. I hope we can find it before my powers grow too much.
