It was night, and he was left to himself. To myselves, Falk commented. Falk was at first the stronger, having had some preparation for this ordeal. It was Falk who got the first dialogue going: I have got to get some sleep, Ramarren, he said, and Ramarren received the words as if in mindspeech and without premeditation replied in kind: I’m afraid to sleep. Then he kept watch for a little while, and knew Falk’s dreams like shadows and echoes in his mind.
