“Who'll
want to get to me?” Robert asks. “What does it mean to be a wake
walker? Where are you?”
“I'm
right in front of you,” Tom replies.
“There's
nothing there,” Robert says to the air in front of him.
“Do
you see the sparkles?”
Robert
looks closely, realising that there are motes of glinting dust
hanging in the air. “Yes,” he says, “I see that.”
“As
I said,” Tom replies, “I take a little time to coalesce.”
“What
does that mean, how does a person coalesce?”
“You
shouldn't assume I'm a person. As to your other question, all of the
Fears will want you neutralised, you're just too powerful.”
