“I’m—”
“The Beast. Everyone knows who you are.”
“The Beast is the nickname they gave me. My real name is Kren.”
“Kren.”
I liked the way she rolled the name over her tongue.
I wonder what else she can roll over it?
I cleared my throat.
“Where are you from?”
“Earth. Have you heard of it?”
I shook my head. I hadn’t heard of a lot of places.
“How did you end up here?”
“I was abducted. They took me while I was asleep.”
“That doesn’t sound very fair.”
“Fair?”
“If they want to abduct you, the least they could do is do it while you’re awake. Then you’d have a chance to escape.”
Ivy snorted. Not quite a smile but I was making progress.
“I don’t think fairness was part of their plan,” she said.
“I guess you’re right.”
“How did you end up here?”
“I was brought here by my parents.”
“They’re criminals?”
“No.”
Ivy frowned.
“But this is a prison, isn’t it?”
“Just because this is a prison doesn’t mean we’re all criminals.”
“So, what were they here for?”
“For existing.”
“They didn’t do anything wrong?”
“Existing is something wrong to the shrale.”
Ivy frowned and delicate lines formed across her brow and around her eyes.
