Abella raised a hand in warning, and Leeds became quiet."When you trapped us in that cave, I thought my life was over. In the process of trying to save someone, I nearly died," she said."I wish you ha--AAA!" Leeds cried out when Abella hooked her fingers into his nostrils and pulled."My wing was busted, I could barely move. I slipped in and out of consciousness from the pain." Abella relaxed her fingers a bit. Satisfied that Leeds would be quiet, she continued."Velvet and I had a brief but complicated relationship.""I'm aware." Leeds replied softly. "I could see inside her head.""That's right, you could." The house had discussed Leeds' ability to read minds.
