>"Wait. I can't speak. How do you even hear me?" it asked in confusion.
>"You used telepathy on me. I heard your voice in my head when I woke up," you said.
>"What?" asked the noivern for clarification.
>You yourself were curious how telepathy worked and wanted to know if it was a controlled or passive thing.
>"Think about a number between 1 and 10, but try not to tell me, and don't say anything in the next 30 seconds," you told the creature.
>You didn't hear anything in your mind.
>"Did you hear it?" the noivern asked after a while.
>"No," you stated.
>The Noivern seemingly could control its ability to speak through telepathy.
>Even if the Noivern didn't tell you a number, you assumed that in those 30 seconds you'd hear anything from its thought process, but you didn't.
>Say, did you speak to yourself out loud before turning? You asked.
>"Okay, now you're starting to scare me," it replied.
>"I wanted to know how this telepathy thing works. It either worked by using your ability to speak, or you were able to not think for prolonged periods of time to hide it," you said.
>"Anyway. Do you want to stay in this shed, or do you maybe want to continue our conversation inside? It is surprisingly cold for this time of year." You said.
>The creature clearly didn't know how to approach your offer.
>"I don't trust you," the Noivern replied.
>"Fair, I pointed a gun at you after all. You are completely justified in not trusting me. But if you want any help in your current situation, then I'm very much willing to help." You turned around and started going towards your house.
>Possibly it didn't have contact with the outside world like the Salazzle. And the fact it wanted to escape into the wilderness for whatever reason.
>You thought to yourself that maybe it lost control to its instincts like the Salazzle when she ran up the wall, or maybe it was a calculated move to abandon the remaining shreds of its humanity.
