"Flute?” Jenson spat out.
Baby Robbie nodded.
Jenson exclaimed, "What a ferocious hypnotist! She made me sleep for six hours straight and lose a part of my memories. If she had hypnotized me into murder o r arson in those six hours, I'm afraid I wouldn’t have been able to control myself."
Baby Robbie said, "You're quite right. Once you left the Mammoth Courtyard last night, you merely walked toward the direction of our rental place like a puppet. While we were halfway back, a python appeared out of nowhere and attacked you. I threw this seal out in a moment of desperation and that's how I managed to save your life."
Baby Robbie explained the full details of what had happened last night to Jenson again.
When Jenson heard this, he was utterly petrified.
"Madam Nephele is indeed sly."
Baby Robbie played with his seal admiringly and said, "Before this, I always thought that it was bulky and a hindrance. I didn't expect that it could save our lives last night. I'll have to remember to wrap it up and perhaps give it a nice bath."
Jenson added, "Give it a kiss for me as well."
After making some jokes, Baby Robbie placed the seal back into his pocket and sternly said, "What do we do next, Jens?"
Jenson pondered for a while and said, "Madam Nephele seems to be an expert in advanced hypnotism on humans, and she's even able to command a python. These skills seem to be a kind of witchcraft that has died out."
Baby Robbie said, "Is there a method to break through i t?"
Jenson said, "Yes. But I don’t know how."
Baby Robbie drooped his head and said listlessly, "If w e can't crack her hypnotism, we'll merely end up too passive to fight against her."
