Ash had thought she said everything inside her head. For one scary moment, she thought Recard was reading her mind. But a more logical answer would have been that Ash had said something out loud and thought she said it mentally. She did that a lot. Even though she had a near-perfect memory, it was hard to tell which memories were dreams and which ones were real. Which things were thoughts and which things were words. Incidentally, that was part of the reason she was coming to see Recard.

She shifted uncomfortably on her feet. Technically, she could have sat down, but she didn't and it wasn't like she had been told to or anything.

"Do you know stuff about like... memories? And conscious and unconscious thoughts and how that all works?" She pointed at the side of her own head. "How it all works in the brain or whatever?" She sighed, not entirely sure she was being coherent. Had she even said the words? Or was Recard just watching her not talk? No, no. It was alright. She was sure that she could remember her mouth moving. SO assuming that they were both in reality right now, Recard had definitely heard her say something.

Maybe, Ash thought anxiously, it would have been better to go to the divination professor. But she didn't WANT to go to the divination professor. So she hoped Recard knew how minds worked. Maybe? Maybe not. Maybe she should have never came. But it was too late for that. Oops.
