    Now that the threat seemed to be gone, eyes involuntarily flicked over to the tail, though it was hard to tell with how the creature's eyes were. Still, her head tilted slightly, the face turned that way, ever so slightly, as the not-elf seemed mesmerized by a fluffy cloud of fur drifting...

    "You have no use of those parts. I see." the not-elf echoed, deep in rumination. Her still bespectacled eyes seemed to turn to the spirit with a tilt of the head. "I'm not used to acknowledging the Shroud as separate from the world that I can touch... that I am blessed with dominion over, to an...

    "Ah. I understand. Worry not, to love the world is a delusion - we can only truly care for so many living beings. Breaking these chaotic things to establish your own order with their power at your side - is not a bad solution. Certainly more elegant than humans burning through the laborers of...

    Glasses twirled in the spidery fingers, the study of them taking a long moment before Krava put them on. Nothing like she'd seen, even though the elder did have visors to ease the Shroud perception. All inventions between the two of them. So many. Glanced over the shoulder, spotting these...

    She shrugged, not quite buying into the crestfallen look. Priorities. "For now, temporary will have to do. There is an immediate danger, and I am not going against the clock." But the cadence of the voice changed, more familiar to that, other, strange figure that did not look like a kindly...

    "Just what I told you we would be trying to do." For all the success he seemed to have just achieved, the man was anxious rather than curious once again. That answered that. "Fears have roots, roots are very primitive and need to be recognized. Then, an appropriate balance needs to be achieved."...

    Force of nature without true wants and needs? Solitary entity with flame all to its own? Most certainly perpetually angry, the temperament likely did not do it any favors. "And you are - different from them, in that?" Colorless eyebrows furrowed, then rose, ever so slightly. "I am no less...

    Krava watched the scenery change without attempt to affect it, drifted along the thought pathway with the meditating foxling. Unseen, once again, just a cuttlefish in the neuron streams. The tendrils relaxed, pressed together mirroring the palms. There was no idle prayer. Just a thought path...

    Correct emotion, though suppressed. Wrong attribution. Recalibrate, guide. If only the fox man knew how many maneuvers went through his neurons every split instant to maintain this dream, better still, to be present in it, to keep it consistent enough to form a pattern rather than disjointed...

    Barely a quarter of a minute passed in the outside. It seemed that thought traveled faster than grains in an hourglass. The knight was gone. Someone was kneeling beside him. Much shorter than the suit of chitin plates. An... elf? The waif's face was gaunt, angular, not a face Momo had ever...

    The chitinous knight of green plate that showed no face nor hands, not even the neck or a glimpse of the eyes, raised the hand and clasped it in a fist. Father's pride, expectations fulfilled. A start of a journey where lessons are not weight but tools. "Yes. Fear is a screeching ghost of false...

    And with him, the alien presence followed the flickers of insight, treading lightly, like a jeweler picking out just the right stone, shedding a harsh, unforgiving light onto the impurities which would become part of the pattern once it's cut. This one's been cut before, polished by age and...

    As she watched the fox man leave, she felt a tinge of contentment at the notion that he was quick on learning. Realms of disembodied Shroud were not hers, a limitation she'd paid for her particular acuity. Her kin, however... What if too much time had passed before she woke? What if the...

    The granny's mouth twitched in a brief smirk at the thud. A concussion would have added a bit to the challenge, but that wasn't the reason for amusement. Lock had been just like this when adjusting to the new body. Bumping and knocking things about with any limbs that were new. The last they'd...

    "I've seen some folk in their work for too long," the granny mused. "And if it's as simple as a rooted doubt, there are a few ways to touch on that. But the cleansing rituals from your own people didn't work, did they?" Her eyes, riddled with cataracts like little sad galaxies, turned to study...

    The old woman listened. In the pale echoes of daylight, not close enough to reach through the square cut window where her flowers bloomed - her age-yellowed face, with little sheen between the fracturing lines of wrinkles, seemed almost waxen. "So it is not your mind that needs healing, is it?"...

    "My pleasure, Momoshiro. Many come here bearing darkness inside," the woman responded peacefully, still perching against the edge of the low table. "Few know what they are asking when they say they want it gone." She nodded. "That is correct." Nothing to it. Name to a face. Means of survival...

    Dare And it sounds just like a song

    "Krava." a sharper breath denominating a chuckle. Humour or brief indignance, it didn't show on the face below the eyes and triangular cheekbones. Those twitched a little, like a quick smile. As if fixing a shirt having open a couple buttons more than intended, Krava seemed to recede, in a way...

    "No. Money gets more inane the more you think about it. A home doesn't - it's what you make and define, based on its actual worth and values." A look up and down the creature. Could it make anything? seemed like one of those ever hungry things... ah. Well, that would make sense. A whole lot of...

    The worn, chipping clay pots were peppered with flowers among the leaves, well-loved and flourishing, even though the alley was quite narrow and probably didn't get much daylight at all. Something a little odd about the flowers probably unsubstantial. Just plants. The old woman turned, hands...
