>Step inside and close the door behind us

[Kilgamayan]

>Give Parsee an apologetic look right before we enter.

[Hello Purvis]

>Give Parsee an apologetic look right before we enter.

>You try to give Parsee an apologetic look. She shrugs.

>Step inside and close the door behind us

>You step inside. The house is a modest little place, you note a chest of drawers right by the door. A few sheets had been hung up to make little rooms, but Tenshi seems to have torn them down.
>"So...you're still you, right?" asks Tenshi, eying you from the middle of the room.

[DracoOmega]

>"I'm still me. Battered, bruised, and exhausted, but still me."
>Approach her. Let ourselves smile a little. It's good to see her again, after all this...
>"Oh, Tenshi... I'm so glad you're alright. The whole time I was gone, I... I thought you'd been lost, like the others."
>If she doesn't seem too uncomfortable or defensive, grab her in a hug before she has time to protest

[Kilgamayan]

> Has Tenshi ever heard us sing?

>"Well that's good," she says. "And yeah, I was worri-"
>She seems more exhausted than anything. Hug her.
>"-Gaak! Stop that, geez! You're gonna start rumors!"

> Has Tenshi ever heard us sing?

>Almost certainly. Today aside, it is a common thing in Bhava-Agra.

[Kilgamayan]

> Please ignore previous post, mind was changed.

[Kilgamayan]

> Lower voice a bit and smile.
> "Who cares what they say, right?"

> Do we know what her favorite song is?
> If we do, do we know how to sing it?

[Hello Purvis]

> Lower voice a bit and smile.
> "Who cares what they say, right?"

> Do we know what her favorite song is?
> If we do, do we know how to sing it?

>"Well no one," says Tenshi, "But it's still a pain to hear it!"
>You do not.

[DracoOmega]

>"Oh, let them speak, if they must. I'm just glad to see you again. I really, truly am. You know what kind of hell this day has been better than most. I clawed my way out of Makai to get back to you. I haven't even stopped a moment."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, let them speak, if they must. I'm just glad to see you again. I really, truly am. You know what kind of hell this day has been better than most. I clawed my way out of Makai to get back to you. I haven't even stopped a moment."

>"Wait, she sent you to Makai?" Tenshi says.

[Kilgamayan]

>  "I wish. She sent me to some weird and desolate shadow void. I somehow managed to get out of it and I ended up in Makai. Still have no clue how any of that worked."

[Hello Purvis]

>  "I wish. She sent me to some weird and desolate shadow void. I somehow managed to get out of it and I ended up in Makai. Still have no clue how any of that worked."

>"Oh," she says. "Well, uh...I tried to help afterward."

[Kilgamayan]

> Squeeze just a smidge tighter.
> "So I hear. I am very grateful to you for doing so."

[Hello Purvis]

> Squeeze just a smidge tighter.
> "So I hear. I am very grateful to you for doing so."

>You squeeze a smidge tighter. She stiffens a little in response. "Good," she says. "Because these idiots sure don't care!"

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"I can only imagine how frustrating it must be, after all that's happened today. I will say now that I do not intend to let them take the sword away from you."

[Kilgamayan]

> She isn't making any effort to hug back, is she?

[Hello Purvis]

>"I can only imagine how frustrating it must be, after all that's happened today. I will say now that I do not intend to let them take the sword away from you."

>"Well, good," says Tenshi, "I'll take 'em all down before they can have it!"

> She isn't making any effort to hug back, is she?

>Not really.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I don't think it will come to that."
> "How are you holding up, anyway?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I don't think it will come to that."
> "How are you holding up, anyway?"

>"Better not," says Tenshi.
>"Um...okay, I guess. I think I got away from her."

>_

[DracoOmega]

>"What did it look like happened, from your perspective?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Does The Dragon know where we are at any given time?
> Would The Dragon have known that we were in the shadow void?
> Would The Dragon appreciate a status report of some kind, or would it probably already know everything important that has happened?

[Hello Purvis]

>"What did it look like happened, from your perspective?"

>"Kinda like you fell in," says Tenshi, "While getting all hazy and see-through. It only took like a second."

> Does The Dragon know where we are at any given time?
> Would The Dragon have known that we were in the shadow void?
> Would The Dragon appreciate a status report of some kind, or would it probably already know everything important that has happened?

>Assuming it wants to, you believe it should be able to find you at in given place in Bhava-Agra or the mortal realms.
>You have no idea.
>You suspect it would, but given it has yet to beckon you, it's clearly not a priority.

> "Was this with the giant shadow, or just a normal-sized one shaped like her?"
> "What did she do after that?"

[DracoOmega]

>"From my perspective, it just looked like everything was getting dark around me, and then when it went black I was elsewhere. I thought you'd gotten sucked in, too, but I couldn't find you anywhere inside."
>"Did the spectre do anything else afterwards, that you could see? For that matter, did you even see her doing anything, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Did the spectre do anything else afterwards, that you could see? For that matter, did you even see her doing anything, then?"

>"I think she was just concentrating on it," says Tenshi. "Then I kinda ran, while she tried to get free."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Did she use the giant shadow, or just a normal-sized one shaped like her?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Did she use the giant shadow, or just a normal-sized one shaped like her?"

>"Just that big one, if you're asking about the one that sucked you in," Tenshi says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Strange. Well, it's a very good thing she left you alone, then. Did her shadow stay as the big one as she tried to get free?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Strange. Well, it's a very good thing she left you alone, then. Did her shadow stay as the big one as she tried to get free?"

>"Maybe, I dunno," says Tenshi with an exaggerated shrug. "I was trying to get out of there before I was next."
