>She nods. "At the same time, you're seem to be expecting her to wholly give everything up, if you really didn't effort to try and meet her in somewhere in between as you told me."

>You hear Petite groan. "Fine..."
>"Let us consider this further," Patchouli continues. "Which of these symptoms is most important?"

>"If that's what she wants," says Patchouli, "who are we to tell her otherwise? But more practically, do you think she's strong enough to die for her paradigm? It's easy to say so, but quite another to do it. Your little troublemaking protege is a rather good lesson on people saying things stronger than what they mean."

>"She could,"  Patchouli agrees. "But if she's that close to death, I don't see how she'd be much of a challenge of either of us, so long as we're careful. Hmm. Out of curiosity. what shadows does she have? If she has Bhava-Agra to sustain her, it might be plausible to suggest she doesn't need the others."

>"Perhaps so, but it's a start," says Patchouli. "If the primary problem is observation, as I said, try to broker an agreement between her and the victims. Should they break it, well, she's stolen their shadows once, twice should be no problem."
