> "Of course I did. I had to get you back. I had always intended to put her back once I found you, of course, but that's long since resolved itself."
> "It was not difficult, she slept through the whole thing."
> "Sort of? I just absorbed her. She's back now, though."
> "Of course not. I'm not so stupid as to steal from Mistress in that fashion."
> "The Young Mistress lent me some of hers for a while. Other than that, I have only taken some ambient energy."
> "I'd rather not take from other people if I can avoid it...and I don't think Lady Patchouli should be exporting resources right now anyway."
> Frown.> "Lady Patchouli was missing and you were invading. How else could I have remotely hoped to stop you?"
> "I didn't even know what I was doing at the time. I was still figuring the whole thing out. Honestly, I was hoping to absorb her to stop the chaos outright and leet her out somewhere far away later."
> "Well, I mean, she countered it this time by blowing me up, so...."
> "Um, a-anyway, if you have business here, Lady Patchouli, then I should probably leave you to it and be off..."
> "Well, uh, that works too, I suppose..."
> "Mmm...may I offer you a ride, Lady Patchouli?"
> "Certainly not if I have a passenger. After that, though, I don't know."> Get up next to Patchouli.> "Are you ready?"
Well, this game happened.
> Place a hand on Patchouli and absorb her into us.> Once this is done, gather and fold her clothes and store them in our backpack.
> "I believe she will still be able to hear you."> There you go, Lady Patchouli. This should not require any physical effort on your part now.
