>"Oh really? This'll look nice by the bed, I think. Maybe in th kitchen... hmmmm..." She contemplates it, while you continue to speak, then looks back to you and says. "It sounds like something happened."
>The waitress, who you think is also the chef, appears and gives Parsee a menu.

>After the waitress is out of earshot:
>"Well, you know that charm I was wearing the other day? Turns out it's not just a piece of paper. I took it off when I was getting cleaned up, this morning, and as soon as I did, the spirit materialized next to me. I think it must have been keeping her suppressed, or something."
>"I can actually sort of communicate with it now, vaguely. I mean, I can sense a general impression of what it's thinking, and it seems to be able to do the same thing to me. It's pretty vague, sometimes, but... well, I'm sure that it means well, now."
>"It's really shy, though. Tends to pop out when I'm alone, and vanish whenever anyone else is around, although Orin did get a glance at it this morning. I... kinda hope that doesn't happen at a bad time."
>"I went back to its home in the forest this morning, but I think it wants to stay with me. I... get the sense that it also feels like something is wrong with the world, too. But it's hard to really tell what it's thinking, sometimes. It seems very confused by most of the city. I guess it's never really left the forest. I wonder how old it is...?"
>"Anyway, I think we're in this together, now. For better or worse."

>"So that piece paper actually did something? Huh..."
>"Well, that's good to hear. I suppose there's worse things than having a peaceful ghost following you around."
>"...It's here right now, isn't it?"
>"Wait, are you saying it thinks the same way you do? Like, the same kind of instinct you told me about before? And, I suppose if it's not used to people, it'd be weirded out by them too."
>"You never did tell me if it's here, right now."

Seian Verian:
> "Um, yes, it is here right now... As for how it thinks, I'm not really sure. It's close enough that I can at least make some sort of sense of the emotions that it seems to project. And it does seem to understand me to at least some small degree when I try to communicate with it..."
