Just another morning;; Social.

The wind user had a morning routine that easily able to be predicted these days, this had started after she formally adopted a Kitsune she had found in the woods around Rose Garden as her legal charge. When the light crept onto her restless form she would instantly set about dressing in her skimpy manner and then move towards leaving her room a wreck and floating to wake up Makoto to start her day. In oppose to the grown wind mage? The little kitsunes room was very well kept, she had a larger space and it looked like she was on a better path the one raising her. of course, Jiyu also knew nothing about Kitsunes, never even having any as acquaintances until recently when she met a very interesting one. At least, she had someone to call if she began to have numerous issues with her young ward. Honestly, it was shocking someone who was clearly canine in the term of being a dog was able to raise some fox because the two species were rumored to not get along too well.

Of course, this morning the female had already sent Makoto off to another wizard in town, for extra studies. Although the ulterior motive was needing some time to her own that wasn't spent taking care of the kid or going out on missions. After-all, it wasn't like Jiyu was too old herself, and she had lots on her mind as of recent. "Damn it the kitchen is already flamed up." she couldn't go in there to get herself some food now, due to her fear of fire. "Guess I'll have to order something," she grumbled, glancing around for somewhere in the crowded Inn to sit so she could order food and eat breakfast today. "Do we have a special going today?" the undergarment clad mage grumbled as she floated around the Cafe unable to find anywhere someone was not already sitting. Would she have to ask someone to sit with them, one of her guild-mates, or would someone be nice enough to just invite her to sit with them?

Times proved trying for the seemingly young looking girl known to most as simply “Shade.” If someone (or multiple someone’s) weren’t trying to toss souls into her realm for whatever reason then it appeared they were actively prying around in her small forests. Normally little could escape them unscathed, usually sacrificing a few or many years for time spent in them and yet she held the curious notion that someone traipsed through them unfazed. When some places simply “blipped out of existence” it caused some destabilization and she’d been forced into multiple trips between to try and repair. At least they felt like little trips, though the girl often forgot that the flow of time between “Paradise” and the mortal realm remained out-of-sync. Hours in Paradise could be days in Fiore’s time.

It became such a hassle she’d given up any desire to bother disguising her animalistic half, letting false human ears fade in favor of her pointed feline ones, and the forked short haired tail extend from her backside. Between simple forgetfulness and the sheer comfort that so much of Black Rose hardly proved human…Shade opted to relish in this small bit of relief.

For whatever (blessed) reason though the happenings ceased and the girl found herself finally able to enjoy time amidst the less obedient (and therefore more entertaining) living compared to the warped souls of her denizens. Well, not that she ever really gave up their company. Even in the currently crowded dining room she managed to retain a decent sized round table capable of seating a small party and yet before each seat a plush rump sat on the table with its own cup of tea and a biscuit laid out for her little “party.”

Except for CM who appeared happy enough to mush his rotund moose snout against a plate’s edge as if trying to eat the porcelain itself. Given the black moose’s penchant for panicking Shade felt more than happy to let him do as he pleased, glad he wasn’t breaking anything and even happier she needn’t repair Paradise again.

Perhaps it was this same feeling that led to the uncharacteristic moment of magnanimity as she spied someone wandering around attempting to find a seat. Given some of the larger guild mates in the area it could’ve been easy for her table to go unnoticed so she stood and waved the other woman over, ”If you’re looking for a seat you’re welcome to sit with me!” The smile she’d offered the wandering scantily clad woman turned into a childish frown as she shooed at a pair of rabbits on the table, ”Desa, Haigha: you two share a spot! You’re already stealing each other’s scones and biscuits off each other’s plates anyhow!” Even if petulantly the plush bunnies with their impossibly thick ears moved aside to leave a spot open, scooting one of the small plates with the mildly paw-like ear. ”Feel free to help yourself to any of the snacks, might be a moment before a waitress comes. And if one of them-” she motioned amongst the stuffed animals: the chocolate and vanilla bunny twins, a pitch black moose, and a rather haughty looking white feline with dark purple tipped limbs, ”-tries to take your food feel free to swat them as hard as you like. Fixing stitches and restuffing’s easy: teaching manners on the other hand can be a bit of a trial.”

tough times were something the wind user was no stranger to, given she ran away from home before she was even ten years old. Sadly? That was the only beginning of her troubles, but since it wasn't relative right now she wasn't even thinking back on all the things in her past. Kazehime introduced herself eagerly for one very good reason, Jiyu was not actually her name, just what she called herself after fleeing off into the world. Of course, Astrid knew who she really was, but the Golden Pheonix Guild Master had seemed in no hurry to spill her secret to the whole world. Indeed the canine's bigger issue would be if Asty's brother Lu-Lu found out who she was, and she kept going to him in this form as if the pyshco would never figure out it was her. Jiyu couldn't resist playing with fire just the same as she feared it.

Hearing the words of a guildmate she slightly subtly recognized she floated over, the levitation making some patrons believe her a spirit. Of course, maybe they were not so wrong, for everything she had read of her species, being an Inugami meant she had died sometime, which was why she kept calling herself a canine demon even though she was not. "Thanks." the wind pulled her hair back slightly, keeping it from in front of her face, fanning the strands out behind her like a halo as one of her toes touched the chair open to her, the element she controlled slowly lowering the barely clothed woman to a sitting position as if it controlled her body more than she did.

Listening to Shade she glanced at the stuffed animals, smiling and giving them a small wave of her hand in greeting. "You are good at this, it's kinda envious, I don't think I'm the best at domestic things like sewing, so these are impressive to me." of course the wind user had never tried, she ran away from home before anyone would even give her the needle to try, and in all her years on the run, the chance had never presented itself. "And it's no problem, my manner's are not the best either, but I was a ship brat for years so if I had manner's I wouldn't have been eating." when one was eating around sailors? They had to eat quick, especially when they were trading labor for passage and food like she used to. "I'll enjoy a few, but sadly my diet is a bit too specialized for me to eat many sweets." it really sucked though, because she really did have quiet the sweet tooth, as clear by her going for the sweetest thing on the table.

Readily the woman accepted the offer, gliding into the seat as if a specter or some godly being, though a trick Shade vaguely recalled from some day in the past…the white haired girl somewhat recalled the woman serving plates at the time. Whether she was off duty or waitressing had been merely a passing fancy Shade opted not to question, more pleased at the grace of the move than anything. The compliment only served to brighten her smile, ”Thank you! A fancy that managed to never pass, though the first batch could hardly compare.” How long had it been since she’d cast away those horribly misshapen things? Too long since the summoner could hardly recall if she’d tossed them at some children or beaned a few particularly annoying people with them.

”Something to tide you over then at least until you can place a proper order. You’re welcome to some tea as well and I’ll leave you to the sugar and honey,” she offered, sliding an unused cup towards the girl shortly followed by the sweet additives if she didn’t take it straight. A thought struck her though, intrigued by the mention previous to the diet and she lightly clapped her hands, ”And perhaps in thanks you can share some tidbits from your time on the seas? I’ve hardly spent much time on a boat, much less with pirates! Were they pirates? If not it’s fine, I promise not to be too disappointed.” Despite her many forays into the mortal realm it never crossed Shade’s mind to spend time on a ship…then again her patience did as it pleased much like any feline.

Briefly the fat moose plush considered Jiyu’s plate of food, as if weighing whether or not he wanted one himself before returning to try and munch the flower design of the plate, despite a complete and utter lack of an unstitched mouth. On her other side the pair of rabbits giggled over something they’d mumbled in an archaic language to one another, sparing only the briefest of glances at their new tablemate before devolving into another bout of hushed giggles. Shade acknowledged none of the three, offering the thin, white feline plush a few head scritches as though it were a real cat before taking a sip of her tea.

Between specter and godly being? One could not be sure which was correct, because certainly within Solace she was a godly being the realm existed only because she did. However, if that made her some godly entity in earthland? Jiyu was not sure, the mage was lost and didn't know if she was some ghost reassembling her body repeatedly, or some deity deciding to partake in normal daily activities instead of lord over her world with any degree of attention. Seriously, she rarely went to Solace unless she was dealt some sort of fatal wound and required time to regenerate from the damage it had caused her. In terms of the thing about if the mage was also a waitress at the inn or not? Jiyu did indeed oftentimes serve as a bartender or waitress, especially in her lower ranking days, but sometimes as time had progressed she didn't do it allot anymore as she needed the opportunity to rest up after missions.

"Well, I'm glad it didn't pass, they are adorable, I'd love to see more if you have them." the female chuckled slightly, glancing once more at the entertaining dolls. Considering they were moving? She figured they must be possessed, which brought a frown to her face when she remembered her failed possession attempts. "They do ever so make the art of possession look easy." yet she could barely get out of her own body, it really sucked as she would love to play around some with her possession ability. "Sugar isn't the best for me, a simple rule of thumb is that if a canine cannot eat it, neither can this body." it was another reason she wanted to try possessing someone, she could potentially get to eat some things she had never been able to consume before due to them being poisonous to her. Like chocolate, Jiyu did everso wonder what the substance was like, but it was deadly to her so she'd never had it.

When Shade began asking about her time at sea, the years she had spent there? Kazehime chuckled lightly, nodding slowly. "Oh, there are so many stories. Sometimes indeed I was with pirates, though other times it would be simple fisherman or shipping boats. However, the best ships were always the cruise one's, considering my age at the time they always gave me a room and unlimited food access." Yet she rarely managed to get on cruise ships as they could get in serious legal trouble, their entire business could be lost if they were found harboring someone like her, helping a runaway instead of turning her in. "I managed to find nice groups pretty much all the time, I had a lucky run." she smiled fondly remembering all the time she had spent at sea, part of her having grown to miss that experience.

As her snack partner broadly described her time on the seas Shade pondered her earlier remark. Was possession…supposed to be hard? To think about it the girl wondered on the action, eyes momentarily slipping to the pair of rabbits as they scuffled atop the table over the “last cookie” – albeit only the last one on their plate, but last in some sense at least – and considered it further. Forcing her denizens to inhabit the plush bodies required at least a little effort in hindsight, requiring at least some loose bonds to the thing in order to inhabit the mortal realm with no effort. In this way they could accompany her without being a drain upon her magic resources, limited as they were in realms outside her own.

Yet perhaps in the sheer whimsy of the idea of their host bodies she hadn’t noticed any effort in bonding them to the soft forms? Or maybe there existed some synergy between the souls woven together from broken, embittered, or enraged spirits and the cobbled together stuffed bodies? ’Or desperation perhaps,’ she mentally tacked on, curiosity temporarily unmasking her usual denial to the plight of those who ended up in “Paradise.”

Taking a sip of tea she felt refreshed, again stuffing any concerns for the deceased away as she smiled at Jiyu, ”Truly lucky! I know such things don’t turn out well for all…perhaps we should get you to play cards at some point?” A small laugh escaped at the meager jest as she set the tea cup back in its saucer, mentally searching for some of her…less inhabited works. ”I’ve never thought of possession as particularly hard though, I won’t lie…well, I guess deciding who should go to what can be tricky at times…” Tapping a finger in thought, Shade located a small collection within her usual room in that desolate plane and soon a small variety of floppy plushes poofed on the table. A white unicorn with red spots littering its rump came first, shortly followed by a black and brown griffon missing a wing that distracted her for a second. Giggles from two certain rabbits caused the girl’s cheeks to puff in annoyance before she swatted the duet, the pair poofing before they could full smack into a guild mate’s back, causing her to miss the way the white cat toy’s stitched mouth seemed to curve for a second.

Soon a few more manifested though, a red serpentile dragon with a glittery fin along its back, a silvery saber toothed canine with an impressive mane and bushy tail, and finally what Shade deemed a “water dragon of some sort.” ”Well, I’m pretty sure I saw it in a book somewhere…but the photo wasn’t really that good and I’ve never seen one myself.” The summoner played with the elongated neck of the black, beady-eyed beast, the thing lacking a mouth in lieu of a rounded snout and look of quiet innocence. Staring at the once midnight blue fabric she noted the lighter patches, the thing perhaps losing some of its luster to elongated stretches in water or perhaps basking in one of the few patches of light in her dark realm. Apparently the poor thing lost one of its front fins at one point, though why Shade opted to replace it with a new one made of red and black plaid the seamstress wouldn’t be able to properly answer. ”I think it was a slightly earlier project…though…after I’d gotten in some practice at least. I can’t even recall who ate its foot anymore…” playing with the offset foot she giggled lightly.

Lots of things in life were supposed to be hard, but possession was not always one of those thing's that came to mind when someone considered that. When she first realized her state made her capable of the ability? Jiyu had certainly not expected it to be as difficult as it currently was. Sometimes unexpected thing's happened to be the truth, and possession being a difficult task for some people was one of them. However, the fact Kazehime had no one to show her nor had been born as something naturally capable of it but instead transformed during life may also explain her difficult time.

Kazehime chuckled at the mention of getting her to play cards sometime "I don't quite have the luck I used to, and sadly the sorts who tend to play card games I'd show skill in are unsavory sorts. Most Times." Plus she was almost always working, going on missions that did not give her the time to pick up any new sort of hobby like card playing. Thus it was unlikely they'd get the female to play cards anytime soon, but if she played maybe her habit of causing bad thing's to happen as an Inugami would make her victorious. "I've been trying to use mine for months now." a frown marred her face again as she chewed on a piece of meat that had been brought to her by some waitress, though she had already made half of it vanish. "I haven't been able to take over anyone else, and honestly the attempts have almost become fatal for me a few times." at least it felt like she was about to die, heck it was the reason she stopped most times, she could feel her heart clench head towards stopping, her connection with the wind loosen for a split second and she couldn't make herself keep going.

Kazehime looked impressed with the dolls Shade had made, the ones she was suddenly summoning into this realm, smiling at the toys. The woman smiled at the stuffed being's, realizing they were thing's she had never really had, growing up in a village her family hadn't really possessed the money to buy tons of toys and when she ran away she certainly couldn't afford to hold something like that as she ran around. "You must really like them, even going through the trouble of fixing them like this." her clawed hand reached out, so one finger could attempt to touch the 'water dragon' thing that Shade was currently holding, the plaid fin on it, but she'd only touch with the tip of her longest finger.

What was she doing with her life? She didn't read, she didn't play with toy's, she couldn't eat lots of different thing's, she couldn't sew nor cook, she was unable to light a candle. Jiyu's face marred into a frown when she briefly once more realized how much of the world she had missed out on.

Well if Black Rose ever hosted a casino night maybe Jiyu would have a chance to attempt a few rounds of various card games, Shade briefly wondering if maybe they’d even done so already during one of her longer forays into her realm.

Listening to the canine woman muse on her previous attempts Shade pondered the differences. Wherein Jiyu herself wanted to possess things it really wasn’t the Paradise wielder’s way to place herself into the dolls…well…’I suppose I do technically put a little bit of myself into each and every one of them…so not wholly accurate.’ Perhaps commanding one’s self to enter another vessel wasn’t completely dissimilar to attempting to convince one’s soul to temporarily take over something else? Though maintaining even a sliver of connection to one’s body was probably the trickier part when trying to cast one’s personal soul about rather than another being’s.

’Hmm…probably a way though. It’s not as if I stuff the denizen’s bodies into these puppets.’

A soft smile formed, ”When they’re the only friends you have, you have to take care of them…you know?” It sounded oddly sentimental to her ears, and yet felt too true to try and cover up or deny. Until she’d met Magna the little critters and her guardians stood as her primary source of company. If she even tired of their presence then sometimes it was nice to simply curl up with one of the empty vessels. ”I don’t really have much else besides them.”

Staring at the mismatched water dragon…thing Shade frowned ever so slightly, ”You mentioned trying to take over someone, but have you ever tried to take over something?” What if her soul tried too much to latch onto another living host and thus tried to toss its connection to her current body aside? Or it wanted another living vessel for whatever reason? Be it an unknown desire or some other phenomenon Shade couldn’t rightly say…but with an object the soul might face less confusion. Considering the denizen’s primary bodies were crafted from flesh and their spirits resided in the fluff-filled bodies in down time…well, it felt like a theory worth checking out.

Jiyu kept thinking on card games for a few seconds, recalling how even without her Inugami abilities as a child she had been unfair to play against. When someone saw a bad card or a good card their breathing and heart beat changed in a very exact way. Even if someone mastered their face and all signs normal humans could see? Kazehime had never relied on her sight, they couldn't hide their tells from her because she wasn't looking for one's most players even knew existed, heck most of her old playing partners eventually came to the conclusion she was cheating somehow. Though, not being human may just be cheating, she did take many people for a lot of money, it was one of the ways she had supported herself when she was a runaway.

Most would find Shades comment of the dolls being her only friend's to be extremely sad, but two figures popped into Jiyu's head swiftly and she nodded slightly. "I understand that." She had done what she could to take care of her friends before she ran away, protect them after she was no longer present in both their lives. However now she was in Lulu and Astys life again, the latter more than the former since Lulu didn't know who she really was, ever since running the girl had changed so much there was no way for the boy to recognize her as his old friend. "You have other people now, you have the whole guild." the wind user went to take a few steps forward, her small hand moving to touch shade's own hand with a small rueful smile, knowing the words did not do much when one was used to being on their own.

"I don't own many material things, so I haven't really ever had anything to possess besides other people and it never goes well." she still largely kept to the thought process of if she couldn't fix it into a backpack, shove it in her pockets, grab it and run, than she really didn't need it. As a runaway owning too much was only a drag on her already limited resources. Expect for her equipment and the clothing she owned the day she joined Black Rose the only extra thing she owned that didn't actually belong to Makoto was her mothers magic book and a fluffy blanket. Basically she could pick everything up, look like she was going on a few week long job and no one would question it, because she had so little to her name in spite of how far she had risen in the rank of mages.

Shade physically jolted, shocked by the statement as her wide eyes blinked. She had the guild? What a…curious thought. It tumbled around her head, alien in nature. There hadn’t been people to call her own since her village…and…well now they truly were hers, thoughts momentarily turning towards some of the inhabited stuffed animals she’d been holding tea time with earlier. Joining Black Rose had been nothing more than a whim, an easier way to stay close to Magna. Even being stamped the girl thought of this place more as his rather than their’s. And yet…there held a nice ring to that…though a small warmth in her chest became a bit harder to ignore.

”Ah…um…thank you,” she mumbled, red darkening her cheeks as purple eyes turned away. Was she embarrassed? What was this feeling? It was awkward to say the least. Quickly Shade latched onto Jiyu’s next statement, eager for a distraction away from something potentially heartfelt. Life was strange enough trying to figure out her obsession with one person, let alone trying to think of attachment to so many so suddenly.

It made sense though if the girl didn’t own much to avoid trying inanimate objects. Possessing one’s shirt or sock likely wouldn’t accomplish much anyways, not unless one could make things float. Even then floating books or clothing would be rather suspect and strange. What if she couldn’t cause the inhabited body to float too? Then she’d just be stuck, flopped wherever the object was left. It simply made sense to the summoner, ”Weeellll…I’m rather fond of making these fellows for fun and not all of them receive a soul…if you’d like to practice trying to possess one I certainly wouldn’t mind. Though we might not want to do it here.” The dining room remained a bit crowded and with possession, especially early stages, it seemed prudent to get away from accidental host bodies.

The jolt from Shade was not entirely missed by Jiyu who had also once been someone who was extremely the loner sort, not used to having anyone around to care. Having run away from home young? She spent a good deal of life using everything from her natural skills to her body in order to survive, she had been kind most of the time, but still even making friends in that condition didn't make you feel as if you belonged anywhere. Mikka did not have a hard time understanding why Shade jolted when she suggested the other long haired girl belonged here and now had a place where she could stay, settle calmly. Sometimes it was still hard for Jiyu herself to accept she had somewhere to call home again these days. Of course, she had always been a hot mess, half demon born in a largely human village and eventually rising to the goddess she hated being now.

"Its nothing to be embarrassed about." the ace giggled slightly as she kept her mismatched gaze on the pale haired woman, small hands extended as she hovered closer. It was a rare moment, tiny arms wrapping around the shoulders, if they managed it would also be a bit of an awkward cause this would put the far over sized bra clad chest of the woman right in Shade's face, since she was levitating to compensate for her shortness today. "Having somewhere to 'belong' is a very good thing, I'd know, spent years as a drifter using everything I had to simply stay alive." even preforming some less than savory acts, to the point she didn't think of them as dirty or disgusting anymore until they had been forced on her in those few years of captivity, those were some sad years.

The female's elfin ears twitched at the offer made by shade, gaze brightening as she backed off and nodded. "We could go to one of our rooms, though mine is very tiny." she really had no more room than a small place to sleep, and an open desgin bathroom that didn't even have an actual shower stall, one where the sink was on top of the toilet, she didn't like taking up space.

Focusing on the offer kept the girl’s mind from falling into a whirlwind of chaos, a mixture of curiosity, fear, and lack of surety threatening to boil over. Even the hug only served to deepen the blush, the action surely enjoyed with one soul and yet here was another she barely knew beyond today and…and it meant something the girl couldn’t quite place. It held something to it that ones from plenty of other strangers completely lacked. Maybe Shade’s senses were off because she couldn’t sense any ulterior motives from this girl, not in the way others in the past always kept secret, hoping to coax the young woman into something that usually ended foul for them instead. It left her feeling…warm, a still somewhat alien feeling.

Later, in the privacy of her own room the soul weaver could contemplate the notion of belonging somewhere other than Paradise, but for now she didn’t wish to fall apart. Especially in some place so public.

”Well…we’ll try your room and if it’s not big enough we can move to mine instead. As long as there’s some open space so we’re not elbowing each other and you can have some room to move and practice it’s fine.” Partially she didn’t want to open her room quite yet to someone who still felt a bit of a stra-no. That wasn’t quite right. She could at least upgrade the floaty woman to “acquaintance” even if Shade’s conscience didn’t agree with that statement either. Still felt a bit distant for someone willing to rub their chest against one’s head…soothing though it may’ve been.

However if it came to be then it’d be a sacrifice she’d make as all but the odd sea-dragon plush vanished from her table, hands tenderly picking up the beast. Old though it may be Shade still adored the thing, it often sitting on a pillow atop her bed in Paradise, as if standing guard over dreams or any of the other myriad of romanticized reasons she’d cooked up. Throughout its life not once had the girl created a denizen she felt “fit” the body, though she longed for it to gain some form of life. Too often her friends ended up far too mischievous or chaotic, and even if they somehow came out calmer like Gaspard, Shade usually had something that struck her as more fitting than the poor, mottled beast.

Chaos was something in spite of her years of living on the run, Jiyu really had yet to experience. Sure some may have considered her an embodiment when she was younger. Yet, she never felt out of control, everything in fact was always well under her thumb, for the longest time it was just a human sized chess game at best, and at worst became a twisted survival game she never intended to loose, back than she would have easily slit someone else's throat with without a second though to survive another day, shank them if she needed something they had which she could not get through means besides their death. While she was a well respected legal mage these days, there was a time in her not too distant history when the wind user had been a despicable human being. Now she had eternity as an Inugami to think about it.

She had enough of ulterior motives to last a life time when she was growing up, the wind mage had enough of it, so now she was often very transparent. However, she did still try her hardest to hide the person she used to be. "I can promise my space doesn't have that sort of room its the width of two twin beds, and the length of one with a twin bed and a dresser inside. Normally I don't need much space, I'm typically only here when I'm sleeping or have a full week of work booked for the inn." otherwise she was on magical missions, getting into three hundred different kinds of trouble and somehow finding her way out of every single one.  

"I really prefer to be out using my magic to protect people than cooped up at the guild or running around doing nothing. So I never asked for much apart from the basic overnight room I got when I first-" a blank expression entered the girls gaze, hand going to her head as it began to pang, she was going to say something about how she got to Black Rose, but her mismatched optics just seemed as if they didn't exist now, one could even swear her body flickered out of sight for a moment. "Why can't I?" she couldn't remember how she joined the guild, Jiyu suddenly realized she had no idea how she had come to find Black Rose in that port town or in rose garden, and she couldn't remember anything in clear color after getting off the ship back than. Why couldn't she remember anything? Little did Jiyu know, her power as a goddess had erased someone from her timeline, someone who had played an essential role in keeping her alive, it was slowly eating at her but she didn't know any better.

Jiyu decided not to think on the past, as she did not enjoy thinking about her past to begin with, and simply smiled. "What we do is up to you." the wind user grinned, hair bouncing with a small movement she made accompanying the comment. "though in my room one of us would have to sit on the bed." it was the only way they would both fit inside, it was why she had asked for a second room for Makoto.

Oh.

’Right then, new plan.’

Talk about minimalistic, if the other woman’s room couldn’t fit more than basically two small beds…well that just felt a bit small for Shade. Something about the small space caused the strangest tingles inside, like her organs might be jittering in sudden sentience. It sounded too much like a prison, like her room back home…

Shade watched as her wind using companion held her head, voice cutting off mid-thought. Her own head tilting, the white haired girl pondered the action as Jiyu returned to smiling shortly thereafter, ’Odd…random headaches? Though, that doesn’t seem quite right either...”why can’t” she what?’ If the other mage couldn’t fathom an answer though there’d be little point asking, at least right now. It’d probably be better to give whatever that “incident” was some time to process.

Mind returning to the here-and-now the summoner waved a hand, ”No, outside might be better than cramping ourselves in a room-“ and then Shade wouldn’t have to worry about cleaning up at all, ”we can find some nice grassy area, maybe a hill or something a little outside the city. It’ll probably be more comfortable in the long run, and then less chance for someone happening by at a bad moment.” Not knowing firsthand the canine woman’s abilities when it came to possession, there could’ve been a mishap or few if she happened to send her spirit through a wall and accidentally try to inhabit someone else. While Shade could potentially wrangle her spirit back – such abilities a bit unwieldy compared to her reign in Paradise – it’d be better to remove potential (and unknown) targets completely. ’Or if she happens to try and takeover a squirrel…well they’re usually simple minded so probably not as difficult as a person and less worry about damaging either party I suppose…’

Stacking her plates together, Shade motioned for one of the staff members that she’d finished so they could clean the table for whoever claimed it next. Little sea monster in hand, she motioned to follow her, though once outside casually threw out, ”I don’t suppose you have a favorite, secluded spot somewhere nearbyish? Preferably one you’re comfortable with? It might help the process…otherwise we’ll just scope some place outside of town.” Between a dislike for camping, dealing with her realm recently, and a few other things she hadn’t exactly spent a lot of time wandering around the woods or even the Sakura forest nearby.

It really wasn't her fault she had such a small space, she was mostly just playing around in earth land anyway, considering she was a goddess with a whole realm to herself. Of course, having not gotten the grip of creation yet, her own realm was rather lonely, devoid of even most plant life as she had yet to realize the full control she had over what happened within the boundaries of Solace, so of course, she spent little time there. She was still discovering so much about her new abilities at the moment.

"Someone happening by." She had never done it before, even her own visits into that empty void filled with dead tree's and nearly blackened soil had been brief and connected to dying, regenerating her body. Could she possibly bring someone else there? Was it even safe for another person to enter, Leila had done it once but even then she had been forced to fight through it, past the other three-fourths of herself. Would they also attack Shade if she brought the other girl into Solace somehow? 'Oh come on, Mysterious you think that little of us, bitch?' oh yeah, that had been before they made peace with each other, it had to be fine by now, didn't it? Of course, being able to let someone else exist in the realm and being able to get them into it were completely different things. "There may be a way to entirely eliminate that possibility, but I've never done it before without being killed." she looked thoughtful, trying to remember how she got to Solace when her soul was cut from whatever body it had built that time.

"I do have a realm, but I've never willingly let or brought anyone else into it before, I myself only end up there when my body needs to regenerate, but entering should be the reverse of leaving right?" she had got getting out of Solace down pat, so maybe it meant she could bring herself and other's there at will now. "there certainly isn't anything to accidentally be possessed there." nothing existed there, expect everything that had died since Leila restored her body back then, not even the horrid spiders survived everything just seemed to die when she had no reason to stay trapped there.
