mental link;

[shri]

[ Knock-knock -

- or something like the creak of city gates of her wanting to reach out to anyone else in the hive that will respond. ]

( These ability we have aside from communication. I require a trainer for my own.

And a decent explanation of what they are and their pitfalls. I am not familiar with this kind of... magic. )

[ Yeah she can't think of another word for it. ]

Comments

[shri]

( I think my track record is fairly consistent. )

[ She hates Damon, Damon hates her, and it hasn't changed from day one. ]

( As you will then, Commander. )

[shri]

( The race. I was exuberant. That seemed to bring it up of its own accord. )

[ She really wishes she could give a better answer than that. ]

[shri]

( Is there another word for it?

That, and I have seen a great man of science work - and it is certainly nothing like this. )

[sistershoggoth]

( I sure as shit ain't ever getting married, how about that? )

[shri]

[ This again. ]

( Why not? )

[shri]

( It is my plan at current. )

[sistershoggoth]

( Uh, because I'm such a bitch who the fuck would marry me? What kind of question is that? )

[shri]

( ... Only if you are looking for a love match, but those are hardly proper. I certainly didn't have one. )

[sistershoggoth]

( And I'm not important enough for a fucking political marriage. )

[shri]

( Politics? That's how all marriages are arranged in my home. No matter who you are. I happened to marry a king, but I was just as likely to marry a pauper through those means. )

[sistershoggoth]

( Back home, shit was arranged by how well you killed people. )

[shiro2hero]

(It just has to be what you're feeling, right?)

(There's... definitely times when calming people down by any means necessary won't hurt.)

[shri]

( By merit then? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Entirely. Alien bitch was raising us as her super soldiers to take over the world, not points for weakness. )

[perroquet]

(Rani, you wound me.)

[shri]

( Then they should be clamouring to marry you, given your, ah, exploits. )

[ She has her faults, but she does her best ever to encourage. ]

[perroquet]

[ This is new. ]

(We have abilities aside from communication?)

[shri]

( Apparently. That was what you found me in the state of. )

[shri]

[ She hovers, slightly, because what she wants from Gildor is - not in that realm.

( The things she can't ask for come as sensation: the quiet lean in, where she slipped against him like crumbled ash, the fall of her hair over his shoulder, the way she closed her eyes and could feel nothing else but his breathing . Fell against him like she did not have the strength herself up and - ) ]

( It's not then that I need you. )

[deployed]

( When we get back, I'll practice with you. )

[ in his mind, practice takes the shape of sparring, rather than engaging the symbiote. ]

[sistershoggoth]

( No one knew about us. Secret alien bitch super school. )

[perroquet]

[ He remembers it well, her alarming lack of emotion was in stark contrast to his own concerned mind. Oh how he had tried to make her feel again. ]

(Come to think of it, it did feel like the result of a dark spell.)

[perroquet]

(Then, when you are in such a vulnerable and unpredictable state? Music is the heart of emotion, I am confident I can help if you allow me to.)

[ All that she does not ask of him and more, he can provide - he's quite sure of it. ]

[shri]

[ She still feels unsure over but she knows it for what it is... selfish, a need to preserve his presence for herself. ]

( Do you not trust them? Or feel that you will be better suited to it? )

[shri]

( I have not much experience with spells, but I know the after effects of such states. )

[ Pondering, thoughtful rather than dismissive. ]
