Having been given leave to assume a form more... familiar, Apples shifted from a small plushie spider, to the form he'd been locked into in dreams for near a season. He'd been a child in his dreams since Vhalar, though he couldn't identify exactly why beyond his current struggle against Sintra and her games.
Having turned into the child in rags, nearby a Crow descended, perched, and watched the five assembled.
Steven looked at Faith, "
A ship's biscuit with chowder perhaps.
Chowder to keep you warm and full for days...."Steven, although he assumed the role of mentor with Seira, stood aside as Faith went about informing the girl more about Emea and the way it worked. She'd probably been dreamwalking longer than he had, afterall, although he was certainly no slouch in that regard He listened, and learned along with Seira as Faith explained its intricacies.
It was always interesting hearing about the ways of Emea from another perspective. Of course, magpie might've had other ideas, just as Woe himself had them. Emea was a chaotic realm, and there was literally no end to discovering its secrets. He could imagine how someone like Magpie, who had reached such a great understanding of Emea, only to find himself lost forever in it.
"Well, I think, regardless of anyone's intent, it's good to be honest and forthright. Most of all when we're surrounded by chaos, no?" Woe responded to the general conssensus that they should be more open.
"There are many powers that may work in dreams, and in Emea, Doctor Bubbles. I wouldn't recommend Domain Magic, but anything else that doesn't use the uncontrolled flow of ether? Probably safe." Woe assured her.
Woe was also curious, particularly about Kielik, "What were Jesine and Kielik like? Did you know them? How about Labrae? She was friends with Kielik wasn't she?"
