Seal Lullaby (Horo, Rikka, Stein, People who see Ghost)

Suisei blinked and watch as Sophia flowed out of the gem and Sousei walked out the door. She couldn’t feel pleasure from them reuniting, but she knew Sousei was getting stronger from their overabundance of love.Sol was quick to put her finger joints back together and even got them all correct on his first try, though he was unwilling to brush her hair, she was a little surprised when Sophia still offered to brush her hair and did so. “Sousei and I are originally from Omocha. It’s a planet of dolls who were made by ‘The Toymaker’. She was one of the original 12, just when her soul wouldn’t cooperate in one gem due to a bad tear it was split between 2 gems, and I was created. I’m the unlucky 13th doll.” Suisei sat quietly and perfectly still as Sophia carefully brushed her hair “Sol, you did guess correctly which of us was ‘evil’. I am worse than my sister, I just have less desire to experiment with mood swings than her.”

Suisei was watching Sol float in the air, he retained that agitated look as he stood there watching them. She smiled as she spoke “I find it funny that you consider what we do kidnapping; The idea of rescuing souls was started by the one other spirit-mancer I know to exist, but he died about 2 centuries ago...He was as powerful as you are.” She looked up at Sol “Why are you so afraid that I’ll hurt Sophia again? You speak with spirits all the time, you should know that many that wander the world are looking for a second-chance at life. It’s obvious that she is happy with her state of existence and that she’s not going to fade into a poltergeist, so I have no reason to interfere with her anymore.” Suisei was trying not to be cruel, but she had no control over her tone, and it probably sounded like she was mad, even if her expression said differently. She was really enjoying having her hair brushed, she was prone to enjoying all the same things normal dolls did, even if she wouldn't admit it.

((feel free to ask all the questions you want...she doesn't really want these 2 to leave.))

Soleth nodded as Suisei spoke of her origins. From the look in his eye, he probably had a suspicion of where she was from, but I’d only heard of the doll society as a myth. His information network was slacking. He’d probably want to pick up the pace with this informants I ran the brush through Suisei’s hair once again, being careful to not pull too hard when she encountered a tangle.

”Being 13 isn’t unlucky in other cultures, don’t fret. “

”So it was the toymaker’s handy work. I’ve heard rumors of his magic. I’d very much like to learn it.” Soleth floated down closer to Suisei. ”Well, lets say you see a child on the street. He looks malnourished, dirty, without enough clothing for the winter. You would think, this child is homeless, am I correct? Many would. Now a white van arrives and snatches the child. The child freaks out, hits his head, is rendered unconscious and awakens in an orphanage, warm with food next to him and new clothes. He’s been washed and dressed into comfortable pajamas. Was the person in the van wrong?”

Soleth posed the question in a way I could connect with. I was obviously the child, while the two dolls were the people. The soul gem was the van and the doll was the orphanage. I kept my silence as he finished.

” am of the point of view, that while the people in the van had honest intentions, their execution of the relocation of the child was flawed. In that manner, I consider them kidnappers. I don’t disagree with them, I disagree with their methods.” Soleth sat down, at least, as much as a spirit could and smiled at Suiesi. I didn’t think he would smile at Suisei… Especially so soon. ”I’m not afraid of you hurting her now. She has her body. You are just in the way.”

“SOLETH HOLMES” I shouted at him but he turned his head away, childishly again. He had some plan that had been interrupted by this, something that wasn’t serious enough for him to worry, only to annoy him. I wondered what it was. Why had he gone out tonight?

”It can’t be helped. Teach me how you do your soul binding while she finishes up.”
