[doudemoe]

Okay.

[flameyedhunter]

[ A sonorous male voice booms. ] I would like to personally thank you for taking an interest in the life of my contractor. You've been a calming influence on her when she lost someone very close. I owe you in particular a great deal.

[doudemoe]

[Okay, ow his eardrum.]

Ah, you're welcome.

Who is this?

[flameyedhunter]

My name is Alastor, the Flame of the Heavens.

[doudemoe]

Oh, I see. Shana's talked about you before.

[flameyedhunter]

No doubt, and I would have spoken to you earlier, had the situation allowed it. Still, you have treated her well. I suspect you'll soon be meeting her mentor, Wilhemina Carmel, as well.

[doudemoe]

[...Somehow, that almost sounds as if he's meeting her parents.]

I see. Should I prepare a gift beforehand?

[flameyedhunter]

It would be difficult to give it to her, considering she'll probably be talking to you on the phone.

[doudemoe]

Ah. Then I'll be sure to say hi.

[flameyedhunter]

Indeed... so, did you get another of your contractors recently?

[doudemoe]

You mean Persona? ...No, I haven't.

[flameyedhunter]

I see. I find it odd that you're able to use multiple Persona like that... how do you account for it?

[doudemoe]

I can't really answer that.

[flameyedhunter]

I see. Is this because you don't know, or don't wish to answer the question? Either answer is acceptable.

[doudemoe]

I really don't know.

[flameyedhunter]

I see... so who told you about your abilities anyway? Or did you just learn about them by using them?
