[098] Business As Usual

[sheifa]

Selphie's back! I'm so relieved that she's finally woken up. Looks like we've got tons of work to do, though.

Aligoté, how are you?

[Kane's reply is like a lightning bolt

Anything, dear lass. I am here.

And...I had heard what thy mother did to Selphie.

God have mercy on her soul, Sheifa. Her being kin to ye is all that stays mine wrath. More than the cuffs ever did.

No. It wasn't her. I thought it was, but it turned out to be one of those coma... things.

Dad, I've been having memory problems lately. Like... I go to the kitchen, and I suddenly forget why I'm there. And there was that one night, when I woke up to find myself on the rooftop. Soma and Albel found me, and well I was apparently sleepwalking, but still...

[a relieved sigh] Then her return will have me on edge for awhile yet.

...I see. Sleepwalking. With no memory of what ye were doing before...

Daughter, hath Yelan spoken to ye of Brynhildr of late?

Re: Screened//Unhackable

[sheifa]

Dad, she... She said we were inseparable, and, well... there was that incident, too. Where she came back. Brynhildr, I mean.

[the ice in his voice could freeze hellfire]

Foul woman. 'Tis as I thought. Spoken like a true serpent's consort. Yelan is playing on thy fears and doubts to make ye collapse back into thy old ways.

I told ye once that a part of Brynhildr will ever be by thy side. But not to the point that she drowns the real Sheifa. Ye told me ye believed that for thyself. That ye are Brynhildr, but she is not Sheifa Kane Nox.

[something of sterness enters his voice now, made gentle by paternal concern] I wish to hold ye to that belief, Sheifa. That ye would stay strong and true to who ye really are. For thy husband's sake. For thy friends. And... myself, as thy father.

We will reckon with Yelan if it cometh to that. But this battle of will is thine to fight.

OOC: Kane's pretty much counting down till the day it results in a showdown with Yelan.

Well spoken.

A pleasant evening, Sir Kane.

((ooc: I totally have to catch you on sometime. Yelan-mun's got a plot cooking, and so do I. :D))
