[the device clicks on to record the Black Madonna's soft smile; it seems she's back home at last. one would be hard pressed to tell where she'd spent the past few weeks at all; not a hair is out of place, and that perpetual serenity remains uninterrupted.

when she speaks, the soft chime of bells accompanies the sound.Tell me, Discedo... if you

8D]

[emerald_lines]

[Leaning on the counter watching her. She glances up when she speaks.] Huh? Sure...what is it?

wlkejkj hahahaha OKAY -NOW- SWEET DREAMS.

[pacifyinghand]

Ca you tell me a bit about your world? What it's like, in comparison to this one...

[emerald_lines]

My world? I don't know... [What a complicated question. She thinks it over for a minute.]

Um, I guess...it seems very different from here. There's forests everywhere and mountains, and a big ocean. Well, I've seen lots of things like that from the air, but I only lived in the city when I was little. [props her chin on her hands and frowns] Everyone was bossy...

[pacifyinghand]

It sounds beautiful...

From the air? Did you often fly on airships?

[emerald_lines]

I guess...it's nice to look at.

Yes, the Simoun are a kind of airship. I've been flying since I was very young...and when we're not piloting, we're stationed on the Prima anyway- ah, the Arcus Prima is a really huge ship! It used to be a luxury ship, but now it's a carrier for the Simoun.

[pacifyinghand]

So young yet you pilot an airship... that's truly amazing. Are such things common where you're from?

[emerald_lines]

Not really...sort of. Um, that is, I'm the youngest priestess they've ever accepted, so it is unusual...

[pacifyinghand]

That's wonderful... I wish I could see you fly.

[emerald_lines]

I wish I could show you. [a nostalgic smile as she remembers it] Flying the Simoun and drawing prayers for everyone...was the best thing in the world.

[pacifyinghand]

To be a priestess in your world... and draw prayers...

What is it like? It seems much different than the prominent religions in my world.

[emerald_lines]

Well...I only know the religions of my world, but, um, the priestesses like me are different from the ones who run the churches. Sibyllae are the only ones who can fly the Simoun, so...they're more like symbols for the people to look up to. It supposed to be a peaceful life...blessing the people, and drawing prayers in the sky.

["supposed to be." There's a pause.] Um, that's what I always heard, but...to be honest, I don't know what that's like. We don't...just pray anymore.

[pacifyinghand]

What else do you do?

[emerald_lines]

There's...a war... [fidgetfidget] With the Simoun's power, um...

Certain prayers are...very destructive.

[pacifyinghand]

I see...

[a little pause, ans she sets a hand on Limone's head before pouring the water into their cups]

It doesn't sit well with you, does it...?

[emerald_lines]

[She shakes her head slightly] No...if we don't fight, people will get hurt...but still...
