I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Braided ponytail for Vaisi, or any sort of braids would be neat.

>>42362367
Wait Vaisi is a red-head?

"Yeah, it ain't that bad..."

>Vaisi sits on a bed in a sectioned off part of the clinic. Standing beside her is an Amethyst Knight, sword at the ready if needed.

"I mean..." She says, "I got a good bed, new clothes, sunlight. Yeah, sunlight is pretty fucking awesome. The professor's are pretty awesome in taking care of me. They don't think anything's wrong, though. I mean... Beyond my teeth, eyes, and hair."

>>42362367
Tali, before you go, take a revision of restorative and healing magic at your disposal.
Vaisi might be a little... impulsive at showing her gratitude. There might be some minor injuries.
Oh and sound-proofing would be helpful too. She's at a nurse ward you wouldn't want to bother other patients with your talking... and stuff, right?

>>42362367
Everything alright Tali? i read your twitter and was worried about you and your family.

>>42362437
Touch fluffy Vaisi

>>42362437
You gotta do something about Vaisi's hair, Tali.
Offer to style it or cut it. We can't do anything about her teeth though unless you wanna delve into fleshcrafting.

>>42362437

>They don't think anything's wrong, though. I mean... Beyond my teeth, eyes, and hair

Wait, was your hair a different color originally or do you mean the length?

>>42362437
Tell her there's nothing wrong with her hair or eyes. Because there really isn't. And the teeth won't be a problem either as long as she doesn't bite down spontaneously.

Also is she weraing a shirt that goes just under her butt with no pants there? That's hot.

>>42362437
Well we can do something about the hair at least.

Brush her hair and ask her how she wants it styled.

>>42362437
Have you tried bouncing up and down on the bed?

Because that is like the 1st thing I would do if I went for years without a proper bed.

>>42362437
No words, only hugs now.
...
And grope her butt just a little bit, I'm sure she will like it.

>>42362437
what's wrong with the hair? and I don't see your eyes swirling, did they change color or something? Can see the teeth though but there are spells for that if they really bother you.

>>42362574
Fellow disembodied voice, we just un-possessed her yesterday and now you want her to already have a new haircut? Isn't that too much character development over too short period of a time?

>>42362437
Well, I suppose we have one less thing to worry about.

>>42362437
>They don't think anything's wrong, though. I mean... Beyond my teeth, eyes, and hair."
"Your teeth look fine to me"
Sharkmouth buddies!

>>42362437
"What's wrong with your hair?"

>>42362437
Hug her, kiss her, grope her and do her hair.

>>42362661
Tali's a squidmouth, though

>>42362437
What's wrong with your hair?

>>42362437
Good thing you have a thing for swirly eyes, right Tali?

>>42362759
Are you sure he's not a kidmouth?

>>42362562
>>42362643
>>42362801
her eyes are purple now. so far all humans have had yellow eyes.

>>42362437

I think that your teeth and all that give you a very distinctive look. Really completes the ensemble along with your personality.

>>42362963
As long as she doesn't manifest heart-shaped pupils, we're good. Because the moment she does, I'm assuming direct control, consequences be damned.

"What's wrong with your hair? It looks fine to me."

"Eh... The color is off. It used to be a darker red. I mean, I don't got a problem with it or anything. I'm just glad to be free. If I have to lose a bit of color I ain't complaining. Wish I could cut it, though. Long hair is hard when you can't easily brush it out of your eyes, you know?"

"I think I can help you with that a bit, if you want."

"Really? That'd be fucking awesome. You should have seen me when I had shorter hair. I was so damn cute."

>Tali nods. He doesn't really know what to talk about... Vaisi doesn't seem to mind the silence and simply smiles while looking at him.

>>42362605
"... You know, I'm surprised you're not bouncing up and down on that bed. I mean, it looks way more bouncy than the one you were on. If I was on a proper bed for the first time in ages I'd do that."

"... Tali, you're a fucking genius."

>She stands up and begins bouncing up and down, getting quite a bit of air time with her strong legs.

"So, Tali, I was thinking," She says in between jumps, "You could talk to Holly or something. I would like to join Petal."

"Petal? Really?"

"Can't go back to thorn. Don't like Root. And I heard Vendal takes just about-OH SHIT"

>Vaisi slips and falls.

Well, Vaisi is dead. Let's go find another cute girl to talk to.

>>42363226

>>42363226
Tell Vaisi that she should do this with her hair.

>>42363226

CATCH HER WITH YOUR BIG MANLY ARMS TALI. MAKE HER SWOON.

>>42363226
Quickly Tali, check her vitals first and then her butt for potential injuries.

>>42363226
This voice gets it >>42363294

>>42363226
I like her better with long hair, though. Maybe a ponytail, or a braid?

>>42363262
I honestly want to hive her mohawk, even if just for one day.

>>42363262
...Why does this picture remind me of Doctor Vahlen?

>>42363226
IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE, TALI. APPLY HEALING MAGIC TO HER BUTT. LIBERALLY.

>>42363226
Tali, quickly cast a healing spell!

>>42363226
Oh no! Butt massage, stat!

>>42363226
Quick, cast Lift Target before she hits the floor!

>>42363033
>As long as she does manifest heart-shaped pupils, we're good.
FTFY

>>42363262
Anon... how do you suggest she pull it back? "Ponytail" is not hair's natural state of being. But magic, so I dunno. Maybe there're runes that can do it for you.

>>42363294
>check her vitals
She's been in the dark for years and years. She's obviously going to be deficient in vitamin D. Tali should administer a supplemental D injection. Or administer it orally.

>>42363226
HEAL THE BUTT!
AND THE TEETH!

Everything else can wait.

Also, you saved the girl's life, you are obligated to tell her you have a dick now.

>>42363398
>you are obligated to show her you have a dick now.

>Without his spellbook in hand Tali can't cast fast enough before he hears a THUD and a groan of pain.

>He rushes over to Vaisi and picks her up.

"Oh my god. Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah. Totally fine. I guess you could say I... Fell for you? Eh? Eh?"

"..."

"I can tell you're stunned by my pun genius. And my butt. I saw you peeking."

"I did no such..."

"Please, there's no point in denying it. It's fucking glorious. I would stare at it too if I could. Hell, I have given my own butt a glance sometimes when I'm taking a shower. God, I was staring at it for like 10 minutes last night after my bath just thinking 'Damn that is a fine ass. If I had a clone of me I would ravage that.' Alas, I do not. All I can do is bequeath the awesomeness of my butt to others. Such as yourself~"

>Tali can feel his heart racing.

>He can also feel the Knight moving closer in, apparently displeased at him holding her.

>>42363625
Tali, I think you're at risk of getting YOUR butt ravaged by the security guard.

Metaphorically, at least.

I think. Probably.

>>42363625
Hi Tali!

Just so you know, your Ceer mate's boy parts are shrinking since she's been using her girl parts more. Apparently that's normal for her species, she doesn't mind, but if you like her boy parts you could lend her a hand with that. Or a tongue.

Speaking of sexy times, how's Vaisi recovering mentally? When we went into her head, pretty much all she could think about was all the kinky things she was hoping you'd do to her. How about now? Has she expanded her interests to other topics?

>>42363625
FEEL DAT ASS TALI, DO IT KNIFE-EARS

>>42363625
>I... Fell for you? Eh? Eh?"
AHAHAHAHAHA
No lewd times with Vaisi with that Knight watching, Tali. Remember, Knights were made specifically to hunt down Elves.

>>42363625
Quickly grope her butt and put her back on the bed. Promise to put a good word for her with Vendal.

Then ask for her story, I guess.

>>42363625
Put her back on the bed and get to work on her hair.

>>42363625
Put her back on the bed.

And let her lock her legs around your waist and draw you in for a kiss.

AND PUT HUS IN HER BOOBIES

>>42363625
Okay, you should probably place her back on the bed now.

>>42363625
Use a glamour to keep the Knight from seeing you cop a feel

>>42363625
probably should help her back onto the bed before the knight hits you or something.

>>42363625
To bed with you. Fun time later

>>42363625
Remind the knight that the didn't as much as TRY to catch her. So now you'd like to get your friend back in the bed. On the bed. Not like that. Not yet.

>>42363625
Time to work on her hair as you promised.

>>42363625
Put the living onahole back on the bed Tali

>>42363625
An ass that fine should be on the bed, not the floor Tali. Put her back on it

"Oh Tali~. The things we could do on this bed~.

POMF =3

>>42363625
Ask the knight if you can lewd Vaisi, offer a threesome

put her back. "sorry, this big guy is kind of a mood killer for me"

>>42364151

Well, he's gonna need to grab onto something to lift her up.

>>42363625
Hey Tali, is that Knight a person or some kind of construct like a golem?

>>42364192
think they are described as a little of both. people given construct like qualities. aka they are big daddies but with laws instead of little sisters. you break the law, they break you.

"Uhm... That big knight there is kind of a mood killer. And an elf killer. I don't really want to risk anything..."

"Of course. This is, however, a limited time offer~"

"Later."

>He lifts the girl up and places her back on the bed, having to touch her butt and thighs but only to lift her up and for no other reason why would you even think that.

>When she's back on the bed he grabs a nearby brush and offers to help her with her hair.

>She agrees and he gets down to the brushing. She sighs happily as he starts brushing her long hair.

"You should help me get a new style. This one is seriously shit."

"Sure. What kind do you want?"

"Mmm... I don't know, honestly. I kinda wanna go back to how it was but... Maybe it's time for something new?"

"Could always do braids."

"Maybe."

>>42363673
"So... Is that deal for secrets still up?"

"Mmm... Sure. Gotta warn you, though. I know a lot less now that I don't have an all powerful book latched into my soul. What do you want to know?"

"About you. Tell me your story."

"Oh, geeze. Guess I can answer that. Uhm... Where to start... I came to this school a while back and was sorted into Thorn class cause of my arms and I figured thorn would be awesome. I was one of the best students there and I specialized in enhancement magic. It would let me become super strong by overcharging with mana. Standard Thorn stuff, really. I had a lot of friends, went through dungeon runs, did magical shit."

"How did you get those arms?"

"Well I was born without arms. Then one day a man saw me and said 'Hey, kid, you want new arms?' and I called him creepy. Then he kidnapped me and gave me knew arms. Never saw him again after that."

"So he just picked you up and gave you new arms?"

"Yep~ This is fun. Ask me more questions."

>>42364358
So when'd you find the book? Best dungeon run? Weirdest artefact?

>>42364358
So, what do you do to have harmless fun?

Did you hand over your old arms when they captured you?

I can't really put my finger on it. Would you want pigtails?

>>42364358
so what would you say was the best thing you did in thorn? Complete some ultra hard dungeon, beat the crap out of something that was out of your weight class, what?

>>42364358

Where did your arms go to? The teachers took them away?

>>42364358

You might look nice with a side braid, those can be pretty damn sexy.

Also you have a nice smile.

>>42364358
How did you get to be so lewd?

>>42364358
>Then one day a man saw me and said 'Hey, kid, you want new arms?' and I called him creepy. Then he kidnapped me and gave me knew arms.
What did this guy look like, did he have a mask on?

>>42364358
yeah, do pigtails, Tali. She will look the adorablest.

Did she ever have a boyfriend before? Does she mind sharing, cause the boy you know is dating someone. What places has she gone in the school?

Whisper to her if she could take a look at the library's THE BOOK OF MAGIC for you. Ceera might be a better alternative.

>>42364358
Since you lived a lot of your life without your arms, I bet you're really good with your feet. What kind of stuff can you do with them that would surprise us?

>>42364358
So, what happened after they found that book?

>>42364358
>It would let me become super strong by overcharging with mana. Standard Thorn stuff, really.
Now I can't stop imagining her going Super Saiyan.

>Yep~ This is fun. Ask me more questions."
She's so cute, can we keep her?
Talk about Magical Girl cleaver. You can bring her all the volumes now. Actually, Tali, if you're out of questions, touch her with us, we will keep the talk flowing.

>>42364358
What year was she born, and where? Does she remember her parents or other family?

Enhancement magic sounds pretty neat. Did she have a favorite spell back then?

>>42364537

Oh yeah, and maybe have her join the Eastern Arts Appreciation Club.

>>42364358
Mohawk, mohawk! And get her some punk clothes. Or regular clothes and punk 'em up.

>>42364358
Did you like Thorn?

>>42364358

Why did you come to Minia in the first place? To learn magic? Bored?

>>42364358

Resuggesting >>42363262

>>42364358
Tali, when she shortify her hair, go see if we can get permission to take her Dungeon Diving. The Knight can come too if he helps, but he's not getting a cut of the loot.

>>42364704
I feel like Vaisi should not go dungeon diving at all in the forseeable future.

We literally only just got her out of the mess from the last time.

>>42364358
This might be a bit of a wild shot, but... ask her about boys. It's a think girls talk about (or so I've heard)... did she get luck before the whole book incident or, is she still pure in body if not in mind?

>>42364909
Best way to get your legs back is to walk, she's fine.

>>42364358
>Then he kidnapped me and gave me knew arms. Never saw him again after that.
Oh god, she's met Big Boss

>>42364970
We should get Vaisi a copy of Liquid's outfit, she'd wear it well. Tali can wear Raiden's armor from MGR.

>>42365070
>not making Solid Tali
she's the only one with a "solid snake" if you will.

And I want to hear Vaisi go SSSSSSIIIIISTER! every time we see her

>>42365131
You think Tali could pull off a Sneaking Suit? Does he have the Ass?

>>42364358
>And an elf killer.
>elf

thesecretisout.flac

>>42365167
eh, vaisi would fuck tali regardless.

>>42365187
that was more in regards to the knight mentioned

>>42365187
Regardless of being elf or regardless of being dead?

>>42365187
Larro did once say that Vaisi will be crushed her delicious chocolate human girl was a lie.
It probably won't be too bad, right?

>>42365163
You know, I don't know.

HEY TALI, PUT US UNDER YOUR CLOAK WE NEED TO INSPECT YOUR POSTERIOR FOR MISSION-CRITICAL DATA

>>42365233

Why not both

>>42365293
Vaisi was told we were a boy and seemed to approve. She hasn't dived for the zipper with her teeth yet, so who knows what she believes about such. Or if it'd stop her either way.

>>42365293
She'll be less crushed when she learns about Tali's MAGNUM DONG.

>>42365293
Okay what exactly is it she chould have from chocolate human girl and couldn't have from Tali? because I got nothing.

>>42365070
>>42365131
>>42365163
Tali isn't any flavor of snake. He's Decoy Octopus. He's already got the teeth for it.

"I found that book in a dungeon called The Hollow. It was an intense run... There was even a drake at the end of it. We were dividing the treasure and... Well, the book drew me to it.

As far as I could tell did absolutely nothing other than be shiny."

>>42365412
>For fun I used to actually do carvings with my arms. Wood carvings were super fun. I had a bunch before they confiscated my stuff.
We should see if they still have the carvings. We could get them back for her.

>I was born in 972 over in Windcrest.
For comparison, what's the current year?

>"... I'd rather not say."
We shouldn't ask while there's a guard watching. She might know a secret that the headmistress doesn't want getting out.

>>42365412

Also you should agree to see Holly about getting her into Petal like she wanted.

Going into a class dedicated to healing might be just what she needs.

>>42365412
Twintails don't suit you. What about just getting it cut shoulder length and keeping it straight? You could get the bangs trimmed, too, to keep them out of your eyes.

>>42365412
Twintails all day

>>42365412
Anything but twintails. Please.

>>42365412
I like your hair as it is now.

>>42365412
What if you put her hair up in a bun?

Or put one ponytail near her neck, so it can all hang down her back like it should, but won't get in her eyes?

>>42365412
Anything but the feauxhawk. Go full mohawk or go home

"Hmm...Let me..."

>Tali continues messing with her hair. After a few more minutes of this he hears someone clear their throat behind him.

"Tali?"

>He sees Katherine standing at the doorway.

"Yes?"

"Natalie wishes to speak with you. Do you have time?"

Now that we've decided on her head hair, what about the other hair she's got? Must be mad bushy by now, gotta sort that shit out.

>>42366590
Sure, I was almost done. What's it about?

>>42366590
uhh, sure, i guess. See you later, Vaisi

So why does she want to talk to me?

>>42366590
Best to not keep Warrior Elf waiting, Tali. This might be your initiation into Thorn, you can finally go dungeoneering.

I see what's going on here.

Having lost a metric ton of art layers and assets, Larro felt bad about not running a thread so he did one padded with some very straight forward assets of different hairstyles on our armless friend.

Clever Larro.

Clever Larro.

This grants the ability to run a thread when he may or may not have finished recreating all his original resources.

hmm? what could it be?

>>42366590
"No. This is the most important task. Gimme a thread or two".

>>42366590
Go along with it for now, but tell Vaisi you'll be back to play with her hair later.

The rest of her, too.

>>42366590
>>He sees Katherine standing at the doorway.
Of course. Go see sword ears right now.

>>42366590
Not now, we have important business to deal with right now. Say, what do you think of Vaisi's hair?

>>42366590
Hell yeah we have the time. Always, happy to be of help around here. Look at all the good things we got from helping people!

Waifus, Dragons, Artifacts, a Bottom Book, and even the ability to make icecream at any time. Life is grand!

>>42366590
uh sure?

>>42366590
Make the time, Tali.

But be on guard.

>>42366590
Yes, I don't think we have anything important right now.

>>42366684
b-b-but the ponytail revolution!

>>42366590
Sure

>>42366590

Well this isn't gonna be a minefield at all, no siree. Bit like we devoted a bunch of time and energy to saving the person who betrayed her, took her eye, and killed her friend(s). Even if she was under a sort of mind control.

Unless Natalie is a LOT more level-headed and reasonable than expected, this is probably pretty hard for her.

>>42366752
Let's keep in mind there's a possibility that Vaisi actually still is murder-crazy (either because of books lasting influence or her natural predispositions) and we just helped her get it together enough to play consistent bluff now.

>>42366752
Well, she'll probably agree that it's better than her remaining under the book's control.

"Huh? Sure... I'll see you later, Vaisi."

"You better~"

>Tali follows Katherine. The Thorn member doesn't say a word as she leads him out of Petal tower, down the main hall, and outside to Thorn's area. Standing in the training field without her armor is Natalie. Her greatsword is in hand and she watches Tali with her good eye as he approaches.

"Tali." She says.

"Hey Natalie. What's up?"

"Nothing interesting. Though, I did hear a rumor. I heard that you broke Vaisi out of the dungeon. Is that true?"

>>42366889
>broke Vaisi out of the dungeon.
not so much broke her out as helped a joint effort to remove a Ceer infestation from a student, but yes, we did 'break her out'

>>42366889
"Partially. We managed to separate the book from her. She was moved from the dunegon to less restricting house arrest."

>>42366889
It's not breaking out when the staff was around to unseal her from there.

>>42366889
No, that is not true. What I did is freed Vaisi from the evil artifact that possessed her, after which she was released from her prison.

>>42366889
Kind of, we did have some help, and managed to subdue the book.

>>42366889
i got the teacher's to help first. if you mean "was the catalyst that got her out" then yes. she would have eventually turned into a ceer and the rune shield holding her in place would have stopped working. and then the book would have had it's merry way with everyone else in the school.

>>42366889
More like separate her from the book that was making her insane, turning her into a ceer and about to make those wards she was in useless anyways.

>>42366889
More like I was present when staff unsealed her and assisted with removal of a Ceer infestation.

>>42366889
There's no sense in lying, Tali. You did comfy the headmaster so you could get Vaisi released, but that was to help her deal with the book. We didn't truly break her out Shawshank style.

>>42366889
no not really, the head mistress moved her to the medical ward under knight watch after a group effort to remove a cursed artifact's influence from her was successful. Was part of that group but no real breaking out really.

>>42366889
not really?
We -did- get her out, but it was sort of legitimate?
Kinda?

>>42366889
We did so, yes, but faculty had knowledge and were prepared in the event of an emergency.

Whatcha gonna do about it, Monocular Chocolate?

"I mean... Yes and no? I helped get her out but it was a group effort, really. The teachers were helping to and all..."

"I heard it was all because of you. You made it so."

"... Yes..?"

"You idiot! She is a killer! She could have destroyed you!"

"We had the teachers! And we got the book off of her!"

"So what!? She could still be possessed by that thing! Do you truly know all the things it does to a mind!? She could be fine now but how do you know she won't just snap the next moment! You're put the entire school in danger! She should have never come out of there! Never!"

>>42367188
And what if you shut the fuck up?

>>42367188
Huh, think she's tearing up a bit.

>>42367188
She's crying. Ask her why?

>>42367188
uh, nup, we excised the book from her soul. Its gone. fo realsies

>>42367188
The book was about to take complete control and turn her into a ceer.

>>42367188
Holy shit, Tali. In the next moment, you're either gonna get a broadsword to the face or knocked out.

Remember, her friends were killed by Vaisi. But we're never gonna bring them back. She probably wanted to see Vaisi turn into a Ceer so they could euthanize her.

>>42367188
Weaklings should stop whining.

>>42367188
She's crying ask her why. Also remind her if you left the situation unchecked, she'd have gotten out as a crazy Ceer anyways and would have for certain killed most of the school.

>>42367188
I help stop a disaster and saved her soul. If not me, then who could have done it?

>>42367188
It's alright. I've used magic to take control of the book.

I believe she isn't possessed anymore as her ceer transformation fully stopped and even partially reversed.

>>42367188
See, what it sounds like to me is that you're saying Tali needs to watch her 24/7 in order to make sure she doesn't snap. Mind helping us transfer her to Petal?

>>42367188
We did a bit of reserch on Ceer and their artifacts. It was actually safer to attempt a separation than to leave her there. We gave her a chance to get better or die trying. She got better.

>>42367188
So it would be better for her soul to be destroyed and her body completely hijacked by the book? That doesn't sound like a good thing, either.

>>42367290
>transfer her to Petal
$10 that she would have fatal accident in less than a month if that ever came to pass.

>>42367188
"she's armless, wont hurt a fly"

>>42367188
"Natalie... I'm sorry I didn't ask you. You had the right to be there."

>>42367188
I think you're letting your personal involvement cloud your judgement.

She was close to going full Ceer which likely would have let her break herself out. It was either kill her or make an attempt to save her, and both carried a similar risk.

>>42367188

Well now, we know she's not still possessed. We made sure of THAT first hand. Second, she is still completely unarmed.

>>42367188
was no choice really. the book was turning her into a ceer, when it completed the rune based jail cell would have stopped working, she would have just walked out, and then killed everyone.

>>42367345
>>42367377
I'm sure Natalie will turn the blind eye that we didn't tell her earlier.

>>42367681
Try to soothe Nathalie by saying that Vaisi now has twin pigtails that are adorable.

>>42367681
Force comfy magic down her throat until she chokes on it

Try comfy magic, buff Lyra as much as you can.

If you have any exhausting spells or stuff, you can try it on Natalie.

"Oh gods... I... I tried, you know? I tried to see her but it... That fucking book was there all the time. And she would just talk about how she killed our friends.... How she hurt me... And sometimes I could see her... The real her, under all that fucked up mess. I just couldn't go back... I... I wasn't strong enough..."

"..." Tali tries to comfort her by hugging her.

"She... She asked about me... And I kept saying one day I would fix her. One day I would make her normal again. God, I was the one who let her get the book. It's all my fault and now that she's back... She must think I never even tried..."

"She doesn't hate you Natalie. Really, she doesn't. When we were talking I asked her about what her best experience was in this class and she said it was fighting alongside you against that Drake."

"... She... She really...?"

>She starts crying even harder.

Oh god I fucked up.

This is not making her feel better, I think.

>>42368264

Right now I don't think anything is gonna make her feel especially better. But it might make her feel better later. Right now I think there might be some call for more comfymancy. Sleep is good emotional distress.

>>42368264
Uh, let's take her back to Vaisi. We need them to reconcile.

>>42368264
Nah those tears needed spilling. Just give her a minute.

>>42368264
it's working, look at her eye. she switched from sad tears to happy tears. bring her in for a visit.

>>42368264
>Oh god I fucked up.

>>42368264
You are the worst at sympathy, chocolate love.

They should probably talk. For now, just give her a minute to calm down.

>>42368264
Get Lyra to carry her to Vaisi's room.

>>42368264
Ask if she wants to see her. Maybe not right at this moment, since she probably needs to calm down and prepare herself.

But assure her that Val still would like to be friends. I'm sure of it.

>>42368264

Give her a shoulder to cry on. She needs a moment to compose herself or let it all out.

What are the odds that she's going to go straight for a hug and Vasi attempts to make out with her.
You know, because she can't return the hug, being the 'armless girl she is, so she has to grab with other bits.
Leglock.

>>42368264
Take her to go see Vaisi now

>>42368264
Suggest having her talk to Vaisi. Be sure to point out that, whatever she regrets, whatever choices she made, Vaisi's back. She's free of that thing, now. She remembers what she did, and she will have to live with it. But she shouldn't have to do that without her best friend.

>>42368264
Bring the girl to varsi

I feel like bringing her to Vaisi right now might just be a little bit of a bad idea. She'd need a bit of time to compose herself, after having come to terms with "no I don't actually want to murder her anymore."

Or we could ask her.

>>42368309
