You saw what...?

[A trapped soul inside Velvet? That's new.]

[save_the_souls]

[...]

There's a Serap- Malak soul, in her arm. A woman with red hair- so maybe fire?

Velvet uses her for power, but she seems to want to be there.

[nerdeology]

I don't understand. How can you tell? You can see it? And how do you know she wants it?

[This sounds a lot different from tethering. Maybe he needs to ask Zaveid about this one.]

[save_the_souls]

[Ah...right. Guess he wouldn't remember what happened while he was a dragon]

I have a curse that lets me see trapped souls. In other words, a soul that's being held somewhere it shouldn't be. And not only can I see them, but I can hear their words. That's how I know.

[nerdeology]

[yeah for some reason nobody likes to talk about that part.]

I see... your eye. I remember you were able to sense it, but I didn't realize it was that detailed.

[No wonder he hadn't liked being around Greed, if there'd been so many of them.]

I wonder if it's more similar to a tethering situation than how hellions usually are. When hellions consume living beings they don't just keep existing within the hellion. Purifying or even killing them doesn't bring the person back.

[save_the_souls]

Mm, it's quite powerful!

[He says almost proudly of his curse. What he likes having it, okay. ]

It's possible. It could be that she less cannibalises others and more...absorbs them....somehow? [He shrugs as he takes another bite of food] I'm not sure, really. I just know what I saw.

[nerdeology]

I see... well, I won't make any promises about Siegfried, only because we don't know for certain if something like that might become necessary, and I don't want to end up having lied to you. It doesn't work the way you think it does.

[If there's one thing that weapon doesn't do, it's bind anything together. It sort of defeats the whole purpose of its existence.]

I will promise that we won't rush into anything. None of us are inclined to sacrifice ourselves lightly when there are other options, and other people who can help- that isn't something we had back home.
