Hm.

[ Staring through the other . . ]

. . for what reason, dear Ataxia? One would assume your spirit knows all it needs to know.

Unfinished business?

[ Trying not to grin, ] I foresaw your weak rebuttal, but even my sight could not tell me how lame it would be.

[ Messing around, of course! ]

Tut, tut. It seems to be heavily ingrained, too. It will more than overstay.

Reading your palm, ah, I see it . . look here . . an elongated bitch line.

// need 2 be here i love my girl

// SLEEP WELL DORK

I would never dream of it.

[ Then again, she doesn't seem to dream much anymore. Or sleep. ]

I only use it to help, whenever possible.

. . or, of course, when I'm blessed and overcome with an important vision.

"Hm."

Dropping whatever is left of the wrappings, both hands raise, gently cupping the face of them as she stares. Blue eyes focus on them and nothing else, glowing softly.

" . . 'Phantom'," she breathes out, smile never wavering. "It suits you, don't you think?"

i am going to get such a good grade in being normal and socializing

How long has it been since she's uttered her own name?

It takes a moment to respond, her eyes dulling a moment, only to light up again.

"Celestria. That is my name." A pause. She already knows it, but . . "And yours?"

Do they?

[ Head tilting again, as her eyes softly glow. ]

. . three days.

// celestria can be cute. as a treat for me

the motion of the previous wrapper.

Around, around, over, careful of the wounds, pull it just a bit tighter . . and secure.

" . . is that good? Did I do it correctly?"

There's a certain eagerness to her tone, lips lifting into a small smile.

Gentle hands take the wrapping, nose scrunching as she takes a moment to really focus. She . . has done this before, hasn't she? Wrapped a wound?

A noise of contemplation escapes her, as she takes a moment to pick a certain memory from their own past.

As it plays, she reaches forward, following

Incredibly wise, as always, Akhrous.

[ My, even she can realize she's laying it on thick, flushing in embarrassment after as her ears pin back. ]

That means the / world / to me to hear from you. I thank you, once again, for trusting me with such a Gift. It has changed my life.

. . .

Slowly, she nods. How long has it been since she has touched a living person . . ?

"I can. But I cannot promise amazing results. My vision is far from what it used to be."

. . isn't it? Or has she always been this hazed?

[ It's refreshing. Most people react with hesitance, or worse, fear. Dealing with them after is . . less than stellar for her. ]

Hm . . [ She pauses, eyes glazing a moment. ]

. . if you're swift, you will find her far before them. Act before the full moon. Any later and the results will be messy.

[ Can you blame her for being starstruck? Such an honor, especially to be remembered. She beams, head tilting. ]

I should have expected you'd remember, hm?

I hope you know I've been treating my Gift with care. I've honored it well.

Pausing, she turns slowly towards them.

" . . how can I assist you, jackal?"

Poor thing. They don't even know their own story.

Humming, quietly running her hands through a long quill as she stares forward.

You should be careful with those.

[ Her eyes drift towards Zeena, not quite looking at her. More like through her. ]

Something big will happen. Good or bad, that will depend.

// i also think celestria has a very Breathy tone. not entirely quiet but oddly soothing.

she can't help but to know random things as well. often forgets people aren't happy that a stranger can know so Much about them because she tends to stay isolated.

// at this point i need to make a headcanon post

Your leave? Your departure?

The Hex wasn't so forgiving, was it? That's sad. You deserved better, don't you think?

Freedom is quite nice.

[ Staring forward. ]

// [ points at akhrous ] thats basically an oracles jesus. anyways

Another Zeti. How has your runaway been?

[ Even in the haze of her vision, she'd recognize Him anywhere. The energy He gives off certainly helps.

Hands are immediately brought together, body stiffening as she shows her respect. ]

Great Akhrous. An immense pleasure.

[ A living sacrifice. one cursed with Sight. What a life to live.. ]

( Could it be . . – ? )

// "how long has celestria been around"

never ask a lady her age man .

( before the echidnas went and got themselves basically extinct )
