[There is a moment where Yorda seems hesitant. It's hard to tell since her bangs are in severe need of a trim, but her brow is furrowed. She had promised China she wouldn't say anything yet, but she hadn't been forbidden to ask questions.]

[She screws her courage to the sticking point, sets her jaw, and looks at the screen, resolute.]

There was a time when the stones that hold - [She hesitates. Use your words, Yorda.]

...the soul-gems. There was a time when some were taken.

I would like to know about this.

You ever had training?

[shroudofgray]

No. It would have been forbidden. But Solomon Wreath is teaching me some things now. I do not know if my magic can be turned to hurt others, but I do wish to know how to stop it if it can.

[justno]

Don't use battle magic and don't try to do anything outside your abilities. That's how people get hurt.

Who's this Solomon Wreath dude?

[shroudofgray]

[She gives a serious nod, taking mental note of his advice.]

Solomon Wreath makes shadows dance and he is very good friends with Raine who is a healer. They live together.

[justno]

I know Raine. They together?

Where I'm from, making shadows dance isn't always a good thing.

[shroudofgray]

They live together, yes.

It is not always a good thing where I am from either, but Solomon Wreath's shadows are not like the wraiths.

[justno]

Huh.

What are they like?

[shroudofgray]

Different. They do not feel like broken things or cut things.

[justno]

Do they feel like they're way too powerful or unstable? Or like they want to expand to where they shouldn't?

[shroudofgray]

No. Just echoes of himself.

[justno]

Huh. Weird. Can I see them?

[shroudofgray]

Yes.

He does stories with them on the streets.

[justno]

I can't wait. [Such dry, so sarcasm.]
