A young warlock led them into another room, similar to one that Dalia was in but bigger and instead of the one bed, it was prepared for two and on asking, there had been many guardians who'd preferred not to do this alone. The twins asked if they could keep their parents company and since the light didn't affect the light walkers, they were allowed but warned that it could potentially be dangerous, not the twins cared and with that, they found themselves locked in the room.

Elsie Immediately looked uncomfortable and paranoid, pacing anxiously before looking pained as she was starting to slip into an anxiety attack, she was beginning to look quite unwell. Skye looked just as uncomfortable but tried her best to keep elsie calm, with the twins careful help, they managed to get her to lay down and Skye took up the other bed beside her, reaching out to hold Elsie's hand supportively, despite her own fear. The twins carefully sat beside their beds despite the potential danger and each held one of their parents hands, their ghosts were set carefully beside them.

It felt like it took forever to start, the room became bright, blindingly so that the twins had to cover their eyes and a comforting warmth washed over the room, it was different however for their parents as they looked confused before letting out pained whimpers, however that changed to cries of pain and breathless gasps, elsie in particular seemed to take it better to start with. The light started in their hands and feet but spread quickly up their arms and and legs, it took longer to get though the rest of them and particularly their heart which seemed to be the most painful part and Skye in particular squirmed painfully as she started to cry, elsie however seemed to become super sluggish and as the light dimmed, they were both left looking exhausted, Elsie however fell unconscious after a brief dazed look.

Nisra who held skyes hand, carefully squeezed her hand and Skye flinched with a whimper before looking with confusion at the cause 'nisra...' she murmured 'what happened...'

'You got taken...' nisra replied gently 'do you remember...'

Skye looked unsure before nodding 'vaguely...' she sighed weakly 'that explains the pain...'

'Are you ok? Or ok enough...' nisra asked carefully.

Skye nodded 'it will pass' she murmured 'I just need to rest... wheres hope...' she begun to look around with worry before noticing elsie 'elsie..? Why is... did she get taken too?' She asked with weak concern.

'Yeah... you both did...' nisra replied.

'Is she ok?' Skye asked with more worry, shifting with a pained whimper to face her, bringing a hand to the titans cheek 'why is she so cold...' she whispered with fear.

Varun carefully attempted to stir elsie but after a moment it was clear that elsie was out of it completely 'i don't know what's going on... she just went unconscious..' he explained fearfully.

Nisra looked worried 'wait, is mum ok?'

Skye gently shifted to sit up, tearing up 'elsie... baby, please wake up...' she begged quietly, gently trying to stir her. It took a good minute before elsie finally stirred weakly with a heavy cough and she immediately coughed up a lot of blood looking dazed and she threatened to fall into sleep again.

Varun got up in a rush 'I'll get help' he muttered in a rush before racing out of the room, it was barely a minute before a warlock came in quickly and held out her ghost to scan the titan and the warlock looked surprised before looking equally as concerned and without another word, she snatched up sparks before rushing out of the room 'I'll be back' she muttered quickly.

Skye looked confused but settled on lifting the very sick looking titan into her arms gently despite her own pain 'what's wrong? She asked with fear 'why is she dying...' she muttered tearfully.

'She was sick before... but we thought the light would fix it' nisra offered weakly 'is she really dying?' She asked with shock, tearing up.

Elsie didn't respond, but it was clear she was hurting as she cried silently, blood escaped where previously it had been black sludge and she weakly Brought a hand up to her chest, her breathing was shallow and she was clearly struggling to stay awake. Skye looked distraught 'what do you mean... she was sick? Where's sparks?' She asked before noticing her own ghost and she picked it up with her spare hand as realisation set in 'sparks is broken... isn't she...' she looked at elsie with tearful horror 'no... this isn't happening again... not again' she whimpered 'I can't lose you again...' she begged, cuddling elsie close 'please... don't leave..'

Elsie couldn't respond as she fell unconscious in her arms going limp, she however managed to hold on for the moment and nisra shifted to hold her mothers hand looking upset 'why is this happening?'

It felt like a long few minutes before Varun returned and it was a moment too late as elsie let out a last weak breath before her heart stopped much to her watching families horror and his heart sank on seeing his distraught family 'is she gone?' He asked weakly. After reviving a nod he teared up looking lost before holding out his hand 'what happened pour?'

Skye looked a bit confused at this but being so upset, she didn't comment, pour however floated over to scan elsie 'its like she has acid burns all through her body... is a miracle she survived this long, she internally bled to death' he explained weakly.

Skye looked shocked 'what?'

Pour looked to skye before scanning her 'you have the same burns too, just not to the same degree... it's probably what hurts so much' he observed.

'So maybe she was taken too long...' rain added, appearing beside pour 'or Dalia, she spoke about Anne dying to reset her body... maybe we should have waited for her to do the same...' she looked guilty 'we didn't know she was that sick...'

Skye despite looking upset, had now seen two ghosts spawn seeming from her children and it was enough to shock her 'who are you guys?' She remained cuddling elsie however looking defeated.

The ghosts looked surprised 'oh, right, you've never met us before... uh, I'm rain' nisra's nodded.

'And I'm pour' varuns ghost replied 'we belong to Varun and nisra' he explained 'its a complicated story...' he trailed off.

'It's a pleasure... we were going to surprise both of you...' rain admitted shyly.

It took a moment for Skye to process the words 'did you guys die?' She asked with an afraid whisper 'did something happen?'

Nisra shook her head and wiped away some tears 'no, nothing like that, we promise... they were gifts, we will tell you about it later, promise' she sniffed tearfully 'can sparks fix this?'

'Sparks can fix this right?' Varun asked weakly.

Skye teared up 'I don't know, if it takes too long... I don't know...' she trailed off. Rain looked at elsie thoughtfully before scanning hope curiously and Skye looked at her with confusion 'what are you doing?'

'I had a thought...' rain muttered and after a moment, she nodded and looked to pour 'where did they take sparks?'

'Follow me' he motioned before floating to the door and phasing to the other side, rain following. Varun watched them go with confusion but nobody stopped them. Pour led the way to the library section and went to the front counter where there was three warlock talking together looking stressed.

as the two ghosts approached rain floated forward 'hey, are you guys fixing sparks?'

An older male looked up 'yes, I'm going to have to ask you to ask questions later, we are in a situation'

'Well elsie is dead... if that changes things...' rain replied 'but I have an idea'

The three looked shocked at that 'she was that weak... there's no time...' a female whispered looking pained 'there's no way...'

'You have an idea?' The older male replied weakly.

Rain nodded and looked to pour 'swap me and sparks out, she can borrow my shell' she looked to the warlocks 'we just need a system that pour can link us both up'

Pour nodded 'it will be easy'

The warlocks looked uncertain and shared a few glances and whispers but after a moment they stepped back 'uh, go ahead...' they replied.

Pour immediately started checking out the screens they were working on and free a moment, nodded 'easy, so rain, I need to sit on this pad' he floated over to it and rain did as she was told, settling on a black pad and it lit up as she did, he then checked sparks who was settled on a pad beside her, he then busied himself with the screen 'this is going to be rough but I'll make sure you get fixed, promise' rain looked a bit frightened but the words seemed to help.

The warlocks watched with curiosity and after a moment, the two ghosts seemed to flicker in sync before rain blacked out briefly. She flickered back on after a moment and instantly started floating, looking confused 'what... where... this isn't my...' rain expanded and looked around before looking thoughtful 'well it doesn't matter...' she looked around at the room this time 'the library? Why am I... and where is elsie...' she muttered as she scanned 'ugh, this technology is so basic...'.

Pour floated over 'sparks right?'

'Yes, but I'm busy, give me five' she replied before floating off 'I need to find my guardian'.

Pour looked to the warlock 'continue fixing her shell, please...' and then she tried to keep up with sparks 'I know where elsie is!'

Sparks turned to look at her with worry 'how is she, I can't pick her up?'

'Follow me' pour motioned 'Elsie's gone, we need your help, which is why I put you in my sisters shell'

Sparks looked scared 'gone? What the hell killed her? And sisters shell? I have no idea what your talking about'

'I'll explain later' pour assured before leading the way back to the families room.

As they arrived back to the room, nothing much had changed but Varun looked at his ghost questioningly 'where did you guys go?'

'Just trust me, it's a bit weird but it will work' he assured.

Sparks followed him and instantly stopped on seeing elsie 'oh no...' she muttered weakly 'how long... did I take her too?' She looked upset as she floating over to elsie and scanned her and instantly looked guilty '...the pain...'

Nisra looked unsure at her ghosts strange behaviour 'rain? Are you ok?'

'Rain...? Who's rain...' she muttered looking at nisra 'please don't speak to me for a minute... I need to think' she replied, turning her attention back to elsie leaving nisra shocked. Sparks looked irritated 'what is this shell... nothing is where it should be...' she complained with annoyance.

Skye looked a bit surprised 'sparks?... uh, what do you need, can I help?'

'What do i need...' she muttered 'my shell would be nice... and no...' she sighed 'right, I think I got it...' she started scanning Elsie's form, after a few minutes and more annoyed muttering from sparks, she finally expanded her shell and forced her light into Elsie's chest, and after a brief silence, elsie woke with a gasp 'such a drama queen' sparks sighed.

Elsie looked around with fuzzy confusion before groaning as she went to move 'what the hell happened to me?'.

'You went off and died without me again' sparks accused.

Elsie flinched before looking at the ghost with confusion 'uh.. sparks?'

'Yes! Of course I'm sparks, no one else can save your sorry ass' she muttered.

Elsie smiled with a chuckle 'sorry, you look different, come here' she held up a hand and sparks settled on it gratefully 'are you ok?'

Sparks looked torn 'well other than this shell being basic as all hell, I'm confused as to how I got here and confused as to why you ended with acid burns inside you, I'm great!' She then looked upset 'the last I remember is you tying me up because I was glitching out... did I take you?'

Elsie held the ghost lovingly to her chest 'I don't think so, although my memory is a bit fuzzy right now. It's good to see you' she sighed before coughing up blood.

As a general rule, it was always polite to let a guardian and their ghost speak after something like this, now that they finished, Skye spoke 'you scared us...' she admitted weakly.

Elsie looked up to her 'my apologies, I didn't mean it, are you ok?'

'Now I am' she nodded with a tearful sigh 'your so obnoxious...'

Elsie just chuckled 'I know, have I mentioned it before, how comfortable you are?' She shifted to nuzzle her comfortably.

Skye nodded 'you may have mentioned it...'

Now that it was clear that everything was alright, nisra's concern had made way for confusion 'so, uh, why is rain acting funny?'

Sparks gently broke free from Elsie's hand and floated up 'who is rain? It's everywhere in this shell...'

'Rain is my ghost...' nisra replied.

'Your ghost, you don't have a ghost...' she looked confused before looking to pour 'you, explain' she ordered.

Pour nodded 'Well I may have swapped you out of your shell... but it was the only way to help elsie, so rain gave you her shell and she is in yours since it's broken at the moment, and we do belong to Varun and nisra... look up memory start and I can prove it'

Sparks frowned 'but then when did you die...' she trailed off as she looked thoughtful and then looked shocked 'you didn't... but that's... and was that Dalia?!' She looked fried 'so your both guardians...' she looked to the twins 'unbelievable'

'Surprise...' the twins replied weakly.

Elsie sat up with a pained groan with skyes gentle assistance 'excuse me?' She asked expectantly.

'It's true' sparks assured.

'Real guardians?' Skye added looking unsure.

'Real enough they could throw themselves off the tower and be fine' sparks nodded 'they are... about a week old...'

'Yeah we are...' pour agreed before looking to sparks with admiration 'your so quick...'

'Comes with practice' she replied.

Elsie was quiet for a long minute 'ok, sure... let's just go with that...' she muttered 'congratulations i suppose... what's the situation with the tower?' She asked.

Sparks cut in before anyone else could reply 'I just looked, the taken infestation is clear, they discovered how to safeguard the ghosts and according to this, Anne is the last taken guardian left, according to this; her reasons are personal'

Elsie looked concerned 'while I'm not totally surprised...' she sighed 'ok, I'll go talk to her' she muttered.

Skye gently grabbed her shoulder 'elsie, you need rest, your exhausted'

Elsie shook her head 'I'm fine, a little pain is nothing' she replied.

'Mum please... you've done enough... Anne can wait, she isn't harming anyone' Varun assured.

'Yeah, you set her straight before you were taken, she's been mildly annoying but harmless, seriously, you should rest' nisra added.

Skye looked surprised 'really?'

'They are correct, all reports on Anne mention sketchy behaviour but nothing harmful' sparks floated over to elsie 'plus, you may be alive but I know your feeling that last death... there's no way you aren't...' she accused.

Elsie sighed looking defeated 'ok ok, but there's no way I'm staying here' she muttered 'I feel like I'm in prison' she continued 'I'd like to move while I can' she admitted.

The twins while a little reluctant got up and helped elsie to her feet and the pain was clear with every move, Skye had silimiar trouble before she gagged and threw up a bloody mix of poison and elsie offered to carry her home despite her own body. As they headed past the front counter they were stopped 'uh, you really shouldn't be leaving yet... not in your condition'

'Thank you for the concern but I'd like to go home' elsie admitted.

'At least let us fix your ghosts' they argued.

Skye looked a bit unsure before nodding and reluctantly handed over Hope 'send her to Elsie's when she is feeling better'.

They nodded and took hope with care 'and what of... the ghosts that swapped...' they looked unsure 'don't they need to do that here?'

'Oh, well I can do that at home I think, but just send rain home with hope, she will be fine and I'll switch them back later' pour ordered 'it's fine'. While the warlocks weren't really sure they should because of their condition, they reluctantly let the group go because titans were generally stubborn so the chances of keeping elsie there was low, even without the darkness powers.

It felt like a long walk, but once home, everyone seemed to lighten up although elsie had trouble relaxing, she didn't particularly feel like talking for the moment and it was only once she'd tidied her room up and showered stiffly that she allowed herself to rest and even then she looked troubled. Skye was already asleep by the time elsie sat down with her helm of saint-14 and started polishing it in an attempt to relax, settling in the lounge room as not to disturb Skye in her bedroom.

'Hey, welcome back to the light elsie' Anne mused, stepping out of the darkness behind her, she playfully leaned over her.

Elsie not expecting it jumped before flinching which snowballed into her dropping her helmet 'Anne...' she groaned 'a pleasure as slways...' she muttered.

Anne walked around to pick up the dropped helmet 'sorry... I wasn't expecting to actually surprise you...' she admitted 'you doing ok?' She looked quietly concerned.

Elsie nodded stiffly 'yeah... just a bit sore...' she replied weakly 'I was wondering where you were'

The hunter shrugged 'oh you know... shenanigans, freaking people out...' she offered the helmet back 'is your helmet alright?'

Elsie took it and looked it over carefully 'well if saint-14 can headbutt a captain with this thing, I'm sure it's fine' she admitted.

Anne looked confused 'what? Who's saint-14... it sounds familiar but the name escapes me' she replied.

Elsie smiled 'the titan vanguard before Zavala, he left the city but I don't know why, he was a legendary defender titan' she sighed looking distant with admiration 'you told me once that you found his grave... that even the vex treated him as an equal...'

Anne chuckled and settled beside elsie 'the story sounds vaguely familiar, perhaps I know it in my light walking form' she mused 'but to be a hero of yours... he must have been incredible' she admitted.

Elsie looked unsure 'why's that?'

Anne looked thoughtful 'well your quite heroic yourself... even when your taken' she admitted 'it's a nice trait you have there' she smiled.

Elsie seemed unconvinced 'I don't believe that for a second, last time...' she sighed 'I just don't believe it' she muttered.

'Oh, but you were a hero of the tower' Anne leaned over 'it's true, we all saved the lightwalkers, you, Skye, myself and Dalia... ask Ikora next time you see her' she mused.

Elsie sighed 'you sound like your trying to sell me bullshit' she did give the hunter a small smile though 'so what did I get up too, you've piqued my curiousity'

Anne chuckled 'well your temper as always was explosive, you almost strangled Skye before breaking out of your house in an explosive fashion, it would have been spectacular if you didn't scare all the guards in the tower' she mused.

Elsie looked shocked before blushing slightly 'what? Your lying right? Why would I do that? Wasn't I on your side...'

Anne bit her lip 'well...' she looked like she difficulty finding the words for a moment 'you were still at io... it was... you might have been fine but Skye tried talking to you and you weren't having it... and you left' she sighed 'you didn't even know where you were'

Elsie looked distant 'huh... I'm not entirely surprised then' she admitted.

Anne looked at elsie 'your still the hardest thing I've ever had to look at... my grief was nothing to yours' she bit her lip 'but you did a good job of freaking out a bunch of guardians, you almost got yourself killed... but I had your back' she assured 'I even figured out how your defenses worked and fixed them for you, that was cool' she mused.

Elsie looked to the hunter 'so do I need to thank you? Is that what your getting at?' She asked with amusement.

'Well it would be nice' Anne teased before waving her off 'no, I don't expect that, you were never supposed to join us' she sighed 'I'm sorry that you were taken...' she looked guilty 'you didn't deserve it... if we had a choice you would never have returned to the darkness, it doesn't suit you'

The titan pulled Anne into a tender hug 'there's the heart I know you have' she mused 'I forgive you'

Anne gave her a gentle hug 'how was your turning? You were pretty unwell before you turned...' she looked a little worried.

Elsie looked displeased 'well not that I remember much more than blurred light... but I died, apparently my insides really didn't appreciate the darkness, Sparks was complaining about acid burns that she had to fix, that and the new ghost she had to use to do it'

Anne bit her lip 'you know I really wasn't sure it was a good idea to turn you back before you had a chance to respawn' she admitted 'I didn't know if the bodily damage would follow you...'

Elsie looked to her 'you knew about this?'

'Well yeah, I'd died a few hours earlier from the same thing' she shrugged 'remember Before your turning?' She lifted a hand to sweep away black stuff from the corner of her mouth 'this stuff is pretty much slow acting acid, it will always kill you eventually, but with you, it seemed particularly effective... took you down a lot quicker then both Skye and I' she admitted.

Elsie looked thoughtful before nodding 'I do remember that happening... my opinion on it hasn't changed' she sighed 'it's cruel, I don't understand why you would let that happen'

'Well you seemed pretty set on staying in the darkness for a while there' Anne replied 'the darkness has its benefits and negatives'.

Elsie looked surprised at this 'I wanted to stay?' She asked quietly 'why...'

'Self punishment mostly...' she sighed 'but Dalia also visited us... she particularly wanted to talk to you... to tell you that she forgave you... I think you were hesitant to leave in one way because of her' she chuckled 'I can't judge you for it... I'm hung up on it myself' she admitted looking torn.

The titan was quiet for a long moment 'sounds like me... only usually I'm more subtle' she nodded '... I miss Dali...' she muttered weakly 'it sounds wrong to say it... she's a guardian now... but knowing what I know...' she teared up a little and swept them away with annoyance 'ridiculous' she muttered.

Anne put a hand on her shoulder 'you have a big heart, you just can't hide it when your taken...' she bit her lip 'and it's ok, I know the feeling' she sighed 'believe me...'

They shared a comforting look before elsie put on a smile 'so why didn't you come join the fun of turning back to the light?'

Anne leaned back lazily 'well, you know, it just sounded like too much fun than I was ready for...' she chuckled 'that and... Dalia...' she trailed off 'although I really do enjoy freaking people out, it's a cool side affect' she looked to elsie playfully 'you wanna see a trick?'

Elsie looked unsure 'uh, will I regret saying sure?'

Anne laughed 'no' she held up her hand and summoned her knife playfully, throwing it in to the air gracefully, black smoke trailing after it as it spun through the air.

Elsie looked surprised at this before looking uneasy noticing her shackles 'I was under the impression you couldn't do that...' she muttered.

Anne chuckled 'a present from the light, I just keep these on so I don't get too much light' she playfully motioned to her shackles 'plus, they make a pretty cool accessory' she teased.

Elsie sighed 'you give me so much anxiety' she replied flatly,

'I know, but, I haven't done anything yet so there's that' Anne mused.

Elsie seemed indecisive 'nothing that I can remember... at least since I've been walking in the light at least, I'll conveniently ignore before then'.

Anne smiled 'your the best, you know that'

'You know usually flattery doesn't get far' elsie replied with a raised eyebrow.

'Depends on who your trying to flatter' Anne teased 'do you really mind?'

The titan smiled with a chuckle 'I guess not...' she blushed lightly 'you know, frankly, I'm too sore for this'

'Oh but I'm not doing anything' Anne mused before leaning over 'I feel like that's a lame excuse though' she teased before getting up and pulling her helmet from her hands and setting it beside her as she playfully but gently sat on her making elsie blush worse.

'I uh...' elsie found it hard to word as she now faced the hunter who gave her a heart stopping cheeky smile '... the children...' she murmured weakly.

Anne being very careful not to hurt elsie leaned down to whisper in her ear 'that's another weak excuse...' she teased before shifting to place soft kisses on her neck making elsie take in a breath and clutch her fists, she then gently swept her hair behind her ear and eyed the titan with satisfaction. Elsie was captured by her and looked torn between hunger and responsibility. 'What will you do?' Anne teased.

'This isn't fair...' elsie replied quietly 'since when were you so confident'

'I just enjoy teasing' Anne admitted honestly before getting up with a cheeky smile.

There was a flicker of disappointment as elsie sighed 'your the worst' she cleared her throat 'you shouldn't do that'

Anne nodded 'well That's true, but you still haven't said you didn't like it...' she sat down beside her one more 'and I couldn't do it to skye' she admitted 'it is tempting however...'

Elsie bit her lip with a blush 'uh, well she possibly wouldn't mind if you asked...' she fiddled with her shirt awkwardly 'we have a simple relationship, but we both step outside every now and then' she admitted,

Anne looked a bit surprised 'opposite to your taken selves then... that's interesting to know though...' she chuckled 'the knight in shining armour herself wanders...'

Elsie blushed deeper 'yes... but no... sex is just sex, Skye is my only partner' she muttered 'at the end of the day, we both put work before everything else, we have the same priorities'

Anne looked thoughtful 'so do I have this right? Work, kids and then you guys? Not the most traditional thing you have there'

Elsie nodded 'it works, perhaps we'd like to see each other more, but that's where the odd fling come in to take care of those needs if one of us isn't around' she gave a coy smile 'or if we get bored'

Anne sighed 'it sounds too good to be true' she admitted.

Elsie shrugged 'we decided this a long time ago... when Dalia was still very little, although we are probably just as invested as a normal couple by this point... my brief death was... difficult... for everyone of course, but I've heard that Skye was quite disrupted by it'.

'Well frankly so was I... it's hard to believe you were ever dead' Anne sighed 'I just can't make myself believe it... even after seeing sparks dead in my hands'

Elsie looked thoughtful 'now you mention it, I was told that you assisted in sparks revival' she gave her a small smile 'thanks for that, I appreciate it'

'Dalia asked me for help, I merely gave it' she nodded 'I did not enjoy not having dust with me however... that was not fun in the least' she sighed.

Elsie got up tenderly before heading to the kitchen 'follow, I need a coffee'. Anne did as she was told with amusement and watched as elsie made herself a coffee 'I'd offer you one but I feel like it wouldn't agree with you'.

Anne shook her head 'I'll pass, but thanks, maybe next time'

Elsie leaned against the bench and enjoyed a sip with a content sigh 'it feels like I haven't been home in ages' she admitted 'how are you coping... your technically home but everything you are is wrong...'

Anne nodded 'well... i vaguely remember my place, yours is familiar because you trapped me here and skyes, well the place suits her but I didn't remember much of it before you dragged me there to be honest... no where really feels safe though... well no where but here with you anyway, you have that vibe I suppose'

Elsie chuckled 'Dalia used to say that as well, in fact I think my twins feel the same, they don't stay at skyes much... and admittedly her place is a bit cramped for my liking, but it could just be my armour too' she mused 'but there's other reasons I stay there'.

Anne nodded 'I bet... ' she looked curious 'so, tell me if I'm overstepping but what do you prefer... Light or dark Skye?'

Elsie almost spit out her coffee with a deep blush 'oh... uh... well' she cleared her throat 'it's complicated...' she muttered 'there's certainly things she can't do when she is waking in the light... but I'd say she is more loving in the light' she looked thoughtful 'there's always this... hungry edge to everything she does in the dark... I don't think her heart is entirely in it' she gave a coy smile 'not that I don't like that hunger... I can understand that... I'm guilty of it myself' she admitted.

Anne chuckled 'So your good with both?' She mused.

Elsie nodded 'well... yeah' she replied 'I probably shouldn't be... but I can't deny that she drove me crazy...' she sighed 'she did this thing with the light... made it move in me...' she bit her lip 'it's a bit depressing to know she will probably never be able to do that again'

Anne looked thoughtful 'ok, next question, why were you so ok with my attack earlier?'

Elsie looked at her with a blush 'because I rather... enjoy you' she admitted 'and being taken doesn't change much, your eyes are a bit creepy but the rest I can deal with...' she sighed 'and the touch of the taken... it's nice... not to mention you and I have... spent time together in the past'

Anne looked a bit surprised 'oh, I don't remember that...' she looked thoughtful 'perhaps that's why I am drawn to you'

'Drawn to me?' Elsie sipped her coffee before setting it down beside and looked to the hunter.

The hunter nodded with a blush 'well yes, this form doesn't exactly award... well that sort of comfort... not many want to approach me let alone... well my needs cant necessarily be met currently' she sighed with some frustration.

Elsie looked thoughtful 'you could just go back to the light...'

The hunter rolled her eyes 'well I could... but I'm not keen for the fun that comes with it...'

Elsie chuckled 'that's fair...' she bit her lip 'tell you what, let's go for a walk' she finished her coffee before motioning for Anne to follow and Anne did so.
