The house of the Spectre was strangely blurred. As if it wasn't truly there. But the door was solid enough, as Rylai knocked on it. Lanaya tried to get a focus on the contours of the building but the only thing that happened was that her eyes began to tear up and the house blurred even more. Great.
The Spectre, as she opened the door, was blurred like that, too. Her shape seemed to be in a constant state of movement so one couldn't see where her body ended. The only thing that was fixed where her eyes. They were two bright glowing orbs in the dark mass of her face.
"Ah, the Crystal Maiden." Her voice was ethereal somehow and sing-songy, not like any Lanaya had ever heard. Not like any that could come from normal vocal cords. "What could a teeny-tiny human like you want from me?"
"It's Halloween. Trick or treat!"
"Halloween? I see. But I have to disappoint you. I don't eat and therefore I don't possess any treats." She leaned closer and the Templar Assassin tensed. She didn't want someone as dangerous as the Spectre so close to Rylai.
But the creature only inhaled once before she straightened again. "Hmmm, and I don't think you need any more treats. You smell liked sweetness and colours, like easiness and cheerfulness. Like you yourself are a treat. Now move on little delight. I can't help you and I'd seriously advice you not to do any tricks here. My house is partly from a different dimension and we don't want you to get sucked into that one, do we?"
The Spectre hummed softly and Rylai smiled. "No, we don't want that. Thank you, though, for the nice words and the warning."
"It was a pleasure to meet you, sweet mage. Enjoy the day." For a moment her gaze moved over to Lanaya. "You too, delicate elf. May your weapon always find its mark and your shield stay strong."
Then she was gone. She didn't walk back into her house, she disappeared. And the door slowly shut itself in front of the Maiden.
