Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)
Listening to Lacrimosa tell her that the lost souls couldn't enter a building uninvited made her feel a bit less frightened of the thing, but she still didn't feel truly safe despite being reassured by the nun that it couldn't get at her any. After she was done and went to tell Rachaela what Lacri had told her, she found that Rachaela had found the thing in one of her books, where she then found out also that it had been the lost soul of a man, which sent a shudder down Adelle's back as she remembered all of the men at the wrestling place and pretty much most of the men in the city she'd passed stealing glances at her large breasts, making her believe that might have been what was attracting the lost soul to her now that she knew... well that coupled with the fact that she threw a rock at it to draw its attention away from the passerby on the other end of the alley she'd been in.
"Thanks Rachaela, now at least I have a pretty good idea as to why it kept following me after I ran away from it instead of just going back to the alley to wait for someone else to come along, or to go back after the person I threw the rock at it to draw it away from. Because that was a guy, and since it was a male lost soul it makes sense that it would come after me, a girl, rather than the man it started to go after. At least it makes sense to me anyway, but I don't know how the lost souls work really," Adelle said to Rachaela when the mage sister was done. "Also, if you don't mind, tomorrow evening sometime I'd like as you if you mind teaching me some magic of some sort. If it's possible for me to learn any magic that is at least," Adelle added before she left Rachaela's study, asking the mage sister if she would teach her some magic at the earliest convenience for the both of them.
After that, making a mental note to keep an eye out for that particular lost soul as well as any others she passed by, Adelle went to grab her other glass of wine where she was joined by Isabella, where they talked for a while about guns and what happened during the day. "Yeah I think it's a fairly shady like place too, but they assured me that the girls there are protected at all costs and they have quite a few guards to ensure that they remain safe, as well as the girls themselves for the most part could probably handle themselves unless greatly outnumbered," Adelle said to Isabella when the gunner sister voiced her concerns about Adelle going to the wrestling place. "I won my first match though, which I got paid a bit more than I would have gotten paid had I lost, so I'm happy. And the majority of the girls there are pretty nice, though they did tell me that on occasion there are injuries when someone goes too far, but as far as I know there's never been any deaths," Adelle added, hoping to ease Isabella's fears for her.
After she was through with her wine and had helped with any dishes, Adelle headed on upstairs to her bedroom where she stripped down to her skimpy thong and prepared to climb into bed. Then Lacri came in and climbed into the bed next to her, which made Adelle smile and feel quite a bit safer to say the least. "Alright... thanks Lacri," Adelle said as she climbed on into bed and shut off the lamp to go to sleep, hoping that it would come quickly so that she would be well rested for tomorrow.
