…And never let go?

I know I’m Superwoman, I know I’m strong I know I’ve got this ‘cause I’ve had it all along I’m phenomenal and I’m enough I don’t need you to tell me who to be

Can someone just hold me? Don’t fix me, don’t try to change a thing Can someone just know me? 'Cause underneath, I’m broken and it’s beautiful

Leila(Suseri-hime)’s tiger companion, Asha. She came up with the name helping him think of one. Leila had been spending some time with members of Egypt’s pantheon, which gave her the idea for the name.

Squinting her eyes shut she grimaced and twitched slightly, she needed to find someone to help her break this link.  There is no way she could keep going on with these emotions, nor would she vouch safe his passage again.  Taking a deep breath she gathered a shield around her that would help keep most of this at bay before setting off to someone she hoped could possibly help her...and if not might know someone who could.

For the little redhead.

TENDERNESS

You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behavior, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naive about people’s dark sides. But at your best you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathize. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.

EXHIBITIONISM

There’s a strand in your nature which loves making an impression – perhaps with your clothes, or conversation, or in a self-revealing blog or a novel. You like to dramatize yourself, to pose as a unique, perhaps mysterious person, to joke or exaggerate your part in adventures. Though you might more than once have been called a show off, it is actually a generous tendency: you want to please and entertain others. It could be the start of good teaching and leadership.

(wasn’t sure I agreed with this part till I read it all the way through, she really does just want everyone to be happy and with her personality yeah...I can see how others would take that as showing off...)

RESILIENCE

You have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards restriving. What attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action – overcoming weakness, repressing your fear. Because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. But at heart, tour insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy.

For my little blonde

SHYNESS

Part of you is gripped by the fear that you’ll launch into something and completely mess it up. The upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. Probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much. But when you do feel in your element, you act with a wisdom and sensitivity never found in people with thicker skins.

ORDERLINESS

You love it when everything is neat and tidy: when there is a proper way of doing things, and you can tick things off the to-do list and know where everything is. So others, at times, are to you unbearably sloppy and messy. And you run into things that can’t be ordered (a child, a partner, a colleague at work) which drives you slightly nuts. But your desire for order is a good one when it is focussed where it is needed and when you’re okay with a bit of mess.

PLAYFULNESS

You are good at seeing what’s funny, at relaxing and finding the pleasure of the moment. Play is random, whimsical, fantasy-driven behaviour which releases internal tension. Because it is detached from some pressures it allows you to act on weirder, perhaps neglected, parts of yourself. The downside is that it is no help in sticking with things that are not much fun but which need to be addressed. So it is well complemented by its opposite, Stoicism.

Taking out a sheet of fresh paper Leila sat down at her desk and quietly drummed her fingers for a moment before writing.

Dear Lux,

We are yet unsure what the results of last night were, we are hoping our solution works.  Haylee had many suggestions but the most viable one was to try and build a shield of some type.  Closing the portal in any way could possibly end his...current existence.  He seemed not as feral after we finished so that I suppose is a good thing.

I asked Haylee to bond herself to him through her blood so that she could track him should this ever happen again.  She agree and started the process, however when she attempted to get the required blood from him there was none.  There was a thick blood ooze that seemed to kind of blob out of him, the smell was rather disgusting as well.  Jenny and Bobby can confirm this as well should you need it.  Haylee is not only certain he is no longer living in the regular sense, but also that he is a construct being controlled by someone else and that the portal is possibly part of that as well.  He feeds on life-force, she suspects if he stays in his cell currently he has about two days left before he would do whatever passed for death in his condition.  He would need a constant supply of life-force as it also seems to be draining out him.  I have asked Haylee to stay and assist us with this, she has agreed.

I am certainly not one to say ick, or be put off by strange things growing up in the family that I did, but I will say there are a few alarming things here.  I am unsure at this point if your friend is even aware that he is even a construct.  I am also unsure exactly how long the shield I constructed will hold.  Should it fail then he could once again return to think we were tasty snacks or he could simply start following whatever orders he was given.  There are choices that will have to be made and I certainly don’t envy you them right now.  I have not spoken to anyone else about this as I feel that could do more harm than good in the end.  Jenny and Bobby are aware as they were still there but I am sure you trust their discretion.  Haylee will keep things to herself as well.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I plan to stay on in the Canyon with Haylee for the foreseeable future.  Should you have questions for Haylee herself you can most like find her taking over a kitchen making wonderful tasting things for everyone.  

May Lyssa give us guidance in this troubling time.

Leila summoned a clone, put the letter in an envelope, scrawled URGENT along the front of it next to Lux’s name and sent to clone off to find her.  Rising for a moment she pulled out two or three texts and set them on her desk noting the one she wanted wasn’t there.  She quickly penned a list and attached it to Trek sending him back to the Estate to find her brother.  She would rather know more about what they were dealing with at this point and while her Father wasn’t exactly above board...his collection about the topic of Necromancy was still one of the best around.  She let out a long suffering sight and started paging through the texts she did have making notes.

Thankfully Haylee

Leila snuggled into her bed, hair now free of tangles thanks to Haylee’s gentle brushing and her hand healed just leaving a faint scar of teething marks on it.  Upon returning to the Canyon Haylee had gone with her as she checked the stones and replaced them quickly to give them a bit more time than before. Haylee had set wards around her room to strengthen Leila's own wards so that she might be able to get a decent nights rest which they were both going to need.  She was glad she had been able to connect with Haylee, if anyone knew how to get rid of piggybackers it was her.  Settling down into the bed she wrote a quick note to Lux appraising her of the situation before sending it off with a clone and then closing her eyes and focusing on sleep.

“Lux,

I have a friend with me in the Canyon who might be able to assist us.  I know you are busy, do you wish to be there with us when we attempt this or should be just proceed without you?  I will do as much as I can to try and help your friend.”

Lyssa bless you.
