To say I was caught off-guard when the odd-colored Mismagius appeared was a bit of an understatement, for I immediately felt myself tense as my bladed tail nearly went into striking position before I caught myself.
Letting out a sheepish laugh, silently chastising myself for my reaction. “There is no need to address me with such honorifics, I am fine with simply being called Silence.” I smile a kind smile at the new spirit. “And there is no harm done, but I accept your apology nevertheless.”
When Nox told me that he needs to cut this conversation short, I opened my mouth to say that it was no problem...until he brought up the topic of ‘collecting souls from the spirit world’.
...Souls?
...
The stories of Dusknoir are true, they truly are shepherds of the spirit world.
With newfound respect I could only clasp my hands together and bow my head. “No need.” I simply say. “I fully understand, hitsujikai. If your duties call, then there is no need to apolo-”
“Aha! Silence!” A voice suddenly calls, causing me to stop mid-sentence. I turn my head to see who it is...and much to my surprise it’s Hale. Said Machamp hybrid is approaching me with Sinfonia floating by his side.
“We're sorry for interrupting your conversation, dearie.” The Chimecho smiles apologetically. “But Nightshade is gathering us all together, for we have formulated a plan to stop the threat that we were summoned here for.”
“Indeed!” The Machamp shouts, his tone and mannerisms filled with bravado as always. “It is time for action!” The strongman flexes all four of his arms, causing the giant muscles to bulge. “AHA! I have been waiting for this moment! I can feel the adrenaline flowing within me, to use my strength to defeat a creature most odd and foul!”
I could only blink a few times at the display before turning back to Nox and his companion, my face flushing slightly with embarrassment. “...It appears that I am being summoned as well.” I laugh quietly. “Nevertheless, I do hope that our paths cross again. I greatly enjoy meeting new faces, so I will give my word that once things have settled...I will seek you out so that we may talk again.”
I bow my head for one last time. “Until then, sayōnara kōkina seishin.”
Zel@Dolce: "Hiya, hiya! It's always nice meeting another mismagius (a fellow shiny, too)! I uh, I was just wondering, but," He curiously glanced over at the ocean, "What is it that you're looking for here? It's nothing but water! And, well, I don't think our kind can swim." He smiled nervously.
Dolce: Because you’re right. I would be swept away by the current like a plastic bag. I have some treasure hunting on land to do anyway, keheheh.
Leliel-2: ...Incredible, really. I... actually forgot what the night sky looked like. Twenty years of nothing but heavy clouds and dust storms can.. kinda.. have that effect.
