[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed, "Noth-" Before he could even get a word out Holden was storming off to the bathroom. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Humans..I tell you Mystic, never date outside your species. Ah, don't get me wrong. I love that man, but sometimes their personality quirks get rather annoying." He glanced to the door and moved down the hall, motioning for the demon to step over.

Mystic hurried over, rather worried, "She keeps asking for you and Holden, him the most. What do you want me to do? I can't reattach her to a human, it's far too late for that. Azriel had to bind her to the doll because we didn't have a body prepared for her and if we would've just thrown her into one, she would've ended up in a situation worse than Serus's. Are you familiar with the incident between the Antinoris and Azriel a few years back?" He kept his voice low, but at this point, he was sure Holden knew who he was talking about so he wasn't all that concerned.

Solomon nodded, "I am...and the girl, Ariel?"

Mystic nodded, "Correct. Ariel was originally supposed to be attached to a body very similar to her old demon self, but for some reason the body rejected her. As per orders, we had to keep Ariel in this plane, and I cannot elaborate further on why. Anyway, back on track, so Azriel and I had to improvise and attach Ariel to an almost life-sized Marionette. After she was solidly in the doll, we had to construct a mechanical skeleton for her to control, and so on and so forth. It was painstakingly hard to get the intricate metal-work under the Marionette's 'skin' so she could move. We constructed a similar device for her so we could communicate since she is unable to speak. I also taught her English with not so..conventional means..." He paused a moment, running his hand through his hair; careful of his hat, "She's still adjusting to this whole..way of life so to say."

Solomon silenced Mystic, "I don't want her near Holden yet. Once he's gathered up some strength and has had some time with Alicia, I will consider it. For now, just keep her locked up in a case or something." He looked away, slightly peeved that she of all people, had to be back. He was still rather miffed at her for what she put Holden through.
