[Evil Tink]

She frowned, watching the street below them, "He was a vampire after all...it's to be expected. Perhaps we won't waste time with him. Seth and Serus seem like they would much more fun to torture. What to you think? Oh, I have a perfect idea~" She leaned over, putting her gloved arm around his shoulder while her index finger of her other hand gently trailed down his horn, "I think we should snag up Serus and torture Seth using her. How does that sound?"

Azriel turned, then disappeared. He wasn't coming back anytime soon. She reappeared next to Mystic, looking down to Melody, "Why is that knife still there?" She went to pull it out, but paused as Mystic gently grabbed her hand. "Wait.." She analyzed the doll, then frowned. "Well...it takes care of the dying part...do you think a regular attachment would work or shall I find another doll?"

Mystic sighed, leaning back in the chair, "I don't know, dear. Should we even bring her back? Without her, those two have no reason to bother us...well, Irith doesn't at least. I'm not sure what Abraxas wants, other than my head probably."

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, trailing her one hand along his ear, "You know as well as I that Abraxas has no hope of even touching you. I think Holden would appreciate it if he could continue to see Melody. I mean, you could sense the grief he felt for her when they first met again. He obviously wants to make things 'right' for her. Can you blame him? She's had such a rough life...and she didn't get a happy ending; not even the second time."

Mystic chuckled slightly, "Since when did you care so much about 'happy endings'? You've been spending too much time with her...where's the bad ass I fell in love with?" He smiled a bit, putting his hand over hers, "But, it's up to you. You're the Doll expert. Oh, speaking of, how was Ariel able to speak, but not Melody?"

Azriel rolled her eyes, "I haven't become 'soft' if that's what you're implying...okay..fine..maybe I like her. She was..cute..." She cleared her throat, standing up straight as she crossed her arms over her chest, "Ariel was originally a demon...she could manipulate Ethereal energy and she retained most of her powers when she was attached. She used a form of telepathy, projecting it into the open air to make it appear she was actually speaking. And before you ask, Irith used a similar method on Melody but had to remain in contact with her, and no, I cannot give her a permanent voice unless she has a real body. I never got the change to manipulate her Ethereal 'code', so to say, before she left us so I have no idea if a regular attachment would work. The safest route for now would be to repair the doll and reattach her. It should come fairly easy, since she's familiar with the doll."

Mystic nodded, "I will get to work then. See if you can track down Abraxas and Irith? I would love to cut his head off once more. I rather enjoyed it." He stood, taking the pieces of the doll he managed to gather and went into his workshop. This would take awhile.

Serus led Seth over to the bed, sitting next to him as she set him down, "Don't worry about it right now alright? You need to rest. I will get you some blood. Fresh?"
