ZEPH
you have a happy personality with a heavy soul
You don't see the kid dash away, but you do see Vai dart after it, trudging deeper into the black hole of your past. The boxes seem to leer at you, labels that you would rather not read gleaming in the darkness. Most of them are coated in a thick lair of dust that rises in plumes beneath Vai's feet, though a couple appear recently opened, which is... weird.
But definitely not a priority. More important is the child in your attic, who now giggle faintly as you push through cobwebs and grow as one catches on your beard. Your boots thud over the creaky floorboards, and your ears are starting to itch, and when you call out it's in a nasally voice because the dust has left you congested as all fuck.
"Alright kid, this shit ain't funny. It's time t'get outta-"
You pull up short behind Vai, your mouth clicking shut. The kid who sits atop a chest is staring at you with a bright smile that you swear to the gods you have seen before. Black hair frames a pale face, and electric blue eyes look between you and the witch. The girl is small, no older than six or seven.
And she's a perfect reflection of Vervain. You've never seen your lover's daughter, but if you were to imagine Ashetta you would imagine this.
