some ghosts keep you company
"Your heart is perhaps too real, too large for the spirit-form you inhabit."
Eyes widened briefly before casting down to the small patch of ground between their feet. Her heart clenched tight, as if threatening to fail to beat yet blood pounded like drums in her ears. She had stepped out of bounds and lost sight of her purpose so greatly that she no longer belonged within her father's realm? The urge to retch nearly overwhelmed her - but puking on the feet of a high god didn't seem a good way to resolve her problems. "I'm so sorry father." she said quickly, voice tight and raspy as her airways constricted, only allowing just enough room to keep her from passing out - or so it felt.
A moment of silence passed, if only so she could reign in the anxious wave that threatened to send her careening beyond the reach of sanity. "Is there nothing else you would have me do then? Just stand on the sidelines while Remi and the others do their work?" she asked. "The souls of the Ascended still reside somewhere beyond my reach...and those in the Hollowed Grounds continue to terrorize people during LongNight." If her job was to collect souls and send them to Mort, then perhaps she had been on the right path initially with trying to find the lost souls of enemy.
