Oh, but I wouldn't say it's removed, exactly. You're still connected, and all. I don't really know why, though. Maybe it's just part of the competition - to see how we'll handle something like this?
Your Irene is proof of it! Don't tell me you're shy about that, Mister Sholmes...?
[ teasing gently ]
You're right, though; it doesn't seem to be an affect of this world. We'll have to look into it more, but I wonder if the higher powers did something to make it happen when they brought us all here? It could have something to do with the competition, I guess.
Shy? Me? No, no, no! Though I suppose I've heard "adorable" directed at others instead of me.
[Like a certain cute daughter of his.]
Maybe. More questions upon more questions...we seem to have a neverending list. Regardless! It's worth to have someone like you to help guide us through it all. Though I do wish you weren't stuck in this whole business like we are.
Hm... Maybe. I like think I'm a pretty straightforward person for the most part, though.
[ a slight hesitation before they answer. ]
Well, you know... We were told that some worlds could be in danger if the other side wins. By being here, and trying to help our side, that means helping my own, too, doesn't it?
I mean... I wouldn't say it's totally selfless. Doing this is supposed to help my own world, too, so the way I see it, it's like a "two birds, one stone" kind of situation.
I fight for everyone. [ firmly. ] My family, my world, and all of you. And I would have been fighting for strangers no matter what. It's what I've been training for.

[And he's actually just running over to the window for doing exactly that. Terrible! DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS MAN TO CRAWL OVER THINGS LIKE A SPIDER.]
[It takes some time, but he's here!]
At last! Face to face. A pleasure.

The feeling's mutual, Mister Sholmes!

Can you fly with them?
no subject
We sure can! We have to carry our daemons with us, though. The distance thing applies to us, too.
no subject
Oh? But I saw Shamsiel's daemon fly quite far...so there's still a limit?
no subject
Have you tested it already, Mister Sholmes?

[And just petting Irene as he speaks. Her little hare ears twitch.]
Why would we have our soul removed like this in the first place? Adorable animals aside, wouldn't it be better to just have it in our own bodies?
no subject

And maybe. Perhaps. Strange that the inhabitants of this city didn't have to deal with the same, based on the reactions of the children.

Oh, but I don't mind! I want to help people, you know? This is just one way of helping both you guys and my own people back home.
no subject
[A little amused.]
Oh? Your own people? How are you helping your loved ones at home by being here?
no subject
[ a slight hesitation before they answer. ]
Well, you know... We were told that some worlds could be in danger if the other side wins. By being here, and trying to help our side, that means helping my own, too, doesn't it?
no subject
[Well, now.]
Some worlds could be in danger? I...see. [And now he's seriously frowning.] I don't quite like the sound of that.

It's like fighting for one's family. Though in your case, you're fighting for people who you haven't even met.

[Hm?]
So this was already close to your role before?
