Nodding at the notion she recieved from her counterpart, Arixaya had questioned if she could communicate both inwardly and outwardly. It was a good thing though, that she would not be deemed as a crazy person, talking to 'herself'. It was good that she originally was a person that did not like to talk too much... wait, was she that? Shaking her head a little, she felt like some little lights lit up in her muddled head now and then, just to be extinguished within again. Was that the side effect of possessing that body?<br/><br/>Then she pulled herself back,  calmly analyzing the facts at hand, while talking inside to Ari. She did not believe the words of her not having to fear anything in this world. There was<span style="font-style: italic">never</span>an oasis, without buried corpses for the fertilizer of the lush vegetation, after all.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"So, based from your words just now, <span style="font-weight: bold">if</span> I get found out in your body, its <span style="font-weight: bold">me</span> and my spirit that will suffer. However, it seems to be taciturnly accepted having some random spirits possessing you, based from your first non-hostile reaction when I took over your body?" </span><br/>Trying to keep the mimicry on her new face neutral, she was, honestly speaking, more alarmed about this information, than the rampaging 'mount' next to her.  Of course she did not let her guard down. The only thing was that her 'murmuring' stopped and she focussed inwardly to talk with her host.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"So, this 'Cristine' who was before me - What happened to her?" </span>If she had been speaking now, her tone of voice would be ice cold. If she was dead, or 'MIA' 'gone' , then this race should posess a method to separate her out of this body. However, it was unknown what would happen to her spirit. Before she could secure a way to go back to her own body - wherever it may be - Ari did not really want to be separated, becoming a 'spirit in somebodys bottle' or anything similar like that. Best case she would<br/>die. She knew too much and too little why she was not as afraid to die as to having her spirit forcefully remain somewhere.<br/><br/>Monitoring the situation outside with her borrowed body, Ari suspiciously eyed the sharp teeth of the ...Suchos. Since when did herbivores have sharp teeth? Something told her, that sharp teeth should be a sign of carnivores.<br/>Moving closer to the lying down person next to her, she finally had a look at their face, and could feel their vital signs. She did not stop monitoring the mount, and of course the perimeter. It was not nervosity, it seemed more like a habit.<br/><br/>But the strangely peaceful and calming effects on her persisted, and made her feel a little<span style="font-style: italic">itchy</span>, like a person who would like to get irritated, but could not.<br/>It did not help, that as Ari was explaining the situation at hand, she also would get hit by a major part of the original body's feelings and effects, influencing her a lot. The itch continued  to grow as it became something almost physical.<br/>Sighing, Arixaya inhaled deeply and let out a long breath, repeatedly, to try to calm down herself and the entity that she was sharing this body with.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"The reason I asked this, is, because my own memories seemed to be muddled. If its not your bodys abilities, they should be mine. That is what I deduced.</span><br/>Nodding to herself, she finally addressed a crucial issue that was bothering her.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">I dont think we have that much time.</span>Then she continued -<br/><span style="font-style: italic"> From what you told me, many things are still confusing. I dont have a clear picture of this situation, but i think its more important to cooperate.</span><br/>It was a wretched situation. Not mentioning the host-Ari, who seemed to be quite used to this 'possession' thing, she herself seemed even more vulnerable and powerless.<br/>This feeling was detestable. Ari did not want to find out anymore if this was a dream or reality. The only thing she would want right now, is to have<span style="font-style: italic">her own</span>body, and her memories back.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I dont think I have other choices but to trust you for now. I will not trust anyone else. If the situation is as you described, traitors - or even other 'entities' like you and me, could be around us. And I dont know anyone here -  no,  i dont even <span style="font-weight: bold">remember</span> any of my companions. Everyone could be an enemy. </span><br/><br/>That was her final conclusion.  Pushing aside her feelings of discomfort, she was aware that somebody closed in on them.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Somebody is coming. I trust that you will inform me of friend or foe that you know. If there is a friend, i will not talk to them, you have to do it, since they obviously know you and not me." She paused, listening to the rustling. " If its a stranger, or an enemy I will judge myself if I fight or flee. You will have to trust me and your body with that, as I trust you to help me from being discovered before I know a way to go back safely." </span><br/><br/>Her words were spoken simply, but without doubting herself or her host. Being a person that was not very wordy outward, she actually did seem to have a straigthforward and logical personality, albeit Ari noticed herself being quite distrustful and wary. This could not have happened without some experience. Also, though this body did not have that much experience, it could be said, that she could move and sense quite well, suited for combat. As to how she would fight and with what, she would leave it to her instincts. As for the Ari this body belonged to, she would figure out slowly, what kind of person that was.<br/><br/>Keeping an eye out for the humanoid noises, Ari kept calm and asked.<span style="font-style: italic">"What now? Anani seems to be unconscious. Is.. your friend going to be like you and me? Should I grab her and get out of here?" </span>
