The gem glows softly as she responds to Arkain's question.<br/><span style="color: #00CC00"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">My name is Tomoa, and as for who I am...</span></span></span><br/>The gem flashed, and everything that she revealed to Ben was sent to Arkain as well.<br/><span style="color: #00CC00"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">That should suffice. I spend most of my time in Siya's body, repairing as it is needed. In return, I am able to feel and experience everything Siya experiences in his life...good or bad. <img alt=":?" src="./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif" title="Confused"/> My healing powers apparently work a bit differently than yours. I basically rebuild his body from the ground up. THAT'S why I can't do any more for him at this point. His body's had it. It's like a house with a bad foundation, really. You can make as many repairs and renovations as you want, but sooner or later, the house is gonna crumble. Siya's at the crumbling point...That's why I was thinking, rather that trying to repair him, why not give him a whole new body? You swallow him, reform him and "dispose of" the old body.</span></span></span><br/>Arkian could feel the grin in Tomoa's voice as she continued,<span style="color: #00CC00"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Plus you'll be getting a slightly bigger meal too...he stuffed himself with 20 fish before you came back! <img alt=":wink:" src="./images/smilies/wink.gif" title="Wink"/> </span></span></span>
