B-but it means a lot to me.”  She looked around at the library in her mind and gave a soft smile and settled down in front of her friend. Taking her hand she closed her eyes and willed them to leave the bauble.<br/><br/>She opened her eyes and continued to float.  “I-I’ve never worn a swimsuit before. M-master Gil never went outside when it was light and there wasn’t much reason for me to go swimming since I can’t touch things without concentration.”  She became slightly translucent as her body relaxed a bit.  “B-but I’d go with you. To look.”  She gave a smile and adjusted her long white hair as she looked at the slime.<br/><br/>It’d been so long since she’d talked to anyone that she’d forgotten how nice it could be to just sit and talk. To enjoy another sentient company. Even if it was a slime and she wouldn’t have much in common with her. She seemed to have the same curious bent she herself did and that meant the two had common ground that they could discover things together. Her providing the ability to physically touch things and interact and Uriah providing her scholastic training and years of knowledge she’d gained. It was almost like with Master Gil only there wasn’t an attraction to the slime.<br/><br/>She examined that thought from the purely scientific side. Chie was certainly in a shape that was appealing to most sentient males and perhaps a few females. She had no interest in women per say but she often found herself attracted to the stern and demanding head librarian. That woman pushed the scholar’s buttons and sent a warmth through her cold dead heart. Could she be attracted to Chie? Perhaps in a platonic manner but on the whole it wasn’t something she was considering. This was an opportunity to have a living friend.<br/><br/>That thought however made her sad because no matter how much she wanted a living friend if she herself were immortal then her friendships would be hallow and not lasting. Like a pet. To briefly in the life of the longer creature… like her to Master Gil. She shook her head and sighed.  “Sorry, s-scholarly thought.”  She gave a wan smile and floated till she was on Chie’s level.  “L-lead the way, Chie.”  She didn’t offer her arm but she did make a motion and the necklace flew up and gently deposited around the slime’s neck.  “C-can we stop by the bookstore too? J-just to see if they have any texts I haven’t read.”  The ghost knew how the fetish worked and she didn't know if she really wanted to risk it on a new born creature. It would certainly be easier on them than on say a longer lived on who was attached to their body. But to force the slime out of it's new body to have it permanently become her own... that would not do. She knew of a ritual but she'd never found a witch who could perform it. It required ingredients that she had but a significant amount of living energy. Sex magic would have the desired amount but she didn't know if that would have other unforeseen side effects in creating a body. She didn't know if that much raw energy would be good for her or not. But she didn't want to tell that to her new friend. Better to keep that ritual hidden for now. Not that she was likely to find a practitioner of that type of magic on this island anyway.<br/>
