Kyless plodded along next to the Doctor Toshiro, running her blue-grey fingers along the bottom of her nose to wipe it from sneezing. <em>Hopefully she would not sneeze again.</em> <br/><br/>The trickster tried her very best to keep her bright, golden eyes forward, looking ahead at the bleak, white hallways of SOPHE’s headquarters. The ones closest to her cell she had seen before, dreamed of escaping through, but soon enough they were in areas she did not recognize, and was consequently lost in. Or <em>would</em> have been lost in. “Oh,” Kyless glanced over at Toshiro as he spoke suddenly, and with less fear and more curiosity than before, while in her cell, “the Yeshawl are very old demons of Fury. Older than human time can count, and so their magic is very old too.” <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. Her bells rattled as she nodded her head in confirmation.<br/><br/>“Time is not the same for us as it is for you humans. So the Yeshawl can make somethings stop, and slow, and start without changing otherthings. Pear picking, I think is what you humans call it.” The demoness gave a small shrug, and then suddenly sneezed a second time, <em>jingling</em> her many, golden bells. A second burst of magic, small but purple and blue and orange erupted <em>out</em> of her nostrils, <em>in front</em> of her face. Kyless wrinkled her nose as the illusionary firework disappeared, inhaling audibly. It was strange, but she was almost certain the tingling in her nose was becoming <em>more</em>, the <em>more</em> they walked. “The Nosthervim used to grow anywhere, but the Yeshawl made it so they could only stretch upwards and shine their terrible light, forever looking down upon the soil they cannot leave. The Nosthervim are trapped, but very much alive, Doctor Toshiro. That was the Yeshawl’s punishment, after all, for crossing them.” She stated a matter of factually, as if her story had no concerns, no questions, no secrets of any kind. The story of the Nosthervim and the Yeshawl was simply as it was. <em>And surely, the Doctor Toshiro knew of Zelkova, the Demon God of War and Destruction?</em> Perhaps the rumors the trickster heard of this place were not true.<br/><br/>“Do you wish to stop your human time because you only get so small to begin with?” Kyless added, tilting her head towards the Doctor Toshiro, still holding his beloved Marceline as they walked along the winding, stark path. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. Her nose tingled, <em>unfortunately</em>, another uncomfortable shiver that made her sneeze yet again, releasing a flare of blue, green and red sparks this time. <em>Jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>, <em>jingle</em>. Kyless pulled her shoulders up, closer to her curled, ram-like horns. She felt embarrassed. A demon who could not control their own magic was a utter catastrophe. “This…” Kyless quit speaking and dropped her golden gaze to the tiled floor, the same boring pattern, over and over again. It felt cold of her bare feet. Cold and dead and forgotten. “It is a far walk, I think.” She eventually murmured softly, still disappointed, though now in her own capability. It was then that the glum trickster realized something <em>else</em>. <br/><br/>“Is there another trap for me where we are going?” Her golden eyes lifted sharply to his face, wishing for the truth. Perhaps Toshiro's gift was to make her magic fuzzy so that other silly humans could overpower her again. Perhaps she deserved it, after what she had created today, the deadly Garden, the threat. “I was angry from loneliness, that is why I showed human Mallory and that human Kevin the Garden of the Nosthervim. But I did not let them hurt themselves. I <em>could</em> have…” And admittedly, very easily, as they were not like the Doctor Toshiro. No, the human Mallory and the human Kevin were not only silly, but were too young and too gullible and too together. They <em>would</em> certainly have walked into a <em>boring</em>, glass wall or tripped on her lumpy mattress if she had not have lead them around safety. The Doctor Toshiro said she could stay awake, but he also made her fell all fuzzy.</span>
