Esther watched in quiet amazement as the pixie thing went through all different facets, both compassionate and terrible, with the speed of an ADHD Sugar Rush.  The thing was a child, remorselessly honesty and keeping secrets for the joy of keeping them.  It chilled Esther just a little, to know that this being was so autonomous that it could keep secrets from its master, or choose to blackmail someone independently of its master's own personality type.  Not that Olivia wouldn't resort to blackmail, of course, only that she didn't seem like the person who would send others to blackmail for her.<br/><br/>Nothing personified the gifts that Billy had given like Rose did.  There was a childishness to it, to a full figured doll that would have been the equal of Kaylee if she were normal size, flitting around and bopping herself in the head, trying to remember her mission and giving herself imaginary approval.  Even though the creature was half-threatening her, Esther had to admit that she was charmed by it.<br/><br/>"The Spider-man?"  Esther looked at her, quirking a brow in disbelief.  "There goes the friendly neighborhood." she chuckled, shaking her head, muttering about how bad that joke was..  "No, I never heard of anything like that.  When I talked with Billy, he didn't mention anything about predators or enemies at all.  He even said he'd never really had the chance to use his power on another trans-human like us, so it's possible that he never actually encountered an enemy like that."<br/><br/>Esther cocked her head curiously as Rose asked if she needed to take a message to Olivia, a conspirator's smirk on her lips.  "Just the bit about the Spider-man.  Anything else would be admitting we spoke, don't you think?"  She smiled a little more brightly, and sincerely.  "But just between us, though, thanks.  I really needed the visit."  A funny thought occurred to her, and she reached into her purse and pulled out an unopened back of M&Ms she'd gotten from the vending machine.  Pulling it open, she poured just a few in her palm and held it out to the pixie.  "Do you like candy?"<br/><br/>"Hey, before you go.  I was trying to ask my Other, but what exactly are these Parasites, or these Guardian Angels?  I can safely assume they aren't liked much, but since I'm going to crash Mindy's Initiation Party tonight, I at least wanted to ask before I torched a Goddess Effigy or whatever is down there."<br/><br/>She chuckled again.  "I envy Olivia, you know.  For having an Other that is easy to talk to, at the very least."  Even her tone made it clear that she envied Olivia for almost everything about her, but it was meant as a compliment.
