[Gundam knocks on the door of Maya and Kaede's shared room, holding a package for Kaede. She'd given him obligation chocolate in the previous month and thus he was obligated by will of causality to oblige her with an offering in return.]
It hadn't actually occurred to Gundam to make sure Kaede was actually in her room though before coming to bother her.]
Do not dare to misconstrue my intentions! This is merely an offering in retribution for the sacrifice borne unto me on the fourteenth day of the second month!
While it's contents are nothing to myself, to a mere mortal the magical properties of these items could be most overwhelming to those bearing low astral power!
[Gundam strikes a ridiculous pose before continuing.]
These "symbols" keep their powers sealed! Much like how the world was shielded from sickness, death and insidious evils until Pandora infamously broke the bonds of the container holding them back.
[He's not embarrassed! -- He's just never been much of a gift recipient let alone a gift giver. Hearing Maya being so flippant about giving Kaede a gift for him though...]
...
And how would one like yourself undertake such a task?
[There was a lot going on in Vista Virs, most of it Gundam would like to wash his hands of entirely.]
What technique are you a master of? Do you allow the spirit to control your voice to relay messages or are you simply able to listen to the wayward messages of the beyond? Do the spirits materialize before you? Is it only the whispers of the deceased around you? Were there ever telekinetic or psychokinetic encounters?
The Kurain channeling technique! Though, um, technically the Director did a swap with my powers so I can't actually channel right now.... buuut, I did sort of manage to confer with ghosts anyway? But usually, they can borrow my body to talk to people. I can still kinda communicate, though.
[ wow he seems genuinely interested, she barely knows how to react. ]
For myself it is not a matter of what was lost, as it is what was not saved.
[Her stupid moon rules meant his hamsters couldn't be saved. Nor could he forge a new bond of furry companionship while he resides here.]
It was quite wise of her I will admit, for we would be far too strong and would easily over whelm her if my Four Dark Devas of Destruction were here! She would have surely perished the moment we stepped forth from the void like so many others we have felled on the path of war!
[ Generally, unless there's a pressing conversation to be had, he's been respecting Maya's wishes. She doesn't like the mental connection because she wants privacy. Or just self-conscious of her thoughts like literally every mortal on the planet, what the hell guys. It's such a miniscule worry in the scheme of things. So much so that, when you're attached to something that unconsciously records everything it experiences by necessity, some things slip past. Like said sense of privacy.
She gets mentally poked, like a tap on one shoulder. ]
Need me to cut his hands off?
[ This is with all the casual tone of someone asking if they need a ride from the airport, or if they want anything picked up from Burger King. ]
[ well, it's both ways, really, she doesn't like being privy to his thoughts either. but right now she's radiating panic and desperation, so like, it's hard for him not to pick up on it. she's not keeping it to herself, that's for sure. ]
[ I--- What? ]
[ honestly, she doesn't even know which 'he' will's referring to, so her mind immediately goes to mccree, because mccree is the currently the first person on her mind. also, she's kind of dense, he knows this. ]
[ No! Just because he's stone doesn't mean he can be broken up! What if they're detached when he turns back!? ]
