The flames of rage were burning inside of him, he felt like he wanted to put his hand through the table but he hid it as best he could to stay collected. He knew she was meaning for the best but her words only fell into the category of his mind that was dealing with the seeming unlikelihood of that happening anytime soon. The fact that he was helpless against any of it was a fan to inner fires.* I know, I know she is....just it's hard to go through daily life without the other half of me....

Eyes full of sympathy, she bobbed her head again. "I cannot begin to imagine how you feel, how this is affecting you. Please know if there is anything I could possibly do to help, you are most welcome to call on me .. rather, you may make your request. If you wish for me to leave you alone here, I would do so gladly."

No, I've just come back from a long walk...tried to clear my head and get my thoughts organized. I'm afraid....*He looked up to her, his own which were usually a warm jade were now glassy and behind them a storm of emotions and internal conflicts raged* I'm afraid of what might happen if I slip backwards....

"If anything .. I may be able to assist you with helping your thoughts. Though before I make my suggestion, I must ask if you would not mind the use of magic. Well .. I suppose a more appropriate question, as I honestly do not know you well, is if you use magic for daily tasks." she began to offer to him, wanting very much to help him.

His mouth turned a bit into a small crooked smile to one side* I know and use magics that've twisted and corrupted my soul. I have no objections.

"There is a tool that is used with magic, called a pensive. Though it will not solve anything immediately, you may .. essentially store a copy of your memories there, so that you may draw upon them in fine detail at a future date. Most find that to be tremendously helpful so they may focus on their current affairs." she offered with a modest smile.

We can try but I don't know how well it will work. Never hurts to try I guess...

"If you will excuse me for but a moment." she said softly, bobbing her head. With a small pop, she was gone. Several minutes passed before she reappeared carrying a large wooden bowl with many runes carved around it's wide brim. Setting it carefully on the table, if Zero were to look, he would see it was filled with a liquid. "Instructions are here." she said, handing him a piece of paper also. "If you have questions, please ask. Though there is not much I can do until you begin placing memories there. Remember also to keep this safe and protected at all times as anyone may view the memories you hold here if they know what to look for."

Heh, they could look straight into my memories and not know a damn thing. Thank you *He looked into the bowl and watched the light reflect of the slightly shimmering surface of the liquid. He began to read the piece of paper all the while choosing what memory to test out the pensive with. After several minutes he put down the paper.* What happens if this doesn't work?

"Try something else. My next suggestion would be meditation or speaking with someone you trust." she said softly with a cheerful smile.

He stared back into the liquid for several more minutes as he continued to scan his thoughts. Finally he was able to choose one. Closing his eyes he changed his breathing to a much slower and controlled state as he tried to focus his mental state. He pushed out everything but the one memory. Slowly he brought back everything he could piece by piece. He slowly began to extract the memory from his head using his own magic as the attractor. Once he had pulled it all he slowly slipped it into the pensive.

I tried one of my brighter memories...it was suprising how hard it was to find one....*He looked back into the swirling pensive liquid* Let's see if it made it there intact shall we?

Nodding her head, she places one hand gently on his arm, letting a single finger from her opposite hand touch the surface of the liquid with the tip. In a moment, they would both feel themselves being lifted from their seats, finding themselves in his memory.

He felt a tug and suddenly they were outside the gates of a fairly large city. The main gateway was guarded by two guards, one who seemed to be middle aged and somewhat grizzled while the other seemed younger and less experienced. After looking around for a moment he turned to his companion* Can they see us?
