Tessa's words washed over Kirai like a cool wave of comfort. Lifting her head up, and looking at Tessa, Kirai said, "I've lied to people, Tessa.... Edward still is trying to get my soul back, although I know how horrible that would be, and I am afraid that might be what Salazar is after, too. It would be... such a betrayal to them." Kirai gazed at her with wet, empty sad eyes. Kirai had never confided like this with anyone... Not Avarice, or even Edward. Every word she said stung, because she had never been this honest or open in her entire life... Kirai had never truely known contempt, or peace.

"While I possessed you, I discovered something." Taking Kirai's hands into her own, she smiled. Grinned. "A secret weapon." Solidifying herself, she felt very warm. Her touch was no longer a ghostly, cool tingle, but firm and real. "I felt your soul. If you search yourself, you'll feel it too. That inner warmth. Its been hiding in plain sight. Kirai, if you can connect with that part of yourself...you'll be complete again. Whatever is holding you to Avarice will be broken." Biting her lip, she added, "Maybe." Tessa was counting on this hopeful feeling. The hope that she'd see Kirai again without that dull expression. No longer empty, but whole and complete.

Kirai was silent. She had thought she had felt something too... but it had always vanished before she could grasp it, or even grow within any distance of it. Very gently gripping Tessa's hands, Kirai stopped, trying to find the words to express how she felt. Looking up from their hands, at at Tessa, Kirai gave a soft smile, not really knowing what to think or say. After a few moments of silence, Kirai lowered her head slightly, her blonde curls falling over her face, and said, "Thank you... Tessa."

((Angel! You must watch this: Epic Dance)) "No, thank you." Rising, Tessa brought Kirai to her feet. Looking around at the new surroundings, it didn't seems so...melancholy anymore. "I don't know about you," she said, nodding towards her clothing, "but I'm hoping they have something I could change into. I've been wearing this dress for centuries."

Kirai gave Tessa a hug. "I'll sew you a new dress." Speeking of which, Kirai found it slightly odd Avarice remembered her exact dress size... or that he even knew it, considering how often he was away from Vaclav. Well, that showed her what he remembered.
((o_o <3 omgth.... this is amazing..... >.< -squees-))

((If you haven't seen Fame, I totally recommend it.))
"I'd love one," she said, "something I could dance in." Lifting the hem of her dress, Tessa examined her feet. She was still wearing her ballerina shoes. One thing her husband hadn't taken from her. Whenever she wore them, she felt so naughty. Hiding her greatest passion from sight like a secret lover. "I'll be rusty, but I think I'll get back into the swing of things once I stretch a bit."

Looking down at her shoes, Kirai tilted her head, "I never really danced much... or at all, really. Would you be so kind as to teach me a few dances in the future?" Kirai knew how to waltz and do ballroom dancing... but anything further than that, she had never learned. During her childhood, dancing was meerly one of her studies in Vaclav.

"Of course." Tessa replied happily. "I've tarried in other dancing forms and styles, however, ballet is what I'm most passionate for. My mother taught. So, I'd be honored to teach you too."

Kirai nodded, and smiled with thanks. Looking back out over the landscape, Kirai pulled out her pocket watch and checked the time. Still several more hours of nightfall... And she was guessing the light of early morning would not be bright enough to hurt her. Putting the pocket watch away, Kirai said in a fairly low voice, "I hope it is cloudy tomorrow."

Tessa and Kirai had gone inside once the sun began rising. Mim was nice enough to find Tessa something to change into. She really hated that old dress. It was beautiful, but too many memories. Too many god awful memories. It was obvious she was wearing something of Mimicry's too. A black spaghetti strap tee and a comfortable pair of sweatpants. Mim preferred comfort over style, but anything would work for Tessa at the moment. Tying her hair into a simply ponytail, she secured her ballet shoes and began to stretch. Centering herself at the center of the foyer, since there was enough space for her to perform, she readied herself for her dance. (( Dance :3))

Kirai watched her dance, silently with awe and admiration. It had been so long since she had seen anyone skilled in the performance arts... it was more amazing to see Tessa was so graceful. Her eye's didn't leave Tessa during the entire dance, usually, the only time she saw grace anywhere near that... was sadly, in fighting.

Tessa lifted herself off the ground, bringing herself to her knees. Her chest was heaving, sweat beading across her skin. She was breathless and very, very happy. "What a workout." Mim clapped. She was still lingering beside Godric, waiting for Phantom to finish with Jackie. "I couldn't do that without a blade and lots of blood." Mim laughed. Boy, was she an optimist or what?

Turinan Dusk Watcher curling her fingers together she studied them, answering quietly. " I neutralize all death magic with my life magic.. Necromancers are forced to rely on physical means to fight." takeing a deep breath she let it out, adding in a torn voice. " I grew up with Riley.. and my b*****d husband is working for the man Avarice." Phantom nodded and crossed her arms over her chest. "So you have as much right to fight in this war as the rest of us. Alright. You are welcome to join us in the fight against Avarice. If you want, this place can be your home and such. If you have another place that is fine as well. There are rooms on the second and third floor if you wish to stay." Phantom stood up and nodded to Jackie before opening the door and walking out.
She hated her own office, and wanted out herself. She walked up to Mim and Godric, smiling. "We might have the right person to kill the b*****d now."

Kirai smiled and clapped as well. "That was excellent, Tessa." Looking over at Mimicry, Kirai said with a little guilt, yet light heartedly, "I must agree with that, except with razors, of course."

Salazar waited for Phantom to leave the room before hopping down from the windowsill he was eavesdropping from. "b*****d, yes." He started as he moved to stand behind Jackie. "But husband? I never thought I would hear you say that again, unless there was an ex behind it." V had told him that Kirai had left the keep and came here. He didn't expect to see his wife here though, that was just a bonus. "Are you really about to align yourself with these people? Become their puppet? I expected more of you Jackie."
