[ There are long, strange pauses in her movements, like a glitching of her image, but she's carefully touching Eric's throat, then the center of his chest, finally settling on the bridge of his nose with two fingertips.]
"A little bit from here, I think. I'd put you at a tenor, from your look. Good diction, a well formed vocabulary. Tiny lilt, but that's just for endearment. "
[ And just like that, she tweaks the caim's nose, just lightly.]
"There -- try now. "

//he watches the humans movements warily, wincing a little when she tweaks his nose//
"Ah-! Ow, why did you- Oh-!"
//He blinks, bringing a hand to his throat in surprise//
"My voice came back! How did... what did you do?"

"I just brought your voice out. "
[ Like it's as simple as that.]
"Or, rather, I decided on one for you. Hopefully Lav won't mind much. I think it suits you nicely. Sorry about the nose. It shouldn't be red for too long. I just find it easiest to create from pain. "

"Decided on one?"
//Herubs his nose, seeming a little perplexed//
"I'm not sure what that means, but... thank you."
//he seems genuinely grateful.//

[ She actually reaches up and pats Eric's head, favoring him with a smile that's damn matronly, like she's trying to help him feel better. Poor kid. Not everyday you get ripped through time and space to find your voice replaced by dial-up Internet.]
[ But half a second later, she turns to look right at Zach and Lester, expression completely flat.]
"As I told someone else not too long ago-- I am not a benevolent God, Zachary. So keep that in mind if you choose to hop on the Caesar - must - die train. "

"I'm considering all options available to me, not jumping any trains. You must have realized by now that I'm not over-eager to kill anyone."
//he says flatly//
"I already promised Lyrca I wouldn't kill Odin. Even though it would make things easier for me."

[ Tickticktickticktickticktick.]
"Then I'll keep all my options just as open. "
[ It doesn't necessarily sound like a good thing. ]
"I'll be watching, Z. "
[ And like the Outer Limits, controlling the vertical and the horizontal, she just winks out of existence. ]

//he shakes his head//
"Melodramatic."
//Eric and Jing, however, openly gape//
"Oh my god!
"What the ******** looks the least surprised, eyes narrowing in suspicion//
"So you've drugged all of us."
//he says flatly. Zach sighs, shaking his head//
"No. You're the great puzzle solver, here, you know that those pieces don't fit. You're just having trouble accepting the truth that you've probably already figured out."
//the fairy sighs, rubbing a temple//
"It can't be, and yet..."
"Whatever remains is the truth, right?"
//Jing and Eric take no notice of their conversation, still clearly baffled over the humans mysterious disappearance//

//he closes his eyes, rubbing both temples beneath his glasses//
"The indistinct details, the memory and sensory issues, Jing appearing out of nowhere, the girl disappearing out of nowhere, your talk, the undead, the boys voice.... Zachary, how in the seven hells did you become this? How did you come across this power? It shouldn't be possible, yet here we are?"
//In the background, Jing and Eric both seem absorbed in looking for a possible trap door where Serenity stood. Zach shrugs//
"How I got this way isn't really relevant in the long term. What's important is that I'm not the only one. And frankly, the more I learn, the less certain I am whose side I'm on."
//Art snorts//
"Oh please, of course you do. There's only one side you're ever on. It's why we're friends in the first place."
//Zach raises an eyebrow, looking down at the fae, who grins//
"You're on your own side. As always.
//Zach grins wickedly back//
"You know me so well."
