Caelg... Was arrogant. A few nastier terms did flit through Yukio's mind before he cognatly selected aggorant as the descriptor. He did not like the over all dissmissive nature of the other Nightmare. he was very...dominate? Yes. That was exactly it. Dominante. he started and ended the conversation leaving little room for them to do more then nod in greeting. Yukio was more used to the docileness of Pandora in company. Someone he did not feel challenged by. Yukio truely did not like to be challeneged. It rubbed raw against his very nature!
Turning his head to look at Pandora for a few silentl moments, Yukio took advantage of her silent nature to pull her close and tight to his side. He honestly could not help it. Something as weak willed as her would be too easily snatched away if he did not keep her close at all times!
A outbust from Chris drew his attention back to Caelg and his human. He had mentioned harming the girl briefly. Pfah! Such methods of terror were beneath him. Why should he lower himself to inflicting pain on other Nightmares humans? Seidra was the only human of true interest to him and he did not want to risk marking her pretty pretty flesh...well..perhaps a tattoo of his name somewhere would be nice. A curly graceful 'Property of Yukio' branded right on her cheek! Then all the world would know she was his and she'd never be able to hide it, even from herself!
Caelg was about to do something, that much was clear with his conspiring wink. What though? He couldn't think of what 'Manipulation' could do besides confuse one who tried to think too hard on the plans of others. Chris obviously was a very headstrong girl if that was her fear...Personally he'd suggest a locking dog collar on her then see how badly she choked herself trying to get it off.
"I suppose this is good bye then girl." Yukio called out before eyeing the gold ribbon wrapped about her wirst. "My that is..." He started, then stopped. It was a very pretty thing. As pretty as the ones wrapped about his own wings. But her ribbon seemed a little less...hindering.

Chris nodded, hesitantly. She did want to wake... and if there was a way out of this place... maybe then she'd know she wasn't insane.
"Very well," Cealg murmured.
The human glanced up at Yukio for a moment, not failing to notice that he was looking at the gold thread around her wrist. In that moment of space between them Cealg snapped his fingers and the thread twisted and became alive. It snapped tight around Chris's wrist and then started to spread, small tendrils burrowing into the skin. The girl shrieked, more in terror than pain, and fell to the ground, clawing at her arm as the gold thread spread.
"I wouldn't fight it, it's the way home..." Cealg said, his voice bored.
But she continued to claw at the thread, panting in frenzied terror, and then her form faded out of sight and out of Incultra.
------------
Chris sat up with a jolt in her bed. She immediately started rubbing at her arm, feeling that it was fine, that there was no thread wrapped around in and around it, and that everything that she had just dreamed was gone. Then she started crying, softly, so as not to wake up her roommate.
--------------
Cealg turned his head to look at the other two Nightmares. There wasn't any disinterest now, only a calculating look of distrust. He was taking more time to size them both up and wasn't bothering to hide it.
"I believe we can speak freely now that the human is gone," he said, "I am taking great care that she knows very little about this place or what we are. But enough about her... she'll spend the day convincing herself it was merely a dream and possibly checking some books out of the library on psychology. I'm very curious about your human, Captivity... it's so similar but so different... for manipulation is control of the mind... but I would guess that you have control of them physically..."
He put a finger to his lips, eyes glinting. He seemed to take no notice of Pandora at all, for she simply did not interest him. She was Independence, the very opposite of what he wanted for his human. Chris could have the illusion of free will, of course. But not forever. There would be a point where he would take even that away.

Any interest of meeting this new nightmare completely washed away from Padora's will, all she wanted to do now was get far away from him. She was terrified of Cealg and the very thoughts of what he could do. Trembling slightly, she shifted slowly behind Yukio, pressing tightly up against him. She watched in silence as he snapped his fingers, causing the gold ribbon to gouge into his human and suddenly wished that her blindfold took away her sight instead of granting it. Clenching her teeth, she hid her face into her brother's side, desperately trying to block out the sounds of her screaming.
After Chris' cries had subsided Padora looked up at Yukio with caution, hoping to find some courage and reassurance in his face. Swallowing her fear, she glanced over to Cealg, happy to find that his attention was no where near her. But that just opened the gate to a new wave of worry. "What does he want with my brother?" she thought to herself, "I wont let him hurt him."
With her new found confidence, her small shivers stopped. She stood firm but still clung tightly to her brother. Pandora continued to watch Cealg as he spoke, listening to each word carefully for any hint of what was about to come.

Chris' means of escape was nothing short of unsettling. He could not imagin how creepy it would be to have something burrowing under your skin. It truely terrified her. For just a few moments Yukio had this weird thought, of yellow ribbons sprouting from each of Chris's limbs. Like the strings of a puppett, with Caelg twisting their ends. That is what Manipulation would be like isn't it? The control of ones thoughts or actions somehow. Yukio did not think he'd have the energy to be that precognitive. So much work to nudge someone to do just what you wanted! Keeping Seidra locked away worked so much easier.
Of course...Yukio had no intentions of giving his human a means of escape once she was here. He'd fight tooth, wing, and nail to keep her here with him. Pandora's clinging was a mere distant note in his mind as he watched Caelg turn to face them once more. This time though there was a distinctive change in the nightmare. Now this was the type of reaction he had expected from the start. A guaging look, a calculating gaze, something to size the two of them up. Of course Pandora was useless. She'd need him to protect her, as if he could ever expect anything from her when it came to confrontation. She suited her role very well by giving him something pretty to fixate on between the hours that Seidra's mind lay open to his obsession.
Her trembling body only furthered his feeling of superiority over her, and he could not help the determined tilt of his chin. Sure, Caelg had a sword. But Yukio had his ribbons....hmmm...Swords could cut ribbons couldn't they? Well then, if need be he'd make certain to go for the wrists first...actually...now that he thought about it...with Caelgs very pretty hair and slender form...he'd actually look very pleasing all bound up in his dark purple ribbons.
A slow easy smile broke the beginings of a scowl. "Humans are strange and very foolish things. They always convince themselves they are in control instead of accepting the realty that they are not. A knowledgeable human would probably have a easier time fighting one of us off if they could come to terms with such a truth." he agreed without hesitation. It was quite true after all...though Yukio fully intended on letting his human know the full truth. It would make her time with him all the more fun if she accepted it as a realty rather then a 'dream'.
"My...human..." This he paused and mused for a few long moments. What harm is there in revealing her name? Or speaking of her..or boasting rather? "My Seidra...she is not quite the same as your human. I would not call her headstrong in the least. She is quite pretty though. If she wasn't I wouldn't care one bit about her. She has a pretty face, and pretty hair, which she has colored oddly by human standards. She is hardly a independant sort, but from what I have learned she doesn't much care for being contained. A subconscious fear of her's I think stemming from the fact she's such a naughty little girl." Yukio felt a tremble of delight merely thinking abouthow 'naughty' his Seidra truely was. What with her little habit for pocketing things that weren't hers. "But yes. I do not toy so much with her mind as I do with her body...well...er..." Wait..that came out utterly horrible! And while something like that might cross his mind later...Yukio was hardly old enough to give much thought to just what it was that could be taken as! "What I mean is I deprive her of the ability to get away from me. She is mine after all, and eventually there will be no escape ever from me. Ever."
Pandora was no longer trembling, without her firmer grip on his shoulder he would have thought she had perhaps run off. She was there still though, he could feel her hand, if not her breath on his neck as she peered over at Caelg. Shifting one hand back towards her, he reached blindly to latch a firm grip somewhere on her hip. Later, he was going to have to get her a collar....
