He didn't expect to see Ni-Mu around the outskirts of Hyperion, especially considering that she was... well... he expected her to be one of the more protected soldiers of the Machina Army. Why was she out here in the middle of nowhere? He hoped it wasn't because of Charlie being a thing that he had, as that [i]kind of[/i] posed a threat to Eos' existence and reign. Why wouldn't it? It was a giant snake made from the very material that Bonesword could control, and since Bonesword was a demon, it wouldn't go without being watched. The skeleton had hushed Charlie before opening the door to the hovel, standing directly in front of Ni-Mu. In the hovel, Charlie was staring at the metal soldier all the while the two talked.

What're you doing here...?"[/color][/b] [hr][hr][hr][h2][center][i][color=8dc73f]Abigail, the Restless[/color][/i][/center][/h2][center][i]~Celestia~[/i][hr][/center] The spectre froze up from the presence of Ciel, and hastily turned around to face her. This was an unexpected situation, and it spooked Abigail. Heh, spooking a ghost. That's kind of ironic. [color=8dc73f]"O-oh sorry. I didn't mean to be a bother to the festival that was going on. It's just that... well... I don't know exactly."[/color] Abigail was timidly speaking about all of this, and had floated over to Ciel while she spoke. [color=8dc73f]"I don't really think that I want to talk about what's disturbing me, but I'll come to the festival if it makes you feel better."[/color] The spectre had a smile on her face as she spoke to the Stargazer in her cottage. She didn't want to upset her or anything, but she didn't really want to have to pour out all the details of her life to this woman who she just met. Maybe the festival would relieve some of this tension anyway. [@KoL]
