Eve hadn't moved but two or three steps when Joslyn called her name and caught her arm. Zen, being as intuitive as he was, had already erected wind barriers at all the doors when she stuttered. He wasn't creative all the time, but Joslyn gave the man credit for being quick. After catching Eve's arm, she did the one thing she knew would save a person from self destruction like Eve faced if she left, and so she wrapped her in a hug. Zen showed a rare part of himself, the soft side, and was there as well, wrapping Eve in a hug as well. [color=MidnightBlue]"Oh Eve, I know you want to think your family is still here, but they aren't. You can always remember them, it would be wrong to not remember. And, if you give us a chance, we can be your family too."[/color]

Zen couldn't help but cry a little. He'd messed up with Freddy, even though he was told not to blame himself, and he wanted to help Eve as much as Joslyn did. [color=Black]"She ain't lyin' kid. Dragon Fang's a great place for new families, even if Old Man Jack won't admit it, he's glad you stayed. Give him time, he'll warm up."[/color]

While Joslyn and Zen dealt with Eve, Jake approached Micheal and Uriel and lead them further away before turning to speak with the pair. [color=SaddleBrown]"Look kid, I know how you view things, but the souls of the dead are not celestial spirits. They don't make contracts and most of them, from my conversations with Freddy all those years ago, don't know they're dead until a shamanistic magic user or necromancer tells them. While I understand your issue with her magic, laying into her and trying to force her to understand all at once doesn't help."[/color] He sighed and took a seat.

[color=SaddleBrown]"I'm not mad at you, I'm not scolding you, I'm just trying to help you understand that she was in a fragile state of mind that dumping all of that on may have just destroyed. Trust me when I say you're far from wrong about forcing the dead that have passed on to serve, but those who stay? Those who know they're dead but don't pass on eventually just become husks of their former lives. A necromancer's summoning actually helps them. So they cut a deal of servitude, but deals are not like your contracts. Freddy said that deals involve the necromancer summoning that particular spirit a certain number of times so they stay energized and aware, so you pretty much control the deal. Your contracts are mutually agreed upon. Starting to see the difference?"[/color]
