Lev regarded the Skullkid that yet again approached him without any sign of hesitation or caution with amusement. [color=teal][i]Ghostly? My word.[/i][/color] he thought, regarding the offered lantern not unlike a parent would regard a toddler's piece of "art"; humour the little gremlin so it doesn't feel completely disregarded. Jillian was something else, alright.

[color=teal]"Sure. I'll start you off with a free sample, then I'm going to charge you once I have you hooked,"[/color] Lev replied, holding his own lantern aloft and willing a projection of its flames into the cradle of Jillian's lantern, which brilliantly illuminated within mere moments. The Poe retracted his lantern and gave berth to the Skullkid. [color=teal]"Now try not to burn the place dow-"[/color]

Lev was suddenly, and rudely, interrupted by something crashing into him from behind, forcing him down and out of the way. The thing about being a largely immaterial spirit meant that you weren't inclined to carry much mass, and he gave way easily to the collapsing Felicia, who had came through the ghastly portal that had swallowed them all. Lev's eyes narrowed; today was turning into a series of events that were far more intimate and touchy-feeling than he was strictly accustomed to and comfortable with. People tended not to bump into ghosts or ask them for favours; such people were usually regarded as mentally ill and resigned to the darkest dungeons one could imagine. Lev was still deciding if the mortals gathered qualified for such an exclusive accommodation.

He stared down at the Hylian woman, who looked utterly like a fish out of water, and felt rather surprised when she apologized to him. That was a new feeling; it usually didn't occur to, well anyone, that they were capable of inconveniencing a Poe.

[color=teal]"It's, ah... fine. I'd offer a hand to help you up, but I'm pretty sure that would go about as well if you tried to do the same for a Goron. No offense."[/color] Lev said with a facsimile of a shrug. [color=teal]"Not to say you're large or anything. You Hylians kind of carry the crushing weight of looming mortality with you, and I'm just not that strong. I can pretend, if that helps."[/color]
