To Dispel the Demon

[Ricia]

"Any thing or one who can give their consent can be your familiar." Buba told Beck, "Once a familiar says yes, they can not change their mind... only you can beak it."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"That ... sounds sort of ... well... onesided," Beck told Buba softly

 

[Ricia]

"Tends to be. But you should be always warry of your Familiar's feelings." Buba told Beck. "That is your job, not theirs."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I... I don't want anyone to be unhappy," Beck said

 

[Ricia]

"Then you work hard for for them."Buba told Beck, "Think about asking her. She has gone this far for you already."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck held the gem tighly to his chest. "I... I don't know how," he said more like he was scared to ask what if he wasn't worthy of it what if he messed up?

 

[Ricia]

"What do you mean you don't know how. You asked." Buba said with a sigh, pressing her fingers to her forehead lightly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I... I... I don't ask for things," he told her. He did what others af him.

 

[Ricia]

Buba sighed and leaned back in annoyance.


It was when Haven appeared, "Please stop pressuring Beck to do things he does not want to do."


"For the love of Raffer, it is just a question." Buba said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Haven, how are you feeling?" Beck asked her. "Are... are you hungry?" he wasnt sure if she had to eat or not but he'd fix her a meal if she did.

 

[Ricia]

"I don't eat. Than you. I pretended to eat." She told Beck. "I have no reason to pretend anymore." The rare moment of soft yesterday seem to have disappeared and Haven was back to the weird cold monotone normal.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck smiled at her "Oh... ok," he told her awkwardly. "Do... you wanna sit down?" he asked scooting to make room for her.

 

[Ricia]

Haven nodded and took the seat. She could move it herself, but it would be hard. "Thank you." She said again.


Buba sighed before standing, "I'm going to check on my children." Buba said before walking out of the shop.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"ah." Beck looked at her "I think she's annoyed with me," Beck said softly when she left.

 

[Ricia]

"She wants you to have more of a back bone." Haven told Beck, rather straightforward.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck looked at Haven "I... I don;t know how... I'm scared," he told her

 

[Ricia]

"You are safe now...." Haven told Beck with a soft nod.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don't feel very safe... I feel naked... and Vincent... still scares me, he... is so strong. I'm... not," he looked at her "how do you stay so strong Haven?"

 

[Ricia]

"I have a goal. Something I want to do...." Haven told Beck. "I want to go free slaves. Help them from their miserable lives... so they don't have to suffer like I did."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You want to help free people... thats really sweet Haven," Beck said "you are really pretty amazing you know?"

 

[Ricia]

Haven blinked a bit at Beck, not sure how to respond to the praise. "What do you... want to do Beck?" She asked him. "That is what you need to figure out."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Right now... I feel so confused muddled, "He told her "I'm not sure what to do... or what I can do. I'll learn magic Haven... with that I can do so much more,"

 

[Ricia]

"That is normal.... I'll be here. Call me, when ever you may need me." She told Beck, "I'll be here to listen or keep you company."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You ...are a great friend Haven, thank you," he told her with a smile

 

[Ricia]

Haven smiled lightly at Beck and nodded. She knew Buba was standing at the door way a good portion of the talk. She was hopping Beck was going to ask, but he didn't. She walked into the room before brushing her hair to the side, "Come Beck.. your first lesson will not be in magic, but in training demons." Buba told him.
