[27/07/18 16:50] :Sushi sits in seiza
[27/07/18 16:51] :Nava looks at Aeoshattr , her white eyes observing him as she tilts her head.
[27/07/18 16:51] Nava:Aeoshattr.
[27/07/18 16:56] Nava:I've completed my preparations. I may not be able to consciously attend the ritual, but I
[27/07/18 16:57] Nava:I have done what was needed. The rest is up to all of you.

[27/07/18 17:59] Mallos:dont think there aren't other ways to hurt you
[27/07/18 18:05] Nava:Foolishly attempt all you wish. Your desire to hurt me comes from your own pain. And it will feed it. In the end, you'll become a frail beast that can never nourish itself.
[27/07/18 18:05] Mallos:arrogant naive human
[27/07/18 18:07] Mallos:How many times can I tell you I'm trying to help, before you WILL listen
[27/07/18 18:08] Nava:I will not continue this discussion as the Eclipse grows near. Use this time to reflect and prepare for the changes to come.
