after pearl calmed down and was okay enough to speak, phoenix started to go through everything with her calmly and slowly once again
'take your time pearl, it's okay, you can stop talking whenever you want if you need a minuet or longer, do you understand?'
she nodded at him, showing him she understood what he was saying to her
'i understand'
'okay, whenever your ready, you can start, okay?'
'okay..'
she agreed, ..she took a moment to herself, taking in a deep breathe, then frowned as she averted her eyes
'I... After dinner that night, I did go to the Inner Temple. With a pot full of the leftover gravy, I saw the picture on the hanging scroll near the Sacred Cavern. I was sure it was the Master of Kurain, like it said in the letter'
phoenix nodded, that made sense
'okay, ..and then?'
'Well, it was already way past 10 when I got there because of all the snow. So I went to the Inner Temple guest area, I thought I could wait there until the training was over'
'hmm, did you not go to the inner temple because you didn't want to interrupt mystic maya's training?'
she nodded
'yes, Mystic Maya's main training had already started, and I couldn't interrupt it! So I just stayed where I was and prayed for her to get through it. But then... I... ...'
'it's okay, take your time pearl, their is no rush'
she blushed red as she sheepishly admitted
'..i-i fell asleep, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I just couldn't help it!'
'it's okay pearl, you need sleep anyways, it's not for you to stay up so long, it's very unhealthy'
he reassured her, though she was still embarrassed, she was glad he wasn't upset with her
'When I woke up, it was morning. I tried not to cry, but... ...Dusky Bridge wasn't there anymore and there was no one in the Training Hall. I thought everyone had left me because I overslept! I threw the letter into the incinerator, then I heated up the leftover gravy, and...'
she trailed off, phoenix gently shushed her, running his fingers threw her hair
'shhh, take you time pearl it's okay'
that's when larry and his dumbass inerjected
'It must've been pretty scary for you, Pearl. I know what it's like. Nick used to leave me behind when I fell asleep at school, too'
phoenix turned around and shot him a glare to shut the fuck up or else he would get punched in the mouth, larry jumped at his glare, shuddering in fear, phoenix then turned his attention back on pearl, going back to his nurturing side, pearl pointed at the letter as she explained
'It was written right in my mother's letter. It said, "As soon as you hear the lights out bell, you must channel her spirit." I was on my way over to the Inner Temple when I heard the bell ring'
he nodded, then asked her
'did you channeled Dahlia Hawthorne's spirit?'
pearl frowned as she shook her head
'No... I tried, but I couldn't do it!, I've never failed at channeling someone. This is the first time it's happened. I tried and I tried and I tried... Yesterday, this morning, the whole time! But I just couldn't do it...!'
