Jiro: Echidna?
Echidna: Yours truly. <presents a courtesy of good faith>
Jiro: You're a Witch! Aren't you?
Echidna: My! How can you tell? <amazed>
Jiro: By the color of your dress. You look like the type that enjoys turning people into frogs. <perspective>
Echidna: When I feel provoked, I will. But, I'm in an exceptional mood today... Jiro-sama.
-How does she know my name? I haven't even introduced myself.-
Jiro: Let's get out of here, Subaru. <whispering to my friend>
Subaru: Wait. I have questions, Jiro. Dire ones that require knowledge. Shouldn't we-
Jiro: No...we can figure this out together. We shouldn't depend on a mere stranger to handle our business. We always find a way.
Subaru: And if we don't.
Jiro: ...... <(silent)>
Subaru: This is our chance to finally receive answers from one of the few who know much about Sanctuary. Let's just give Echidna an opportunity to aid us.
Jiro: Why? She's clearly after something valuable. All we can manage to do now is-
Subaru: Ask. <(clarifies)>
Echidna: Pardon me gentlemen, but would you mind sitting for a cup of tea? You must be tired after a long awaited reunion. <acting like a maiden>
Subaru: Reunion?
Echidna: Of course, Subaru Natsuki. I summoned you here so we can "bond". Why else would you have came... you seek what all creatures desire. Most of all, what each individual wants?
Subaru: And that is?
Echidna: Knowledge. <expresses intently> The ability to figure the time of day a person may die, what beasts were created and by whom, when will the next season finally arrive, etc. All of your answers can finally be... <(coughs)> answered.
Subaru: Well. I do have a few, if you're interested in hearing. <uncertain>
Echidna: Go on. I'm open-ears. <sips her tea>
Subaru: Where am I?
Echidna: Spiritually, you have just crossed over to the astral plain from my tomb.
Subaru: Whoa! We're at tomb. Yours... Then... hold on, let me get this straight. I am at your tomb, except the alluring woman I am chatting with is actually a Ghost.
Echidna: Correct on 1 account. I am a ghost from the past... I lived in this realm as a Witch for a length of 400+ years
Subaru: That is seriously a long time ago. Wait, then how are you still a part of this world?
Echidna: Isn't it obvious?! I linked my soul to the "closest" vessel or object I can convert into.
Subaru: Awesome. See, Jiro. She's not so bad than you expected. I'm sorry if we offended you in any way. My friend here is just super-cautious of new folk. Isn't that right? <(antagonizing me)>
Jiro: You could say that. <tapping his porcelain cup impatiently>
Echidna: This "one" doesn't seem to like me very much.
Subaru: Pfhpt, please. He's actually worried and a little eager to return "Home". You can tell by his grim face. Come on, Jiro. Smile.
-nudging me to at least show that I'm satisfied to be here. That would be an understatement.-
