"Weird is relative," says Helen. "I could show you yours if you want."

"You could - show me? How?"

Permalink

"It's just a square, to get an illusion of what your daemon would be if you had one."

Permalink

"Oh. One of those coin things. You have those? Well - all right. As long as my real soul stays where it belongs."

Helen produces a square (sunlight through pine needles) and wishes on it.

"I'm not sure what that is, but it's really cute," she says.

"...I don't know what it is either, but it is cute, yes," Serah agrees.

"We both have round, cute things," laughs Shura.

"Round cute souls," giggles Helen. "Aww."

"What would I do with it if I had it? Would I just - keep it at home in a pen, like a pet -"

"What, no!" exclaims Shura. "Ew! You're not a witch, so you'd have to keep him with you all the time. You could carry him or he'd sit on your shoulder or maybe he'd be fast enough to just follow you around. Daemons aren't pets."

"Witches can go far from their daemons, which is lucky for me because mine is a six-foot-tall bird," says Helen. "I'd barely be able to go indoors if Kal had to stay close like most daemons do."

"A six-f- that's enormous," says Serah.

"Yeah, Kalavar's a giant. Nicoa's more travel-sized," says Shura.

"I have the hugest daemon I've ever heard of," says Helen.

Permalink

"Does... that mean you have... I have no idea what that is supposed to mean," says Serah.

Permalink

"I think it means I'm peculiar."

Permalink
"Peculiar is Helen's word for all things that are unconventional in sometimes magic ways," Shura explains. "Especially her dad."

"...Is her dad another of Micaiah?"

"...Maybe? I don't know who Micaiah is."
Permalink

"Yes," says Helen. "Micaiah and Kas are both Jokers. Jokers are extremely peculiar."

"I can still remember back when Isabella met Micaiah," reminisces Serah. "It was terribly cute..."

"Isabella Amariah in our world is this legendary figure who went missing for like half a century before we were even born," says Shura.

"Oh. In my world she's going to be the Archangel in a couple of years, and Micaiah the angelico."

"I want to hear the cute story!" says Helen.

Permalink

"Well, er -" Serah peers at the witches' arms, sees no Kisses, and rolls up her sleeve. "We get these, when we're babies," she says. "And they say that when they light up it means you've found your true love. When Isabella and Micaiah met theirs were glowing like falling stars and he looked at her like she was the whole world."

Permalink

"Awwwwwww," says Helen.

Permalink

"And soon enough she had made sure that if she was going to be Archangel he was going to be angelico, and they got pregnant, and married - I planned the wedding and it was beautiful if I do say so myself. And then they had a little angel baby who looked just like you, and then three more."

Helen giggles. "That is cute."

Permalink
"I wonder if all the - Jokers and Bells - meet similar ways - I mean not exactly the same, because you're me and I'm you, sort of, and I wasn't there when the ones in my world did, but I wonder if the story would be alike somehow?" Shura says.

"I have no idea. I don't know how any of this works," shrugs Serah.

Peninnah has been wandering around aimlessly when she sees someone she recognizes. She makes her way up to Serah and hugs her leg.

Permalink

"Hi, Pen'," Serah says, petting the little angel's hair. "This one is number four. Are there more of her too?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure, but I don't think so," says Helen. "Hello, number four."
