"To replace the god. How long do you intend to keep playing this game?"

"It's a fun game! And I've never gotten to talk to a person outside my body before. We can move on to other things if you'd rather, though."

The Keres glances at Hisame.

"I like her." Then, to the woman: "Though I'm rather curious - there's another person in your body? What are they like?"

"She's my person. But she isn't talking right now."

"And why is that?" Eliana asks.

"Our train crashed. We fell into the Void, and I stepped forward to protect her. She hasn't spoken since."

"Do the trains go between cities, as well as into the Void?"

"The Void is what's between cities. The trains go between the cities, always, though sometimes you'll get a new track forming. Sometimes it goes somewhere sensible. Sometimes the explorers never come back."

"What made you decide to protect your person?"

"It's what I do."

"Are you a fey?"

"No. I'm my person's headmate. She made me. I don't know that she's a normal human, at least not anymore, but we were born in a city."

"I see."

"I'm curious what you all are planning to do with me, now that you have some answers for your questions."

"It seems we are in need of a native guide. And this group appears to make somewhat a habit of challenging gods, so you may fit in well."

She laughs.

"I don't know this city - haven't even figured out where I washed up yet - but I suppose I can be helpful all the same."

"A strangely familiar set of priorities," the Keres says, teleporting back to stand beside Hisame. "To fight a god before determining your location."

"Perhaps we'll get along, then."

"It is to be hoped."

"What should I call all of you?"

"I am Eliana Fabil, a magister of Tevinter."

"We are the Keres, harvesters of the slain."

"I am Uchiha Hisame, bringer of death. Though truly, call me Hisame."

"You may call both inhabitants of this body Nausicaa, then, I suppose. Her name for me is a bit more private."
