Entertaining the Scared

[Lorelei]

Lorelei looked at the man surprised. "Would you really do that?" she asked, amazed. "You do not have to."

[Sanaki]

"Why wouldn't I? it'll be my treat " he replied laughing a little before discussing with the shop owner upon how much the total would come to for the dress and it's modifications the weird look he was given before changed to a happy smile at the mention of money.

After he finished talking he turned to her "Alright just tell them what you want changed and I'm sure they'll happily oblige." he said returning to his book and writing something down (probably the cost) and putting it back.

[Lorelei]

Lorelei nodded and discussed modifications with the worker. They happily agree'd to do so and said to come back the next day to pick the dress up.

Before leaving, Lorelei changed out of the dress and into her previous costume. She returned the dress to the worker whom would alter it. She waved before going back to Sanaki. "Alright, thank you for everything. I apologize for taking so long."

[Sanaki]

"Ah it was no trouble at all, would you like to go elsewhere now? the day is still young" he asked, this was turning into quite the unique day for him and he didn't see reason to stop the 'tour'.

[Lorelei]

"Well, anywhere is fine!" Lorelei said, she was still unsure of what else the town had to offer. "It has been interesting so far. I look forward to seeing more of this town."

[Sanaki]

"Well it's your 'tour' so you have to decide not me, but my suggestion is the garden since alot of the flowers should be in bloom" he shurgged, feeling more stares burn into the back of his skull for his words.

[Lorelei]

"Alright, let us go there." Lorelei motioned her hands for Sanaki to lead the way.

[Sanaki]

"Alright then, away we go" he headed towards the castle which was always in plain site "So maybe your answer fell on deaf ears, or maybe you didn't answer so i'll ask again: what are you? unless you'd rather not answer." he felt rude like he was forcing the question on her.

[Lorelei]

"Oh!" Lorelei hadn't realized that she didn't answer the question. "I am a doll brought to life with magic."

[Sanaki]

"Wow really? thats pretty cool." the dresses were making sense now "I wonder what kind of magic he used, also what happened to your eye?" he noticed the eyepatch but had forgotten to ask.

[Lorelei]

"Mama brought me back to life. She is very powerful." Lorelei explained. " I do not know what happened. Mama told me someone stole it before I was alive."

[Sanaki]

"Your mama? okay then." he was sure now that she was a doll but that raised more questions "Someone stole it? thats unfortunate, while if i ever see it i'll be sure to get it back for you. Also...how do you know she is your mama? i'm not doubting you but what makes you so sure?" he was a little suspisous of this 'mama' character, it was another thing that seemed a little off.

[Lorelei]

Lorelei tilted her head, confused. "If I am correct, a mama is someone who gives life to a person? Since she gave me life, she is my mama."

[Sanaki]

"Umm sorta that's one way of looking at it I suppose, I've always seen 'mama's raise that which they give life to and nurture them until they are ready to live on their own, also why wasn't she at the play? i thought that was something they do." questions flooded his mind about this person.

[Lorelei]

"No, she was not there. Mama is with me in mind. She knows where I am and what I am doing, so she did not need to be there." Lorelei tried explaining the complex situation. "Mama tells me what to do although she is not here physically."

[Sanaki]

"Oh um okay then i think i understand: she communicates with you with telepathy, and can see the world through your eyes, or is she just in your mind?" he fought the urge to say to her face to she if Lorelei's 'mama' reacted in anyway, they were approaching the garden.

[Lorelei]

"Well, she can see whatever I allow her to see. She can hear what I want her to hear. I can shut her out of my mind, but that is not a very good thing to do." Lorelei further explained.

[Sanaki]

"Why is that not a good thing to do? don't you want privacy?" he questioned further he curiosity was keeping him from changing subjects.

[Lorelei]

"Privacy?" Lorelei questioned. " I am a doll, I do not need privacy."

[Sanaki]

"W-well don't you just want to keep things to yourself some times?, your 'mama' dosen't need to know every little thing you do does she?" the thought that she had almost no privacy was a little unsettling to him.
