[nospaces] [attr="class","xio"]She blinks at the name Giselle before she realizes that Eirin referring to her. Silently, she follows Eirin's orders. Giselle swings her legs over the bed. Her knees wobble as she stands, suddenly unstable, but she catches herself before she falls. [break][break] She twirls, carefully avoiding the remnants of her old self. Around her is her is flesh. What scraps of brown hair there are lay at her feet. She runs a hand through one of hair strands; it's purple, the color of lavender. [break][break] Giselle takes the card and looks at it in her hands; an NFC card, only given to acolytes of the coven. It's everything she could have wanted; a new life. It means more than just status, it means that she's won the game. Like what Eirin said. [break][break] She had reason to believe that if she had just worked a little harder, then it might've been awarded to her. But maybe that's why she was meant to fall. [break][break] Giselle Reid feels her chest tighten, her vision blurs. She had finally won, hadn't she? She'd finally gotten what she wanted. [break][break] "Thank you...thank you, Eirin!" Giselle says, there are hot tears running down her face, and she goes to hug Eirin out of joy. [break][break] Xiomara always had a bleeding heart, didn't she?

Eirin's not much of a hugger. Even when the girl—Giselle Reid, in the flesh again—comes to her with hot tears and a warm embrace, the alchemist simply holds her at arm's length, or attempts to side-step the motion entirely. For a second, she almost forgets to hide the look of irritation. She really is too comfortable around Xiomara, it seems. [break][break]
"Don't thank me, Giselle," she says. Once Xiomara is sufficiently outside of her proximity, Eirin puts an elbow to the arm of her chair, and her head goes into her hand. There is a rare smile, proven genuine by its softness, by the fact that it does not seem attached to any sort of goal or deception when she says: [break][break]
"I'm the one that had you killed, after all." [break][break]
Her green eyes become lidded, reminiscent. [break][break]
"Giselle was known as an aquos duelist, but she was a student of alchemy, like anyone worth their mind is," Eirin begins. Her tone is unusually quiet—even Xiomara would have to fall silent to hear her. "She—you—had a brief career in Maestro, even, but very little spell potential."[break][break]
Spell potential, of course, is the term used to describe the practicality of magic—entirely different from a theoretical understanding of a new domain. Some witches lack spell potential in a second domain, despite years of hard work. Some, like Eirin, choose never to try another domain.[break][break]
"Maestro runs itself, of course. I had given you a project, but there was a decision to fire you." A flick of her wrist. Nothing of importance. "I thought little of it, until..."
[break][break]
The rest of the story, told in Eirin's dry monotone: Giselle Reid is caught stealing research. (Here, Eirin is vague and skirts the details. Xiomara gets the impression Giselle Reid is not quite all that the alchemist is making her out to be). The girl obtains a contract go hunt daemons. And the Kingmaker, well—
[break][break]
"—I always collect a debt."

[nospaces] [attr="class","xio"]Eirin was always the same; she never did change, did she? And Xiomara did not either. Her arms wrap around empty space, and she remembers that the older witch doesn't like physical touch. She smiles bashfully anyways, clasping her hands in embarrassment. Ah, she should've known better, right? [break][break] Giselle steps back, giving Eirin her space as she always did. Despite the rejection, Eirin gives her a rare smile, genuine. It surprises her to see something so...soft. Enraptured, she stays silent. [break][break] And so Eirin explains the circumstances behind Giselle. [break][break] Giselle Reid was a well known duelist, in aquos and alchemy. She betrayed Eirin, and that's why she's dead. [break][break] Of course, Giselle can tell that there's probably more that Eirin is not saying, because that's how the game goes. And she doesn't question it, instead staring at her own body, at her hands. She imagines it covered in blood. [break][break] She''s a little sorry for herself. Why did she-- Giselle--lose? [break][break] But there's not much use in thinking about that, is there? All that matters now, is that the Giselle that's standing in front of Eirin is the one that's alive. She can't hide the emotions on her face; that may never change. It's a mixture of nervousness, excitement, determination...and a little sadness, for a life lost. This debt of hers--was it repaid? [break][break] Giselle doesn't quite know how to react. But in the very least, she knows how to say thanks. "Regardless...thank you, Eirin. As Xiomara." She nods, smiling softly. Her own name sounds strange still, in a voice that was never been to be heard again. "I won't waste what you've given me."[attr="class","pietag"] Admin [newclass=".xio"]background: var(--secondbg);color: var(--iconcolor); font-family: 'Jost';font-size: 13px;line-height: 1.8; width: 475px; margin: 0 auto; padding:5em 4em 4em 4em;text-align:justify; box-sizing:border-box;} .xio a { text-transform:uppercase; width:fit-content; margin:0 auto; display:inline-block; background-color:var(--boardbg); padding:0.6em 0.8em;font-size:0.8em;} .xio .notes { display: block;font-size: 0.8em;letter-spacing: 0.05em;padding: 4em 4em 0 4em;text-align: center;border-top: 1px solid var(--mainbg); margin-top: 4em; } .pietag { margin-top:4em; text-align:center; } div[rel=user-16] .xio b { color: var(--sybaris); [/newclass]

Eirin frowns. Thanks is always foreign to her—everything is a deal, a transaction, a transfer of power. If Xiomara feels grateful, Eirin can't help but wonder where she's went wrong. [break][break]
"Keep your thanks," she says, somewhat curt. "You are going to stay out of trouble and do what I ask."[break][break]
The air tenses, for a moment. But Eirin offers a shrug to the silence, as though defeating her own intensity. [break][break]
"Nothing you haven't already done." [break][break]
Stray cats never need to be asked to bring home their hunts—they do it all on their own accord. And Giselle Reid will hardly ever be able to manifest a familiar in Delphi, but Eirin has use of a piece on the far reaches of the board. [break][break]
"And whatever happens—there's no going back, Giselle." [break][break]
Eirin never speaks in riddles—she means it literally. The procedure cannot be undone in any meaningful way. Xiomara' flesh and bones have been replaced—this is no illusion, no mere charm. It's transfiguration. And, grabbing the chin of the newly-made girl and twisting her face, Eirin Leyfson can't help but smile at the beauty of her own work.

[nospaces] [attr="class","xio"]There is something to say about someone who is always transactional; every favor is expected to be returned. Eirin operates on that very principle. Xiomara Giselle has known this her entire life. When Eirin begins to scold her, she shrinks slightly, her eyes drawn to the floor in quiet contemplation. "Yes ma'am." She says, showing some dignity for someone who requested--no, demanded it. [break][break] And yet Giselle cannot hide the bashful smile of hers, something akin to a child getting caught. On her new skin, it feels a bit shy, as if Giselle's new body had a different interpretation for her wayward thoughts. Of course. There is no going back, ever. [break][break] Xiomara is dead. Giselle Reid lives. It is an act of necromancy, if she had ever witnessed one. [break][break] The fact both made filled her with a sense of dread, like a stone had landed on her chest, but also excitement, for the things that she was now capable of. [break][break] Eirin grabs her chin, pulling her close and twisting her head. Strangely enough, there was no warmth in it; only the detached love that comes from an artist and the culmination of their life's work. But this wasn't a moment for grief, Giselle thinks. She smiles, reveling in attention that wasn't even hers to keep, and whispers, just under her breath. "There's no going back."
