*Lorelei crossed her arms over her chest, watching Chroi in silence.*
"What's he doing?"
*Lorelei glanced at Shandi, her expression rather serious.* "Scrying... Seeing something that he cannot see with his own eyes at the moment."

Chroì stared into the image, riveted as he watched her sister wave her arm around, ange, rage and fuy etched on her features.
And then suddenly her shoulders slumped, all the fight taken out of her. He didn't look up as Shandi asked quietly, "Whos that?" He said, "My sister. Half-sister." His head began to ache slightly as the smell of the herbs swirled around him. "Where is she?" "Shes back in Ireland. I left without telling her. You can see she didn't take it in a good way."

"Why did you leave?" Shandi asked, "and without telling her?" Shandi looked slightly concerned, it was for his sister. "I hope she's not too mad at you." She came closer to Chroi and stared into the water. "I hope she's not too upset."

"Why did you leave? and without telling her? I hope she's not too mad at you.I hope she's not too upset." Chroì watched her sister sitting down on the large bed as he said, "I didn't want her accompanying me." He gave a short, bitter laugh, "A human-demon hybird." He pushed the bowl away as she asked, "Human-demon hybird? You arn't human?"
Chroì gave her a humorless smile before he doused out the fire, "I was fully human before I faced off Vocah. Now, I carry not only his powers but also part of his demon with me."

Shandi was shocked, to say the least. Her mouth hung open, and she stared at him. "I had no clue that that could happen. I had never heard of it before." she gulped almost unnoticeably. Then realizing her mought was agape, she quickly shut it.

Chroì nodded, "I know the feeling. I hadn't known that that was even possible." He handed the jug back to Lorelei, "Thank you."
He sat down again cross-legged on the floor and pointed at the floor, "Sit down Shandi. I don't bite."

"Sit down Shandi. I don't bite."
*Lorelei smirked slightly, trying to overlook the fact that this man was half her kind... After all, it wasn't by choice... It came from slaying a demon, not being loved by one.* "You don't... But she does..." *She left to go put the jug away.*

"Oh, sorry." she sat down by Chroi, still thinking about the half-demon thing. "how does that happen?" she asked no one inparticular.

Chroì chuckled, "Then I trust her not to bite me." But the laughter evaporated from his visage as Shandi asked, "how does that happen?"
He frowned, "I'm not sure on it myself. When I was but a lad, I had some power. Natural power mind you, got it from my mothers side. But after facing off Vocah, I somehow absorbed his powers. And instead of dying, here I am."
He gave her a wry smile, "I guess cutting him off mid-way his spell was a bad idea." He moved his cloak over his arm, hiding it from the others view.

Shandi saw him move the cloak, she gulped, "why do you hide your arm?" she stared intently at him. "is there something wrong with it?"

Chroì looked at her for a moment silently. Debating on how she hadn't noticed it before. He pulled the cloak away slowly, showing her his deformed, skeletal arm.
"Thats what happens when you have too much black magicks seeping into your system. Especially when you are a human. Your body began to wither away slowly."

Shandi gasped, quite loudly, her eyes widening, jumping slightly. She tried to say something, but couldn't get the words up, "I..uh..hu..." and things like that were the only sounds to escape her mouth. She finally closed her mouth, and quickly looked away, a shiver running down her spine.

Chroì smiled. A slightly sadistic, ruthless smile. "You really weren't expecting that answer were you? What had you thought? That I had accidentally nicked myself with my own scythe....?"

Shandi shook her head vigorously, "N-no," she stuttered, "I...really didn't know what to expect.." she held her stuffed bat a little closer, and whispered,"...but certainly not that." she continued to stare at the floor, never lifting her head once.

Chroì raised an eyebrow and shook his head. He was used to such reactions when he told , the few people who knew, about his arm.
Each of them hadn't really taken it in a good way. He sat silently, watching Shandi stare at the floor. "Don't worry. I'm not here to kill you. I'm here tracking a demon. Speaking off...." He looked up Lorelei, "Perchance you've heard of a demon by the Shahjan come through town?"
