ion began to get a little concerned when shadow started to shake

Her ears went back slightly in fear...

Vermillion notices that Shadow is shaking a bit. Was it out of true fear, or is she hiding it by faking, he doesn't know, but his judgment says that she must have some troubles in her past. He then decides it's best not to press it any further as he now proceeds to his next question.

"I think it's best not to press the subject any further as I do have other questions. Madam, aside from your powers and magic that I've seen before, is there any other special powers that you know? For instance, since you can heal people, I was wondering if you got like special hidden powers. You see, someone back at home specializes in healing, so I was wondering if there's anything else? Another special someone back at home is a very good singer, and another one is very good at crafting things with her magic. Do you have any other similar talents like that?" asked Vermillion

She calms down thankful he doesn't press her further. "I can do all three of those things. I can sing fairly well, I can craft things with my magic, and I can heal people. I can even resurrect them." She says to him.

Vermillion was really astonished from not expecting receiving quite a response from Shadow, especially since she can do all of those things, and can even resurrect people.

"You can resurrect people?! T-That's amazing! I would never expect such magic to exist. You're really are an amazing, one-of-a-kind, Neko, madam. ...That is what you are...yes...?" said Vermillion, acting pretty hesitant at the end as he didn't want to offend her if he got her species wrong

"in fact....she's resurrected me twice.."

ion admits, slightly embarrassed

She nods. "Yes that is what I am. I am the only one of my kind..." She states the last part sadly.

Shadow places her hand on Ion's shoulder. "I wanted to do it." she says and smiles.

"Wow... That's pretty amazing..." said Vermillion, a bit speechless before snapping out of it to respond to Shadow's answer "I...see... Last of your kind, huh..."

"This lady can virtually rival that of our creators, the Great Spirits. Maybe even surpass them in power. Especially since she says that she's the last of her kind... Maybe she's a very special kind of Neko. After all her powers and her likely past is likely why she seems to relate and trigger those memories of our creators. I just need one conformation before I'm satisfied. I don't need to ask her any more questions now." Vermillion said deep in thought

"Well about your singing, is it magical? If so, I would really want to know all about with as much detail as possible please...if that's okay with you, madam..." asked Vermillion

"It is alright with me. Let's see here... My singing is magical. When I sing, I make people want to do what I want. My eyes glow purple...I don't like to do it that often...only if absolutely necessary." She says.

"you can do WHAT now?...you used that on ME!"

ion said getting defensive...

"No! Never! I would never use it on you!" She says and hugs him. "I can sing without making people do what I want... I promise that I never used it on you and I never would..."

his expression softens

"you promise that you didn't use it on me?"

he sighs and hugs her back.

"ok...i believe you"

Vermillion was surprised at Shadow's response of her singing voice can actually control people. He really wasn't expecting that one.

"Your singing voice can control people? I wish I could see it, but there will never be a right time, nor place, to witness it. Especially since you don't want to use it, and I understand completely. There's no need for me see it, madam." said Vermillion

Vermillion then closes his eyes for a bit as he goes deep into his thoughts before reaching a decision.

"Alright, that's enough information that I needed. Madam, though your powers of your magical singing is different from her's, you're sort of like the splitting image of Lady Orica; which is why that accident trigger her memories that I've known of her...even though I was never there at that one time...that one time which she suffered so much..." said Vermillion, acting very sad enough to shed a few tears at the end "You fulfilled my request. For that I'm forever thankful of you, madam. Very well, you can ask me anything. Origin, Orica, even what I've held back of the information about myself. It's only fair."

"I do not wish to know anything. I know all that I need to know." She says.

Vermillion was really shocked at her response.

"W-What?! That's simply not possible. How can you say that you know all that you needed to know, without me even revealing at least one detail? Look, I understand that what you're coming from is that you're a very special Neko, but you can't know everything with just your own powers." said Vermillion

Vermillion is now very suspicious of Shadow as her response has really started to rub him the wrong way.

She chuckles. "I don't need to know anything about you except that you're nice, you mean no harm, and you don't seem like a bad person. That's all I need to know." she smiles.

"she can uh.....she can read minds..."

ion says slowly

"Yes I can, but I don't do it often unless I want to. I wouldn't read your mind unless you would allow me too." She says the last part to both Ion and Vermillion.

"She...can read minds...huh...? I see... Then, I'm not worried at all about it." said Vermillion, surprisingly rather calmly about the news that he has just heard "It's true that you said that I'm nice and don't mean any harm, and for that I thank you for your compliment, but are you sure that you don't want know anything despite your revealing so much about yourself in order to satisfy my confirmation?"
