caressthedarkness posting in srwu Aug. 8th, 2014 02:12 pm)[After the recent bout of depressing events, Seta receives a sudden phone call in the middle of the day, just as she is about to indulge in her lunch.
A holographic video is projected from her phone, and on it, the image of a well-endowed silver-haired woman.]
...Seta? Can you hear me?
[This comes as a surprise to Seta, but a rather delightful one.]
Madame? It's been a while...I...
The purpose of this call isn't idle chatter, you fool. Now, listen closely...there is a matter that requires your attention, challenging though that may be. [She frowns slightly.] ...Not too long ago, you came into contact with Kellin, did you not?
...Yes...
If she visits you again, inform me immediately. She has been behaving rather suspiciously in the recent months, and has been refusing to share what exactly she is up to. This is absolutely inexcusable.
But I do not understand...Astara wouldn't be doing anything harmful...would she?
That is why we must question her, my foolish student. You are her closest acquaintance, so this will be your responsibility. [A pause.] And before I forget...
Yes...?
Do not get too attached to the people there - be they human or otherwise. Someday, you will return to working on your own, and your dependance on the help of some garbage will be detrimental to your abilities. There is a reason why I wasn't too fond of this agreement for outside help.
Understood...
...Don't misinterpret this as some form of concern, either. We are already short on members as it is. To have one return to us in a state lacking in substance would bring shame not only to me as your teacher, but to our organization as a whole. You know very well that I will not tolerate useless trash under my command. That is all.
[With that, she cuts the transmission, leaving Seta speechless.]

If it is part of my heritage...and a part of myself...then I cannot outgrow it.
Even if that was possible, I am not human. Discarding a part of me, to try to become something I am not...after what happened here before...I realize now that is wrong.
So...I will be myself...

I am glad for your decision. Whatever it is - I will accept it.
...
Your Madame's concernes are misplaced. She has nothing to be worried about.

But as you have said...after looking back, I discovered that this is what I have been doing.
The rest will show itself in time...so, thank you.

Perhaps when you have free time, you could tell me more about your race?

Of course.
