"I see! It must be hard to pick between painting the walls and covering them with foil", Morwena remarked (and felt a couple of her brain cells die in the process because both things were absolutely dumb things to do with walls). "And you...changed halls? As in, you painted them in different colors? Or did you do magic on them?" Now wouldn't that be a handy spell to learn against assassins! Morwena then thought about the guards. Well, they clearly wouldn't appreciate Yoshi's art enough, given how hopeful the girl sounded. "I bet they will be stunned in awe! But well, they are dumb men. Maybe you shouldn't give them a such detailed picture to keep for themselves, but as one we wanted to put into the servant's wing so that everyone can enjoy it." Because really, putting the picture on the wall with a protective spell was safe. Giving it to the men, having them throw it away for sure and then Yoshi maybe checking on them and her picture later and then surely wrecking havoc on the guards and probably half the fortress in her dragon form would be bad. Very, very bad.

Morwena giggled. "I'm sure Lillynette enjoyed that, though I'm not so sure about Starrk. Was he excited about the foil, too?" She guessed that he probably really, really hadn't been. "Ah, even though a human life is so short, the two months since we drank it are not long enough to see if our aging has really slowed down yet. The doctor is trying to find out if our cells die slower now, but the spell for that is complicated and takes time. The hairpins, though, are amazing already - they help my Dear so much against the back pains. And I know he uses his book a lot, too. He carries it with him all the time, though he still keeps his other records in case something might happen one day to one or the other."

“I can do both! Sometimes I paint the foil, but not always. I like the way it’s all shiny and pretty, rather than having paint on it. But the walls change so much, that sometimes my paint walls end up on the other side of the castle. But my foil walls never move.” She shook her head resolutely. No one would take away her beloved foil walls. “Oh, yes. Our halls change. It’s not really magic. It’s just how Hueco Mundo is. We have a special room where we can monitor our entire castle, and make the halls change to confuse people. It’s so much fun to bother Apacci, Sung-sun and Mila Rose. They get the maddest.” She giggled happily, twirling in her spot, her little dress flaring up as her curls bounced on her head. “If you want to put it up for everyone to see, I wouldn’t say no! I think everyone should see my beautiful masterpieces!” She spread her arms wide, her mouth stretched in a huge smile. Her smile fell slightly, at the mention of Starrk.

“Starrk-kun doesn’t get excited about anything. Ever. Not even the most amazing of foils. Lilynette-chan really liked getting donations, so she’s my new assistant! She even takes notes for me!” She puffed out her chest proudly, looking incredibly smug. “I’m glad you’re enjoying the hairpins and the book. I’m sure the potion worked too; nothing I find is ever out of date, and almost always works. There was this one time when I gave Starrk-kun an amulet to wear, and it exploded. But that’s a different story.” She waved her hand faintly, looking unconcerned. “The stuff I gave you was relatively safe, unless used improperly. But you guys are so smart, you’ll never use it wrong, I bet!” She peered up at Morwena. “What about Mister Bentner? You said he was enchanting something? Where is he? Can we see him?”

[Shieba]

"Oh my, how exactly do you make that foil stick to the walls in the first place? It seemed to rip pretty easily, I must say! And I must admit, doing that to your castle sounds very convenient. Well, if you're in charge of the changing, that is. The confusion would be bad. I bet our guards would be totally helpless if everything would change here. Of course, I would hate to get confused, too...like if my Dear would call me and I couldn't find him!" Especially not if she got called for sex. Missing that and getting punished for not arriving would be the end of the world. Maybe it was good that their hallways never changed... "Very good then, deary! We'll put it up for everyone. I'm sure the guards will tell all the others who made it, now that they saw you, which is even better than just my Dear and me giving it to them to put up!" 'This is a picture of our more-than-powerful-ally who you met, so put that up there' was definitely better than 'Here is a stick figure picture. Put it up' and would mean less people talking behind her Dear's back, meaning less people to kill and replace. Perfect.

"Yes, he seemed like the type", Morwena agreed. "Too bad! But at least he does the work, huh? And with an extra assistant, I'm sure you can get even more foil. A-and well...I'm pretty sure we use the things right. My Dear analyzed all of them before using them and they all work as intended, so I'm sure we're fine." Hopefully. They still were objects from other worlds, after all. But if Morwena's Dear deemed them safe to use, they had to be. "And that amulet story sounds so very interesting!" She definitely wanted Yoshi to talk more about magical items and less about foil. Maybe Yoshi even remembered searching for that potion that would stop Morwena from aging then. "My Dear should be almost done with his spell by now, I think. He has more work to do, but I'm sure he'll have some time for you, too. Shall we go towards the chamber he should be in? We can wait for him there if he isn't done when we arrive yet!"

[MillietheWarrior]

“That’s special magic stuff!” Yoshi exclaimed. “I found it at one of the markets of superness. It’s called SUPER GLUE! I think they sell it only at the markets of superness, because I couldn’t find it anywhere else. I found lots and lots of super glue. And when I asked Starrk-kun and Lilynette-chan to help me, Lilynette-chan glue Stark-kun’s sword to his back.” Yoshi’s giggle sounded terrifyingly devious and evil, especially coming from such a small, innocent looking girl. “Halibel-sama was  not amused, but Yoshi certainly was!” She wrapped her arms around herself and craned her body to the side, bending in a way that looked gravity-defying-ly impossible.  “I love changing the castle around! One time I changed them around so many times that Starrk-kun was lost for five hours! He never gets mad though…sometimes he just sits down and sleeps and waits for them to go back to normal.”

Her smile faltered slightly, and she grumbled a bit about lazy people not doing things properly, before her smile widened once more. “Oh, I am sure you’re using them right. You seem good at magic things and stuff!” She waved her hand sin an airy and dramatic display, as if indicating that it was some sort of non-verbal sign for ‘being good at magic.’ Then, changing subjects dramatically, she pointed ahead down the hall, and began marching down it. “To Mister Bentner then, at once!” she crowed, before she paused and turned back around to Morwena. “Wait. Which way do we go?”

[Shieba]

"I see!" Morwena nodded. She heavily suspected that this 'super glue' was probably just normal, strong glue that was very common in Evelon, but only got sold in supermarkets and possibly art supply stores. "How convenient! Maybe the people of Evelon invented the super glue especially for the foil so that it could stick to walls?" That was, of course, complete nonsense, but Morwena was still worried that the foil was used for wrapping food mainly and therefore often ended up in trash cans later - and, with Yoshi running around Evelon now a lot, she would probably see this sooner or later. So if she might end up thinking that the thrown-away foil was not a horrible crime but just the trash remaining from architects building castles out of foil, it would be better for everyone - especially her and Bentner, since being friends with a dragon who might end up smiting innocent people this way would probably be bad for the whole 'low profile' thing. And once Morwena was done deciding this, she figured she needed to regain some brain substance that had gotten lost from thinking about castles made out of foil. "Maybe you should rather glue Lillynette to Starrk for a bit", she then mused to switch the topic. "Or Nel to Nnoitora or...some more clothes to Mila Rose because damnit, she wears so little clothes and she clearly tried to use that fact to get my Dear's attention!" Morwena clearly hadn't forgotten about the woman they had met in the desert and who had led them to becoming aquaintances with all the people they now knew, including Yoshi. And she clearly still didn't like Mila Rose one bit, seeing how her voice had gotten quite the angry tint the longer that sentence had dragged on "And my! While I wouldn't want to be lost in your castle, I'd like it to maybe be stuck in a room with my Dear for a few hours if some random wall would suddenly block the way out~"

Morwena giggled. "I hope I am. My Dear says there still is so much to learn, though, but we do our best. But he uses the book you gave him so much, there is no question that he's doing it right! He's so smart and amazing!" She beamed and then hurried up to catch up with Yoshi. "Indeed, deary, let's go to my Dear!" Excited, Morwena started to lead the way quite quickly. "I'm so happy! My Dear and I have so much work that normally, I only get to see him in the mornings and evenings unless I mess something up and he comes to yell at me! But now that you are here, I can see him now, in the middle of the day, as well!" The thought alone made Morwena almost squeal with delight. "I'm so happy you are heeeeere!" She gave Yoshi her brightest smile while leading the way.

[MillietheWarrior]

“I’ve begun to notice that you humans come up with some amazing things,” Yoshi exclaimed, hugging herself and giggling. “Super glue, foil. It’s all so amazing! I can’t wait to explore the human world even more, especially those markets of super-ness. Who knows what else I’ll find!” Her face lit up at the suggestion Morwena offered of gluing people together. “Do you think…that would work?” she wondered aloud, her gaze shining with mischief. “Because I would be happy to do all that! Oh, Mila Rose would be so aaaaaannnngrrrryyyy if I glued clothes to her!”

And she giggled devilishly, conjuring up mental images of a fuming, furious Mila Rose as she tried to deduce who had done it and how to get even. Of course, they’d enver be able to find Yoshi if she didn’t want to be found; that was what made it all the more fun! “I’m glad you like the items,” Yoshi beamed, her smile sharpening and widening and the pupils in her eyes dilating to thin slits. “I am happy I am heeeeerreeeee toooooo!” she exclaimed, bouncing after Morwena and hugging herself again. “Is Mr. Bentner working on some kind of super secret special potion or something? Or maybe he’s thinking of a new way to use foil!”

[Shieba]

"Yes, those supermarkets are made to stock as many different things as they can so that anyone can find something they like." Morwena wondered what else Yoshi could find in there that might please her - definitely nothing magical, but if the girl could get so obsessed about foil, it was likely that something else which would probably be totally uninteresting to anyone else would catch her attention. "Well, deary, I'm pretty sure that it would work, but it's probably better to not glue skin to skin because separating them again might lead to injuries then. But you could maybe glue people to each other in their sleep who don't like each other very much - I'm sure you can teleport people around, right? And yes, you definitely should glue clothes to Mila Rose. Definitely! Especially if my Dear and I come to visit you guys again!" Not only would that woman look less interesting for her Dear then, Mila Rose had also enjoyed showing her skimpy clothing off and had tried to get Morwena to be jealous so much that Morwena clearly wanted to laugh at her during her next visit.

"We absolutely love the items! I especially enjoy using the pins on my Dear because I'm always so happy when I can help my Dear!" Morwena beamed happily. "Oh no, we aren't all that interested in mixing potions; we are more researchers of items. My Dear is currently trying to duplicate the effect of an old, magical item which was used so much that it won't last much longer. I'm pretty sure he sensed that you are here, though; he just can't just stop the enchanting of the new item once he started." Morwena finally stopped in front of a big door. "Here~" The enchantment chamber was secured with strong spells so that Morwena couldn't even feel her Dear's aura, but she knew he was in there. "We can't disturb him or the spell might fail or even do something dangerous, but he'll probably be done soon and will want to greet you."

Bentner, being on the side of the protection spell that actually allowed the sensing of auras, was now very sure that it was indeed Yoshi who was here and that Morwena was there as well. He sighed and ended the first of the numerous spells he wanted to put on the item in front of him. This day was not progressing like he wanted it to, but he guessed that he should be happy that he had had two months of peace and quiet (well, as quiet as it got with Morwena around) -  and who knew, maybe Yoshi had brought some interesting magical items with her? That, or foil. Actually Bentner guessed it would be foil...

He did take his time to put all fragile items away, just in case Yoshi wanted to burst into this room and inspect everything she maybe didn't know and he also locked all magical items, but then he resigned himself to his fate and opened the heavy doors with magic.

"Deeeeeeeeeeear!" Morwena squealed - well, more like 'screeched', given her horrible voice - and Bentner could already feel a headache forming. He sighed, ignoring the woman and looking at Yoshi. "Miss Yoshi, how nice to see you again. I did wonder if you would visit us soon." He nodded at the girl. "I hope you do like our world and our home." The girl seemed to be empty-handed, which was a bit sad, but then again, who knew what Yoshi even wanted here in the first place?

[MillietheWarrior]

“Well, they are SUPER markets!” the girl exclaimed, looking immensely pleased, despite the fact that she’d already pointed that out before - multiple times. Her hair bounced as merrily as she did as she skipped along beside Morwena; the fact that she was a powerful, time traveling, reality traveling dragon didn’t seem to affect the way she behaved as a human child; she was as dopey and ridiculous as she always was. With her hands behind her back, she gazed up at Morwena with large, curious eyes. “If I glued them skin to skin, they’d get hurt? Super glue isn’t that super, is it? But it might be fun to hear them scream.” There was a devilish glint in her eyes, one that burned red for the briefest of moments, before it was replaced with her wide, childish smile.

“Anyway, the next time you come to visit, I’ll make sure Mila Rose has a whole blanket glued to her! Won’t that be fun?” The idea of causing others pain and discomfort didn’t seem to bother the child, if she could be called a child at all. She’d once been told by her older brother, Ohtori, that pain was painful, even for the most base of creatures. Just because something was sliced in half and didn’t appear phased by it, did not mean that it was not screaming on the inside. Yoshi didn’t quite understand the concept of pain, or the fact that others could really feel it; she delighted in watching them suffer, whether it was for fun or enjoyment. Her types of pain, however, often bordered on the comical and joking, so usually, she didn’t cause anyone that much pain, and they generally just ignored her. As they reached the chamber, Yoshi’s smile widened and sharpened even further.

“Oh my. He could sense me? How fun! No one in Las Noches can sense where I am, not even Halibel-sama! Mister Bentner must be a very incredible magicy-person!” As the doors opened, she joined Morwena in screeching, only her ‘Deeeeeeear!’ was replaced with ‘Miiiiisterrr Beeeeentneeer!’ and she hopped inside, arms wide as though she was going to hug him. However, she stopped just short, twirling instead and giving a little hop. “Hello, Mister Bentner! You are looking much less wrinkly than the last time I saw you! I am pleased to see you!” Her gaze circulated the room curiously, and she couldn’t help but ‘oooo’ and ‘aaaaah’ over a few random books and papers she saw, even if they weren’t all that impressive. “I do looooooveeee your home! It’s so much fuuuun! And guess what? I’ve brought you stuff and thiiiinnggsss! Like pretty pictures, and some foil! But I also brought you a special item, just for you!”

[Shieba]

"Well, it all depends on the glue and how super it is, deary. Some kinds of it are so strong that if you glue two people together and they try to get apart, one will end with ripped skin. Which is why it's better to glue them together at their clothes - unless you want them to get hurt. Then it might be a fun way to torture people", Morwena mused. She had tortured people before, though not like that - glue really wasn't effective enough in her eyes; torture was fine, but her Dear liked results and disliked messes, so Morwena tended to be efficient there as well. Yoshi's behavior, however, was really a bit unsettling even to her - it was pretty clear that underneath that childish behavior was a rather cruel being, though it also didn't seem like Yoshi was just using her little form as an act. She was far too focused on foil and stick figures for that. For all Morwena knew, maybe Yoshi was bipolar or something, but then again, Yoshi wasn't human to begin with. Maybe all dragons from Hueco Mundo were like that? But as long as the girl was nice to her and her Dear, Morwena was fine with Yoshi being odd - especially if it instead involved Mila Rose suffering. "Oh yes, deary, Mila Rose with a whole carpet would be absolutely amazing! I think you should not only glue it to her, but also draw that sight lots and lots of times then and hang the pictures up around your whole palace so that she gets reminded of it all the time." After all, she doubted that Mila Rose would dare to destroy such pictures.

Morwena was then very proud when she heard that others couldn't sense Yoshi. "Well, my Dear has a magical field around this fortress and both he and I felt you entering it", she quickly managed to explain before Bentner stepped out of the room, "but of course, my Dear is also the greatest mage of the kingdom!"

Bentner had really a hard time not to wince; he was used to Morwena's voice by now and his hearing wasn't as good as it had once been (probably because of Morwena's voice), but Yoshi joining in was rather overwhelming. Still, he resisted the urge to step back and close the door again not only to block out the noise but also because the idea of getting hugged by Yoshi was rather scary, given that she was actually a giant dragon and could probably crush things without meaning to. Luckily, the girl stopped in time and instead opted to talk to him, though her conversation skills hadn't really improved since the last time he had seen her. "...Thank you. It is indeed nice to meet you again", he said and threw Morwena a sharp look when she, of course, was at the verge of immediately protesting that her Dear wasn't wrinkly at all and had never been. "I am glad you enjoy my fortress. Has Morwena shown you around a bit already?" Bentner really disliked smalltalk, but knew when it was needed. For now, he wanted to steer Yoshi away from the enchantment chamber and into rooms with less magical objects, not really because he feared that she would break them - she collected enough of her own, after all - but more because he feared that she might want to get some 'donations'. However, her last words immediately got his attention. "Well, now I'm very interested", he admitted, fully aware that he would probably have to suffer through paintings and foil, but whatever that special items was had the potential to be really interesting (or being another box of foil, maybe).
