She looked at Kelsier for a second, and then looked back at Drae. Should I tell him that he is right here... No. He'd just freak out. She started laughing again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's trying to fight today's weirdeness with laughter.

I am not laughing at you." She said it as she was able to start to stop laughing. "It is kind of ridiculous, but... Well... Today has just been one of those really weird days. I'm honestly just glad that I'm not the only one who is having trouble processing life." She looked at Drae. "Besides, today I have passed out, went into shock, and had a nervous breakdown. I wouldn't mock you for having problems like that. It would make me a hypocrite." She said that very seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of someone praying TO him that people would stop talking ABOUT him was... amusing to say the least. Eryn shook her head. “Not ghost anymore,” she noted. “Has body now.

One of them was 'he died and and been replaced by a cognitive shadow, Adilie had never liked that theory because 'most of the population are worshipping a piece of power believing to be Kelsier' was too dark of a joke, even for her. And of course it was the true one. "So... you're actually a spren? Of Ruin or Preservation?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote That’s an in-world theory among Cosmere scholars... but how would Adilie know of it? “No,” Kelsier said simply. “I’m myself. My soul was tethered by the Well of Ascension, then altered when I held Preservation so I can persist for as long as I choose.” He smirked. “Though there are other theories, which I don’t ascribe to. Unlike some I actually remember the process.” His eye narrowed and his smile grew dangerous again. “But care to explain how you came to know of those theories - or of Spren? We don’t exactly have those on Scadrial.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had expected the Survivor to have recognized her origins immediately -small people with relatively dark skins effectively didn't exist on Scadrial. But no he had not he was interested in her, which could be good or bad, but was anyway terrifying. "My grandparent were... immigrants of some sort, and my grandmother loved talking about ghosts" That and they had taken her to their birth world when she was ten to see if she had the gift of their people -she had not, and if you didn't meet any spren during that travel you were doing something wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Actually, Scadrians come in all sizes and colors. There aren’t races in a traditional sense and everyone is kind of mixed. Makes it an easy place to hide worldhopping origins. “Threnodite?” He asked thoughtfully. “Or Rosharan? Though you’re short for the latter.
