*Removing the tiny fragments from the mess of dolls, Guinne tips them into her pouch with a wry smile.
 	
*Guinne: Well, time to put an end to this sorry business...
 	
*Guinne: There should be enough in here to fashion a rudimentary containment vessel.
 	
*Renatus: What else do you need?
 	
*Guinne: Space for the ritual. It's a simple spell, really—merely transmutation.
*Guinne: Here, this room should suffice...

*Guinne lays out the fragments in a loose circle, and begins casting her spell.
*The jewel fragments glow faintly in the dim light, their forms drawing closer to each other.
*After a few moments, a blood-red gem the shape and size of an egg lies glowing in the center of the ritual circle.
 	
*Renatus: Hey, doesn't that look familiar?
 	
*Renatus: It's a little bit like the eye-socket jewels in the Tome of Desire...
*Renatus: The ones that trapped souls.
 	
*Nimrah: Come to think of it...
 	
*Nimrah: ...If you don't mind, I have a question for you, Guinne.
 	
*Guinne: Yes?
 	
*Nimrah: What do you know about servitors?
 	
*Guinne: Umm... They're greater spirits, no? 
*Guinne: They're much more powerful than lesser spirits, like those inhabiting the weavedolls, or regular familiars.
*Guinne: That's what I was able to glean from the manuscripts, anyway.
 	
*Guinne: It gets a little hazy with the vessel part. But everything went okay, I think.
*Guinne: What I don't get is why Nabris is deliberately misbehaving, even though he's bonded to me!
*Guinne: Maybe something went awry somewhere.

*Nimrah: Hmm...
*Nimrah: I think there is something very important left untold.
*Nimrah: Nabris and I, we are spirits of desire.
*Nimrah: We feed on our masters' subconscious thoughts, and are highly attuned to their emotions.
*Nimrah: It's not out of the question that he's developed rather...human sentiments, on account of being bound to you.
*Nimrah: We can sense these things, you know. Your desires. Your interests...
 	
*Nimrah: And, generally, we want to know more.
 	
*Guinne: ...What?
*Guinne: That would explain the weird conversations...

*Nabris: Mistress.
 	
*Guinne: Umm... Yes?
 	
*Nabris: Is red your favorite color?
 	
*Guinne: Yeah. It's vibrant and lively.
*Guinne: Why?
 	
*Nabris: I see.
*Nabris: It rather suits you, Mistress.
*Nabris: Your personality. Your looks.
 	
*Nabris: I know of few others who could carry such a shade of red so well.
 	
*Guinne: T-Thank you?
*Guinne: I don't know what to say.
*Guinne: Wait, why are you telling me this?
 	
*Nabris: ... ...
*Nabris: Pardon me, but I do not think a compliment warrants a reason.
 	
*Nabris: Is that not what humans do?
 	
*Guinne: I suppose so, but still...
*Guinne: (I've never been complimented like this...)
 	
*Renatus: Wait a minute. What about your former master?
 	
*Nimrah: Oh, nothing so...*suggestive*, seeker. Don't look so flustered.
*Nimrah: There were rumors, of course. And I played my part perfectly.
*Nimrah: But Master's desire was the nature of Desire itself. I assumed a form most conducive to his observations on his 'guests'...
 	
*Nimrah: ...Yourself included.
 	
*Nimrah: Not half the same as whatever Guinne had in mind regarding my brother, though.
 	
*Guinne: ...!
 	
*Nimrah laughs coyly as Guinne scrambles to hide her reddening face.
 	
*Nimrah: That being said...
*Nimrah: All I ask is that whatever you choose to do with the gem, and the ritual...
*Nimrah: You consider it carefully, and make your peace.
 	
*Guinne: You're not going to stop me from possibly hurting your brother?
 	
*Nimrah: I trust you wouldn't.
 	
*Nimrah: ...Well, I'm sure he'll survive anything you happen to throw at him.
*Nimrah: Still, do be nice. You seem like a nice girl.
 	
*Guinne: ... ...
