Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hopefully he would, I need to talk to Nailah anyway. I have not seen her in a little while. Thank you anyway." She poked at the ground with a claw and then looked up again trying to change the subject. Walking to the Great hall she motioned for them to follow. "So, Aura, why were you like that anyway, if you do not mind me asking."

Bastet watched her friend and did some quick thinking, "A bit cruel yes, but you can slip back out of it. And you should know that your friends are here and actually make you stronger instead of just give you more beings to think and worry over. Think of them as an advantage, and do not let memories you can not change haunt you." She laughed somewhat bitterly, "And the hardest advice to take is always your own." Sitting down in a chair she pulled out her flask and took one swig from it, replacing the cap afterwards.

Bastet looked up and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Yes, it is a viscious circle, and you have turned the questions back to me. But do not worry this circle will come back to you." Sighing, she chewed on one claw and looked away. "Um, yes, well....they still haunt me to a certain extent, but going into the woods stirred up the memories even worse, that is why Nailah passed out, and Khenu, and nevermind." She gave up on her explaination opting to study the wall instead.

"I will tell you my bad memories if you tell me yours."

Bastet raised one eyebrow, "Yes that is quite bad, and could make someone bitter, especially with old spirits popping up. But how did you let him get the best of you anyway? And I am sure he was straightened out later." She scowled some, let that spirit get anywhere near her.... she would find some wya to kill him again.

She nodded, "So it was a he had been harboring those feelings and finally expressed them type of thing." She continued to nod until she looked slightly alarmed, "Oh no, this is an exchange information piece by piece isn't it?" Sighing and rubbing her temples she thought a moment. She paused before she started, "You already knew that the amulet I had found had stirred memories about Manu and Rashidi. Well, when I confronted Manu in the woods, I found out the extent to which he had played a hand in my fate. The bumbling idiot I knew had given me to the Romans and told them my secret so they could torture me endlessly. They thought it was fun once they knew I could heal, so they whipped and beat and cut. He even gave the romans new torture ideas while Rashidi slipped into a fragile state of mind. A different pupeteer was pulling the strings. I should have made sure he was dead the first time." She toyed with her sai some at the thoughts.

Bastet waited a moment leaving Aura to her thoughts while contemplating her own. She hoped that this would be good for the both of them, so they would not lash out anymore, or even have the urge to. Everyone here seemed to have memories they wished to bury deep, even though that seems impossible now. Looking out a window, she saw the sun shine in brightly, hopefully meaning something good.

She looked to Aura, "So what about before that? In Egypt I mean. What made you a b***h then?"

"That would be an interesting read to be sure, but that is your private matter. Besides, now you have Vincent and I have seen you two play around. He did not see you in your most recent evil state did he? Your family was stupid not care about you." Not concerned about her own bluntness because it was better not to dance around a topic, especially when Aura has made the effort to change herself.

"And Manu is dead this time for sure. If he found a way to survive, then he is not of this world."
