[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]
[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]
YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.
BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

I guess you can kinda consider her my Pokemon partner, if that Pokemon was... made of magic?
no subject
Meaning you created her?

[ And now he has a bird daughter who is just as much of a shit as he is. Though she seems to understand that Cyllene is the one person We Don't Mess With so she sort of eases herself along Alec's shoulder to get closer with some measure of respect. ]
no subject
[ She gazes back at the bird, though it doesn't look like she's going to have to kick her ass, so she won't glare at it warningly. I mean she won't try to pet the bird either but. Baby steps. ]
I presume she serves a purpose, then?
no subject
[ Helpful, Alec.
The crow is still looking at Cyllene. Appraising with a sort of intelligence far beyond what her shape would suggest. ]
no subject
[ ... to the crow, of course. ]
no subject
[ Pet herrrrr ]

[ holds out her hand without so much as a change of expression. ]
