Log:Who Needs a Body When You Have Soul

Atop the rocky cliff near the end of the bridge stands the tiny "fairy tale" castle that serves as the Undermoon embassy. It's no larger than a large house, and its great front gate (with drawbridge to cross a decorative moat) is only the size of a normal door. Its slender towers are topped with graceful spires from which fly pennants of many colours and designs, but chiefly of purple and silver. Over the main gate hangs a rectangular flag of the same colour.

That's the outside. As soon as one passes through the gate it's another story - the castle is vast, the walls tall, the spires tower above the courtyard! Various buildings of the same graceful architectural style are found among the gardens of exotic flora, and the place is busy with staff, both human and fae.

Ghost has remembered the way but lets Phantom lead her just in case her memories aren't entirely accurate and complete. As she goes with him she slowly fades from sight.

Harlequin enters from Sandy Bottoms Island.

Ghost's physical body is in a magical sleep in one of the rooms in the Princess Guard's building in the Embassy.

Phantom texted Titan as they headed to Undermoon. <> Ghost knows the way to Undermoon better than he does, but Phantom at least remembers where her body is currently being held. He slows as they reach the gates to Undermoon, a little nervous about the guards.

The Embassy guards check to confirm Phantom has access and find he does. "Welcome to the Embassy. Ableman Guard Lelious will guide you to the building of the Princess' Guard." one of the gate guards tells Phantom.

Titan is already at the Embassy. He's been spending a lot of time there in recent weeks, after Ghost appeared to him once...and then didn't reappaar. He texts back to Phantom, << I'll meet you there. >> He gets somethign to drink...and then makes his way back to the room where Ghost's physical body is. He's...trying to keep his expectations under control. Maybe this will work? Maybe?

Another of the gatew guards used one of the human's radio communicator to inform Embassy security. Who in turn inform Princess Linandere and Charm.

"Right. Able...guard...Leli...I'll follow whoever," Phantom gives up and follows along as he's led to the Princess' Guard building.

Meleryniel hurries from her chambers to the Princesses' Guard headquarters on hearing the news. She too has spent time at Ghost's side.

Following silently, Aaliyah is here to try to facilitate, and to communicate when the need arises. She doesn't speak at first, except to identify herself to the guards... but otherwise remains in the background. She's not the star of this eposide after all. At best, she's a guest star.

Harlequin steps out of one of the workrooms in the Princess Guard building, checking to make certain his mask is settled properly. He looks around as some of the servants bustle about and inquires of one, "Why is everyone rushing about?" in his archaic Fae.

"It's the Captain, milord Harlequin! Something to with Captain Ghost!" murmurs the Fae maid as she continues with on with her duties.

Harlequin tilts his head in thanks and heads towards where he's heard Ghost's insensate and soulless body is kept. For personal reasons, this interests him.

The group of Phanton, Aaliyah, and Ghost's now invisible and intangible spirit have reached the building and entered. They can see Harlequin in the common room, Charm entering from another door, and Titan's back as he stands in the doorway of the room Ghost's body is in.

Meleryniel hurries to Ghost's side. "What news?" she asks Titan.

Titan says to Meleryniel, "Ghost's spirit has recovered her memories. Phantom is leading her here now, last I heard."

As Meeryniel tries to go to Ghost's side, unbelievably, the two guards facing Titan at the door move to intercept and block her progress.

Phantom steps in, trying to get acclimated to this new place. He doesn't recognize anyone at first, but soon senses Titan's familiar mind and starts heading that way. The strange thing is he doesn't sense Harlequin's mind at all. It's not until others lay eyes on him that he suddenly notices he's there with a bit of a start.

Meleryniel

The the otherworldly breathtaking beauty of this young fae woman defies description. She stands 5'9" tall, and is slender by human standards, though not by those of the fae. Her complexion is very fair, her eyes as green as emerald, and her long hair, shining like strands of gold, is woven into a complex, ornate style. She moves with a fluid grace and a regal bearing.

When her activities do not demand otherwise, she favours long, flowing dresses of the finest cloth. Whatever she wears, even if in Earth fashion, it will be of extraordinary quality and beauty, designed and made by the best of fae artisans.

Titan raises a brow and says to the guards, "Please stand aside."

Harlequin turns his gaze turns to the ones entering the building. His gaze turns from one to the other in turn as his senses take them each in. The masked figure stops for a moment on the spirit of Ghost.

Following Phantom, Aaliyah remains quiet still. Unless spoken to, she is merely -present-. She is respectfully patient and waiting her turn to speak up as she is the interloper here. Merely here to try to offer aid as best she can.

Meleryniel says to the guards, "What is this? Step aside!"

One of the guards blocking Meleryiel's progress says in a slight Greyfalls accent, "A moment please. The woman's face is being cleaned." The guard rudly does not acknowledge Meleryiel's rank.

Harlequin looks over at the guards and Meleryniel at the guard's words. He shakes his head slightly and takes a half step back. In a mere moment, he fades into into a silvery-blue silhouette before disappearing to reappear elsewhere.

Meleryniel fixes the guard with a glare, "Do you not know who I am? I am Meleryniel, daughter of Stephanie, daughter of Meryniel, daughter of Zoramin, Princess of the Third of UNdermoon!" She wanders where they got this guard from. Surely he should have been able to tell from clothes alone she was at the very least noble!

Phantom rubs the back of his head and frowns, wondering what sort of snoot scuffle he got himself into.

As the guard's eyes look into Titan's for a moment, unable to be hidden entirely, Titan seens distain and hatred in them. Then the other guard near the door cannot restrain himself any longer, "No polluted blood is a legitimate Princess of the Fae."

Titan gets in teh face of the guard who spoke up. "You will stand aside, or I will move you aside. You have a choice. Make the correct one. You have three seconds."

From inside Ghost's chamber, you hear a man shout (those who know him recognize Harlequins' voice). "They're killing the Captain! Help!" followd by the sound of a boom as something goes off behind the closed door.

A voice speaks quietly but urgently to Phantom and Aaliyah, "Something is very wrong. Be on your guard."

Phantom starts to run towards the call for help to check what's going on and who needs to be stopped.

The doorway is blocked by Princess Meleryiel, Titan, and two fae dressed in guard uniforms trying to stop Meleryiel and Titan from entering. Past the logjam in the door there's a thrid guard leaning over Ghost's body. What he is doing is hidden from the view at the door.

"You heard the man. Move out of the way!" Phantom orders the two guards forcefully.

Meleryniel thinks, "Incredible. When Mother has been doing such work improving attitudes in Undermoon, here is a radical conservative in the Embassy!" Then comes the call for help, and she realises the guards are probably not actually attached to the embassy. Then she spots the third guard leaning over Ghost's body! She sings that guard song of hopelessness and depression, to make him despair of whatever foul deed he may be about.

The fae dressed as guards in the doorway draw their swords. One lunges at Charm. The other at Titan. Inside the room, dispairing of escaping and already unable to pass Ghost's death off as natural causes, the forsaken pulls a gray dagger from a sheath. He hurriedly stabs Ghost's body, hitting her shoulder rather than a more letal location in his haste, and then stabs himself in the heart.

The good news is it hasn't got to the point where the iron weapons come out. Even so, a finely crafted dae sword is a letal and deadly weapon.

Meleryniel doesn't dodge the blow completely, but does so enough that the blade slides off her dress!

Titan must have been caught slightly off guard. He's stabbed and he loses his footing, toppling to the floor.

Hearing the words spoken... or rather yelled, Aaliyah's hands are already moving through a series of gestures as she calls upon the power of Anubis to bless her. She starts to stride forward even as she fades into spirit form... not trying to pass through the walls so much as the people blocking the entrance... her plan is to just... slide through them all and get inside where she might be able to be of aid to someone.

Hearing the words spoken... or rather yelled, Aaliyah's hands are already moving through a series of gestures as she calls upon the power of Anubis to bless her. She starts to stride forward even as she vanishes into a golden eye in the air... appearing out of the same sigil in the room.

Her hands still flow, and her words still come forth and spirits fade into sight... flowing from around her.. from the corners of the room. Spirits that are more like puppies than ghosts. These are spirits created by Anubis specifically for this purpose. But they flow over to Ghost's body.. encircling it and entrapping it behind their translucent form.

To any with astral or spirit sight, as Ghsot's spirit neared her body a thin tenuous golden cord started to form between body and spirit. When the forsaken assassin's evilly poisoned dagger pierces her body's shoulder Ghost's spirit cries out in pain and crumples to the floor.

Titan rolls to his feet...and goes to charge into the room, shoving a guard aside if need be.

Meleryniel cries out "NO!" as she sees Ghost die(?) yet again.

When Titan gets to the now protected body of Ghost he can see the wound. It's deep but not in a vital location. More comcerning is the vilely glowing green stain around and in the wound.

Titan slams the guard into the wall as he moves past to check on Ghost's status. "Damn it...poison?"

Harlequin's surprised by this attempt on Captain Ghost's life and the speed with which matters have changed. He lungee over at the fallen guard, takes the dagger from his chest then throws it aside with a curse that scuttles away on its own many legs. "Lower the spell so I can change Ghost! We need the time!"

As Titan gets there, Aaliyah lowers her hands, and the spirits dissipate. No sense in keeping first aid from the wound. "I believe any poison is linked to the spirit form also. Her spirit is in pain... and I do not know if I can do anything about that."

The fae are about to spring back into the attack when the guard that Titan knocked over sees the deceased Forsaken. He calls out, "Wait! Wait. What is that? Have we been tricked?" The two 'guards' pause.

Phantom tries to run past and close to Ghost's body when he senses her spirit's distress. "Oh no...Ghost!" he says, but not to her body. His attention is to where her spirit is. He can't help her here on the material plane anyway. Time is of the essence, so he doesn't spare the time to prop himself or pay attention to his body as his mind travels to the astral plane. Phantom's physical body drops to its knees, then falls forward to sprawl on the ground. Phantom's astral self tries to support Ghost's spirit. "What can I do?" he asks in a panic.

Meleryniel says angrily, "Tricked? You maintain you had not idea of this dishonourable assassination?!"

One of the guards answers Charm, although the answer is hardly a justification. "We were told the half breed was plotting againt our Duke."

Meleryniel says, "It seems that you are the conspirators here! And even were there a plot - you would attack the warmaster while she lies asleep, helpless? Have you no shred of honour? And yet you would say *I* am not fae!"

On the astral the golden cord is obvious. Only it's not a golden cord now. From the body end it's turning a vile rotting slimy green, the change moving slowly along the cord toward Ghost's spirit.

The guard tells Meleryiel, "Warmaster!? She's a mongrel. She doesn't deserve honorable consideration."

Ghost reachs out toward Phantom. "Break the cord," she manages to whisper.

Not familiar with the fae, Aaliyah speaks up, "The gods care not where your blood comes from. Merely what you do with it. An accident of birth makes zero difference in the grand scheme of things. Killing people over it is what brought the worst parts of the world to the worst times in history."

Phantom gasps. "Now? But...you'll never get back to your body," he says, though that may not matter if her spirit is poisoned or killed. He places his hand beneath the cord where it's still golden and lifts it in his palm.

And yet, Aaliyah moves to support Phantom's boy, defending it even as she observes the spirit interactions. Then she adds, "Does anyone wish for me to attempt to summon the recently suicided assassin's spirit for interrogation?"

Titan looks at the guard, "I haven't killed anyone. Yet. The day isn't over. I suggest you watch your tongue."

Titan nods to Aaliyah, "Please. I want to know who sent them."

Meleryniel says, "Much less do you! Creatures without a drop of fae blood have more honour than you. And your shame is the greater because, being fae, you should be better!" Her voice takes on an accusing tone, and she moves her arms in an almost hypnotic dance.

A ghostly apparition of Phantom appears on the material plane, kneeling close to his body. "Titan, the poison's killing her spirit. If you don't give her some sort of antidote, I'll have to break the cord connecting her to her body to save her. But ...but she might never be able to go back," his astral projection warns.

Titan thinks about it. "An assassin wouldn't work without carrying an antidote to their own poison. Just in case. Right?" He goes about starting to seach the assassin's body and clothing.

The masked mage moves past the others to stand next to Captain Ghost. "Don't touch that dagger! And back away from Ghost! I need to halt the poison!"

Without waiting he begins to speak Words. Or so it seems. The words while strong and clear slip from your minds in the instant they are spoken

He continues to speak for several minutes as a shimmering forms around Ghost's body. He continues to speak even as blood starts to flow from beneath and out of the eyes of his mask. He speaks until his voice grows hoarse from the Words. He continues to speak until Captain Ghost is encased in what seems to be perfect clear isohedron that shimmers from time to time in no apparent pattern.

On the astral, Harlequin putting Ghost's body into stasis stops the progression of the corruption of the cord. By by the time Harlequin finishes the corruption is far advanced ans Ghost's spirit is squirming in constant unrelenting pain.

The heads of the fake guards droop as they feel shame for their failing to live up to the standards fae should hold to.

Nodding her head, Aaliyah looks to Titan and then to the body of the assassin. She steps over and reaches a finger down to touch the man's forehead. She incants some words of power in an oddball ancient Egyptian dialect before she lifts her finger and points it off to one side... her voice growing bolder and stronger, rising as she works to summon the spirit of the fallen. Hoping that the poison didn't destroy the spirit as well as the body.

Phantom tries to support Ghost's spirit to give her some comfort. There's not much he can do, but perhaps...he can coax her mind into thinking she feels no pain.

And after all of that, Aaliyah smirks. "Ah. There you are." she says to the spirit. "Phantom, take heed of this one's presence. I can ask any questions you wish." she says to Titan then. "Who hired you to attempt your failed assassination?" She asks the spirit.

Meleryniel speaks in a softer tone. "Were you ordered to do this by your lord? For then you acted out of loyalty and your guilt is the less. Or did you take this step of your own accord?"

The assassin's spirit reponds proudly, "I was not hired. I volunteered."

"You volunteered to fail. Did you do this on your own? Or did you volunteer to -serve- another in your actions?" asks Aaliyah. "And what poison did you use? You will tell me what the antidote is, or I will insure that Anubis judges you personally."

The guards say that they were ordered to do this by the leader of the Duke's guards. And point to the dead forsaken.

The assassin's spirit boasts, "I serve the one who will restore our kind to power. Warleader Palanir, the saviour of our kind." Then it looks at Ghost, "There is no antidote."

Harlequin continues to speak the Words as the crystal stops shimmering and stills. He then leans over for a moment before sinking to his knees next to the bed. His breathe comes in harsh gasps as he fumbles with his now slick mask.

Titan says to Aaliyah, "Ask where we can find Palanir. Please."

"Ah, you are not -aware- of an antidote. Thank you for the information." says Aaliyah. And she turns to Titan, "Apparently the Warleader Palanir is purported to be the... savior, of their kind. You did hear the fingerquotes there, yes?" she asks. "And now, is there some way that I can aid your magicks?" she asks as she stands and approaches Harlequin.

The psionic projection of Phantom watches Harlequin and the others. "The poison stopped moving to her spirit, but she's in a lot of pain," he says worriedly to Titan.

"Ah, you are not -aware- of an antidote. Thank you for the information." says Aaliyah. And she turns to Titan, "Apparently the Warleader Palanir is purported to be the... savior, of their kind. You did hear the fingerquotes there, yes?" she asks. "You heard the man. Where can we find this savior that we may heap honors upon him?" she asks.

And then she notices Harlequin's collapse, and moves to help him. The spirit is there already. She can speak to it while supporting the other mage.

Meleryniel says, "Who was not what he seemed. Your 'leader' serves the greatest traitor of Undermoon.' She forces a slight smile. "But if you speak true, you will be forgiven, for you were used.""

The assassin's spirit says defiantly, "I am dead. I have no need of lies."

Meleryniel does not in her heart forgive these men. But she knows there is more to be gained from a show of forgiveness: it strengthen the appearance of honour amomg the 'half-breeds' and it can doubtless be used as political leverage against the conservative duke, by questioning his security measures...

The assassin says, "I cannot tell you where the Savior is. He moves constantly from safe place to safe place."

Titan grimaces, "So, why did Palanir order this attack?"

Harlequin takes off his mask to reveal his face is coated in blood which flows from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. And, in fact, is continuing to flow. "Did anyone else see the bus that hit me?" he croaks. "Need an autodoc. Or healer. I think I overdid it..."

Phantom's projection, visible to everyone on the material plane, looks surprised at Harlequin as he takes off his mask. He almost says something to give himself away, stammering, "It's, It's....ah...helping stop the poison for now."

The assasin shrugs, "I did not ask. But the Savior said to my Queen it was for taking his wife and step-daughter from him."

Titan pauses, "Who is your queen?"

The assassin answers Titan. (I will when I write up the forsaken nation/tribe.)

Harlequin croaks out, "Break the corrupted cord...Free Ghost..." as he shuddders. Fortunately, Aaliyah starts to perform basic first aid and calls for healers.

Meleryniel presses her advantage and keeps talking to the two in her most aristocratic tone, much as she'd rather be helping Ghost by whatever means. "You will testify to all that happened before the king's court. Only so can your show that your duke is blameless in this." And more to the point, that way the matter will become public knowledge, hopefully raising sentiment against the extremists.

The guards nods. "Yes... your highness." The latter is choked out largely by shame. But it is said.

Meleryniel strides out of the building, realising Harlequin's condition. "Let the healers attend - NOW!" she shouts at the nearest messenger.

The messenger takes off at a flat run to the healers guild rooms. Soon after healers hurry into the Princess Guard's rooms and begind healing Harlequin.

Out of energy to project into the material realm, Phantom's psionic projection looks to Harlequin's at his warning and begins to fade out of existence.

Meleryniel, once sure Harlequin is being cared for, calls for (real) guards to take the two false one into custody. "Use them well: they were deceived, and believed they acted on their lord's command."

Alone with Ghost in the astral plane, Phantom looks to Ghost and the corruption of the cord. He's managed to use his mental influence to reduce the agony she was in, but he can't keep it up forever, and neither could Harlequin from the looks of it. Both Ghost and Harlequin told him to break the cord. He grabs the little portion of healthy cord left with both hands, steadying his mind. "I'm...I'm sorry," he says with regret, then snaps the cord.

Ghost convulses when the cord is snapped. Then slumps briefly. But after a moment or two she tries to stand, reaching out toward Phantom's astral form, "Can you give me a little help here?" she asks in a surprisingly steady voice considering what's just happened.

Phantom reaches out to help Ghost to her feet, supporting her so they can rise together. "I've got you."

Ghost nods, "So you have. Thank you. This will not be forgotten Phantom." She smiles and squeezes Phantom's hand. Then steps across the divide and manifersts on the material. "Johnathan..?" she says, reaching for him.

Meleryniel exclaims, with (modified) delight, "You're - still with us!"

Harlequin yays softly as the healers work on him. at the re-appearance of Ghost. They shush him as they talk about overreaching and mana burn and blood magicks and other such things.

Titan hears Ghost's voice and turns to face her. He looks...both relieved...and concerned. "Ghost? What...just happened? They can gat you reconnected with your body, right?"

With Ghost crossed over, Phantom takes a moment to rest on the astral and gather his energy before returning to his body. A moment later, now back in his body, Phantom's eyes open slowly and he gets his bearings. At first, he can't see anything. But soon his clairvoyant senses adjust and give him impressions of his surroundings. He pushes himself up slowly and stands, rubbing his forehead. He must've bonked it when he fell, but it's minor.

Ghost runs a couple of steps and goes to hug Johnathan. Only to pass thorught his body. She stops. Turns. "Let's try that again." she says, a hint of worry in her face. Raching out again she goes to hug, and this time she feels real and solid as her arms enfold Titan.

Titan gives her a hug, though he still looks unsure about what the current situation is. "Someone...tell me."

Meleryniel can see more than Titan, but was about to ask the same.

Ghost looks at her body. "Has my chin always been that shape?" is the first thing she says. Then, "Not at the moment I would judge. Forsaken poison? I recall Harlequin warning about it. Thank you, Harlequin, by the way. Because of you there's still a chance."

Meleryniel says, "A chance?"

Still holding Johnathan's hand if he allows Ghost turns to Meleryiel and drops to one knee, "I am relieved to see you well, Proncess."

Phantom swallows and looks to Harlequin, then Titan. "I...I had to do it. I broke the cord connecting Jillian to her body," he says unhappily.

Harlequin murmurs from inside the circle of healers over their objections. "It is called darestim. The poison. A Forsaken used it in an attempt on my life a few years ago which Amelia stopped by diving in the way of the thrown blade.

Ghost says, "At my request." Ghost quickly says."

Titan blinks as Phantom mentions breaking the cord. "I have...no idea what that means."

The mage takes in another breath then continues. "Fortunately, a..goddess was present to put Amelia into stasis. She told me the only cure was to obtain Isis's Star, have the goddess bless it and then pour the water from the star into Amelia's mouth." He sighs. "The Star disappeared afterwards. I have never sought it as Isis told me I could never seek it again. As far as I know, that is the only cure for darestim: water blessed by Isis held in Isis' Star."

Meleryniel says, "Rise, Warmaster. Come let me embrace you - if you are solid to the touch?"

Phantom shifts uncomfortably as he explains to Titan, "I think it means...she can't return to her body."

Ghost stands and goes to Charm, "I seem to be solid if I concentrate on being so, Princess."

Titan's shoulders slump as Phantom speaks. He bites his lip, "Harlequin...does it have to be Isis specifically? Or would any divine blood do?"

Meleryniel hugs Ghost, tightly, and her face fails to hide her joy at having her back.

Ghost hugs Meleryiel back almost as tightly. Then looks at her, "Warleader?" she asks interestedly. Noting the absense of the Asept qualifier.

Harlequin murmurs, "Oh, any old blood will do, but it has to be held in Isis' Star...as I said, my..a goddess was present when Amelia was poisoned. But, any divinity."

Phantom pays attention to Harlequin, though his eyes and facing is towards Titan and Ghost.

Meleryniel smiles. "Mistress Warleader, to be precise. You were promoted for your demise in service."

Harlequin murmurs something that sounds like 'Make certain you get a pay raise..." but it hard to rell.

Ghost smiles, "If I die again do I get another promotion?" she askes jokingly. "Princess, may I present Phantom?" She gestures to Phantom, "He was of great assistanbce to me while I was lost and finding myself."

Titan nods to Harlequin, "But...that would cure the poison. But...it's too late for that, right? Because this...cord was broken?"

Phantom thinks he's in trouble briefly when he hears his name, his head perking up. "Uh. Hi there," he says, raising his hand in a single wave.

Meleryniel smiles at Phantom. "You have done a great service, in returning our loyal retainer to us!"

"Yeah, sure. No problem," Phantom replies uncomfortably as a teen would in such a situation.

Ghost goes back to Johnathan and takes his hand again. Her hand feels warm and alive. "The cord was broken in the lava, Johnathan. It reformed when I came here. If my body is returned to health the cord may reform yet again. I do not know for sure but as I said, there is a chance."

Titan nods to Ghost. He...looks sad, but he's managing to maintain control. He holds her hand. "I'll do what I can. Maybe...we can find this star and actually cure it."

Harlequin murmurs gently as the healers finish. They've stopped the bleeding, but he

Phantom feels guilty briefly, but realizes it was the assassin's fault this happened. He looks to Harlequin. "Maybe we should give them some time alone?"

Harlequin sits up slowly and leans against the bed. They've stopped the bleeding, but he looking paler than normal. He waves them off promising to get rest. Instead, he says, "Yes, you can seek Isis' Star. Aaliyah would be of great aid to you there. How to obtain the blood of a god is trickier, but within your grasps as well." He hesitates for a moment the adds, "I cannot join you. There are...limits on what aid I can provide. My magicks have a cost at times. This is one of them."

He then holds out a hand to Phantom. "If you could help me?"

"Who, me? I don't know any magic," Phantom explains, though he goes along with it and offers Harlequin his hand.

Titan says to Harlequin, "Would my blood count? I'm related to the Titans of old. Or is it likely too many generations down the tree to count?"

Ghost continues to hold Jahnathan's hand as she turns to Meleryiel, "May we have your leave to depart in a few moments, Highness? We have some catching up to do."

Harlequin murmurs to Phantom on the way out, "Oh, and just so you know, you never saw my face. If you see me on the street and call me Harlequin, I'll turn you into...something. Probably a dog or cat. Maybe a turtle. Just be warned." His tone is not, however, serious.

Phantom nods faintly at the threats. "I didn't see a thing," he says in total seriousness, despite it being tongue in cheek in his head.

Harlequin gives you directions to his room here. "It's a nice home away from home...And gives me someplace to wipe off the blood." He turns ot look at you, his expression more serious. "Thank you, Phantom. I apprecaite your help. And your aid to Captain Ghost."

His color is better but he still seems drained. "If I'm not around and anyone asks you, Ghost is...call it a stasis field. She is outside of time and unless the spell is broken or I end the enchantment, will be until the stars go out and Universe grows dim. So, she quite safe, but still make sure she's guarded, yes?" There is no real trace of Russian in his accent now. Just a European accented RP accent.
