Questions! Questions! And more...

"My Queen, arrre you well?" the ebony gryphoness—a female named incongruously Astra Thessamer-- queries, concerned over how utterly lost the White Witch has been of recent; a condition I fear I have something of a clue as to the cause.

"Please . . .we all opted to forgo titles at least for the duration of this meeting," Sidaj demurred softly. "Titles and egos right now could only get in the way for what obviously is shaping up to be something of an awkward situation for all parties here. Both emotionally and diplomatically."

Oh, I just HAVE to wonder about some of the background about what happened between female gryphon and the queen here. Some kind of bond, I see but . . .

No, that’s for later.

"Simply put after centuries of expectation . . .of out and out prayer I’ve gotten just about everything I could possibly want in my struggle against the ‘Cowardly Lion’--Aslan’s twisted mirror—is now done. Nalsa died not by my hands but he is gone…"

And it was done in a way much more bloody and violent than we’ve ever seen or heard of from the tales would tell us. That and this Nalsa went out like a whimpering, sniveling coward. A wretch that apparently from what Tabitha tells me been a pale imitation of Aslan and a person that Aslan had grave issues about that.

Sidaj had no problems with her rival’s death . . .at least not as much a problem over something else that Tabitha did while witnessing it, or rather the lack of reaction to it. I and my sisters HAVE told you about how we all had training to be desensitized to bloodshed and violence, you know. Made for better and more effective Eva pilots, you must see.

Tabitha just inherited that training, you know.

" . . .But that all said what I find most jarring about all this business was just who Tabitha and her fellow sisters and Champions actually are," the White Witch continues, looking somewhat lost still as she looks directly at me. “With the exception of Tabitha actually having been an ‘Angel’ before becoming fully human, you all were the First Children from various Neon Genesis realities but . . .you’re acting so differently now as to not be what I expected at all!"

. . .

"And you have a problem with that?" I blurt out, after the small shock of Sidaj knowing that about me and mine. I mean Tabitha had told her things about us but not enough to know enough to jump to THAT!

It’s not something we girls try to hide but it’s not something we advertise either, you see. "Uh that’s interesting but that aside I have a few questions myself," Sarah Conners butts in before the Witch can answer my counter question. "Let’s get back to the part where your sister Yukido and my son John accidently ‘becoming one’ , or Soulbonded as you called it. Starting from there…"
