[ Siffrin sits a little straighter at that mention, looking suddenly awkward. What gave it away? The clear exhausted look? The bags under their eye? Just gives a smile. ]

Not really, just.. trying to absorb all that information in, I guess?

[midway]

[ He's just nosy. ]

It is a lot to take in. [ ... ] Feeling more attached to your egg now?

[punnier]

[ A small nod, it is a lot to take in. As for the question, their head dips a little, gloved hands carefully holding the white egg closer to themselves. ]

..It's.. supposed to represent us? I think I overheard one of them saying. [ (...) ] It's warm to touch.

[midway]

[ Watches him, gaze going from the egg back to Siffrin. ]

That's what I heard. Our souls. [ Lifting a brow. ] Are you surprised your soul could be warm?

[punnier]

[ Yes. ]

No. It's just... really strange? For it to be an egg?

[midway]

... Well, I guess. For me it's less the form that's alarming, and more so the fact that it's separate from my body.

[punnier]

I guess it is pretty weird to have your soul outside your body... maybe this is the only way to properly redeem ourselves? To.. cleanse the soul?

[midway]

... It could be.

It doesn't look that dirty though.

[ Smiles at Siffrin's egg. ]

[punnier]

[ What's that supposed to mean. ]

Thanks? ..Guess it being a darkless egg would probably make it easier to see if it was.

[midway]

[ ? ]

So you're saying it is dirty.

[punnier]

[ ??? WHAT ]

What?

[midway]

[ Blinks at them. ]

You said the soul needs to be cleansed... That implies it's dirty, doesn't it?

[punnier]

[ Oh, that. Offers a small shrug. ]

That's just how some of them refer redemption as. I'm not really sure of it myself. Never really thought of it until now?

[midway]

Well, I don't really know you.

[ To be fair. ]

But I think you have to be a pretty terrible person for your soul to be stained.

[punnier]

[ (...) ]

That's true. Well, I guess all we have to worry about is our journey to redemption. [ Holds his egg a lil close. ]

[midway]

[ Looking at them. ]

What do you think happens if someone else touches your egg?

[punnier]

[ (Huh?) ]

Huh? [ Looks down at egg, looks back at him. ] I'm.. not sure? Have you had anyone touch yours?

[midway]

No, that's kind of weird, isn't it?

That's my soul.

[ anyway keeps looking at siffrin's like he wants to touch it ]

[punnier]

...It is.

[ Sees him just staring. ]

But you still want to try.

[midway]

Can you blame me? It's a once in a not-lifetime opportunity.

[ innocent look ]

[punnier]

I guess it is technically.

[ Hm. ] Try asking me again later.
