From:

eudaimoniac

[huh. he spends a moment trying to match what to whom and then moves on

dives back into the plethora of STUFF]

From:

fujimaru

The bonsai tree in particular feels somehow familiar to him, if he holds it for longer than a couple of seconds.

But there is SO much stuff in this room. Why would a girl have this much stuff.

From:

eudaimoniac

[any jewelry boxes on an armoire? bedside table? aaaa]

From:

fujimaru

It doesn't appear she has anything like that, though that tentacle is still definitely watching his every move.

From:

eudaimoniac

[against his better judgment. approaches the tentacle]

Can you speak?

From:

fujimaru

It waves at him, like a catspaw waving, but there is no vocal answer.

From:

eudaimoniac

[getting closer]

Can you understand me, then? Two waves for yes?

From:

fujimaru

There is a pause, and then it waves at him twice, twitching the tip of one tentacle.

From:

eudaimoniac

Excellent. Then—

Would you happen to know where a ring is?

From:

fujimaru

There is a longer pause, and then another two waves. This is much more tentative, like it isn't sure if it should be answering him.

From:

eudaimoniac

I think I need it to help Ritsuka. Wandering around this place certainly doesn't seem to be helping.

From:

fujimaru

It sort of sinks in on itself, a fat little ball shape (or close, ish, to one), all of those eyes still staring at him.

From:

eudaimoniac

Really. I just want to help.

From:

fujimaru

The tentacle does not appear to be terribly convinced, but after a couple of seconds, it does start to beckon him closer.

From:

eudaimoniac

[walking up to it!]

From:

fujimaru

It rears up a little, like it's trying to make itself seem bigger and more intimidating, but honestly--all things considered that could be possible, it does not. It's only maybe about half the length of a man's forearm, from elbow to fingertips. Those eyes are perhaps the most intimidating part, all sharp and unblinking and staring at him.

From:

eudaimoniac

Do you know something that could point me toward the ring?

From:

fujimaru

It sort hunkers itself down when he asks it. Despite being a thing with no real facial features, it seems somehow... guilty...?

From:

eudaimoniac

You seem like you do.

From:

fujimaru

It shakes itself back and forth, like a kid shaking its head vigorously no. But it does try to keep itself as hunched down as close to its own base as possible.

From:

eudaimoniac

[softly] Please. I need to help her. I can't force you to do anything, but I'd appreciate a little cooperation.

From:

fujimaru

It stays still for a very long few seconds, and then finally, as if greatly resigned, it sort of--hops backwards a little. It's graceless, because it's such a small awkwardly-shaped thing, but it still does. And when it moves, he can see that it was, in fact, sitting on the ring the entire time.

From:

eudaimoniac

[BLINKS]

Ah, there, that wasn't so hard, was it?

[slowly reaches to take it?]

From:

fujimaru

It does bristle at him, but it doesn't try to stop him as he takes it.

The ring itself is a heavy gold band, unadorned, but if he can sense magic at all, it is intensely powerful. This might actually be a divine construct, let's be honest.

From:

eudaimoniac

[wow wow okay]

And now what do I do with this. Am I supposed to kill the King of Mages with this ring. What.
