[An hour or two after this post, she will reach out to Emile after realizing he was back to normal. She didn't take the time to read his post, not yet, but she did see the number of comments and their feelings over the matter. It was negative and....a little toxic. She wanted to check up on him.]
Hey, Emile. This is Nuvia. I wanted to check up on you. Are you okay?
[By this time, Death Knight has slain the dragon and turned over control of the body to Jeritza. Normally he would bristle at the name Emile, but he remembers her voice and her name from when he was turned into a child, so he understands why she's using it. He recalls how kind she was, and so feels the need to respond, though feels a bit awkward. His voice is about three octaves deeper than it was when she met him. Very deep even for an adult man.]
Ah... Hello. Please, call me Jeritza. That is what I go by as an adult.
[Yeah, his voice was definitely deeper than the voice she remembers. It was a little surreal to her but all at once it felt very real too. She couldn't help smiling though.]
It's nice to finally meet you, Jeritza. I promise to call you by your given name for now on.
I'm glad you're okay. I was worried about you. After seeing how your latest post blew up....
[A pause as she thinks about his question for a moment. She wishes she could say she was okay but...it'd be a lie.]
Um, I'm sorry. You asked a question. I'm okay, but worried about you. Are you really okay?
[He's caught off guard by that. Worried about him? It surprises him that she cares that much.]
The whole thing was... Jarring. You see, it was not me who made that post, but someone who shares my body with me... So I was not aware that the post was made or the dragon slain until after the fact.
[Nuvia listens intently to Jeritza, her expression one of curiosity mixed with concern.]
Wow, that must be really confusing... So, you share your body with someone else? Are you sharing your body with another spirit or something? I’m trying to understand… So, you didn’t even know about the post or what happened with the dragon until it was all over?
Spirit? ... Perhaps. He is... A person very different from myself. More cruel... He desires blood. He is called the Death Knight due to his crimes in my home world. He and I... Cannot usually control the body or see through the eyes at the same time. So when he was in control, of the post and the slaying, I was not in the body or aware of what was happening. He gave me back control after the dragon was slain, and Nina explained to me what happened, and then I read the post.
[A piece of her wanted to hear it while another piece wanted to respect his privacy as well. She had to think of her next words carefully. An idea will come to her, but...she didn't like the idea of regaining that ability though.]
Only if you are up to informing about it, if not...you can someday show me instead of telling me.

Does it... Make sense...?
no subject
Oh, I see... so when everything happened, you weren’t in control of your body because the Death Knight was the one in charge...?
[She takes a moment to choose her words carefully, wanting to convey her empathy without making him feel pitied.]
It sounds like such a difficult situation.
[Nuvia hesitates slightly before asking her next question, trying to be as gentle as possible.]
If you don’t mind me asking, why does he want blood? Do you know the reason behind it?
no subject
[He confirms her question, then waits for her to speak.]
Yes, it is... The reason behind it is from our childhood, and it is not a pretty story... So I do not know if you care to hear it.
