...For the most part, aside from having to live like a human for now.
[ But really, she didn't die, so she considers herself lucky. ]
Did you get whisked away too?
[ First her, then Weiss, now Steven (possibly?) This is...indeed strange. ]

We went to the earth shrine, fought some robots, one grabbed my ankle, and then I lost my seraphic attributes.
[ That's the gist of it, and what he should know. All things considered, they got off easy, with only one casualty. (It still sucks, though. As a fellow spirit, she can kind of feel for another who gets their vessel destroyed in such a manner.) ]

...I see. At the very least, I doubt it will be permanent.
[ that's... huh. well, he appreciates her being clear and concise, but while he would appreciate more details, considering that he barely has any about his own group's escapades in the dungeon, she probably doesn't either.
he's not the best at it, but maybe he can try to lighten things up a bit. ]
How is human life treating you?

I was prepared for hunger and tiredness, but this whole "bodily substances" thing is disgusting. I don't know how you humans deal with it all the time.
[ Snot, sweat, bathroom stuff, and more...ugh!!! ]

Watching people go through the motions is one thing, but doing it yourself because your have to is another. Do humans cope by becoming numb to the filth accumulating on and inside of them?
[ Seriously. Seraphim are capable of eating, tasting, sleeping, and whatnot, but it would be through volition and not necessity. In other words, a luxury, of sorts, done mostly to make humans not feel as strange in their company. ]

Hey.
[ As far as she knows, she didn't do anything to warrant it this time around........?? Maybe this is a "friend" thing. Are they friends? Who knows? ]

Fortunately, no. I've returned to being an "earth angel", judgment and all.
What's the occasion?
[ Curiosity? A conversation piece? Friendship??? An offering to the lord of the land??? ]

[ With the chocolates threatening to escape her grasp, this text comes a little quicker than she'd like to admit. Her weakness. ]
Untrue.
Just because seraphim don't get hungry doesn't mean we don't appreciate food. We still retain our sense of taste, you know.
[ Besides, if someone was hungry, chocolates are not exactly the most filling thing to get them... ]

[ Okay, this text message arrives slower than the rest of hers, as if she's deliberating the pros of the cons of meeting up with Jaune Arc.
(There's no "as if", really.) ]
If you want to see it that way, I'm not going to stop you.
[ Because the truth is, she'd been a little lonely. Again, when you're used to the laughter and life that once inhabited an apartment this large, it just seems depressingly empty and lifeless in comparison. She's no stranger to living alone (all those years on the mountain trained her to be patient if nothing else), but she's learned she can't just pull through solely by herself like she used to either. ]

[ Her thoughts exactly. She strides over to the door and opens it, an unimpressed look on her face (business as usual, really.) ]
Were you there the whole time? I don't know whether to call that dedicated or slightly creepy.
[ A mix of both??? ]

[ And he ate it early again!! Well, that's not too surprising anyway. ]
Nope. Both it is. But whatever. Your questionable history of waiting outside of people's rooms without their permission can wait, I guess.
[ In favor of candy.
She doesn't outright say to come in, but she holds open the door to her (formerly their) apartment and holds her arm out in the direction of the living room. The apartment itself has 3 rooms too many for a tiny seraph to live in, and it looks homelier than one would expect of her. Although she forwent many material things while living up on Rayfalke, the former residents of their home decided that they could spruce up the place a bit. There are pieces of modern furniture and appliances (coming from fantasy JRPGland makes you think all these things are so!! cool!!!) but also odds and ends laying around, the ones she could never bring herself to clean up.
Sorey and Mikleo's books, some dogeared and some not, but all never to be returned to the library. Lailah's odds and ends, origami and paper slips with drawings and writing on them. They all just kind of accepted Alisha would be the one with the best sense of interior decoration (given everyone else's backgrounds...), so the style of furnishing is all hers. Prim and proper, but not in an overbearing way. Like the wind, Dezel's left little trace of himself, save for his hat in his bedroom (and yes, he had an entire bedroom to himself). Lastly, Rose's trinkets, collected from her job as a merchant or just from window shopping at all the new things she wanted to try out. Quality assured from a girl with a merchant's eye, of course. ]

[ Jaune takes in all the decorations around him, sort of getting the sense that a lot more people lived here than he knew. He was friends with Alisha and Sorey, but they never really visited each other, so this is his first time here.
He hands Edna the half-eaten box and glances at Lailah's art on the wall. ]
You're into drawing?

Nah. That's Lailah's work. The origami's her work too. She's the one right here, with the long hair.
[ Edna points to a part of the drawing, and there is indeed a woman with very, very long hair, drawn in a somewhat cartoonish style. The rest of the characters in the drawing are also drawn in a similarly cartoonish style, with varying exaggerated expressions on their faces (like Mikleo's exasperation, or Dezel's frumpy grumpiness, complete with shark teeth). Jaune will be able to recognize Alisha and Sorey, at the very least, both with smiles on their faces. ]

...That's right. Not all at the same time, but most of them.
[ It's something she's been thinking about since their encounter in the church, seeing him pore over the names of those who have left. He had people he wanted to remember too, right? At least he remembers. She won't say it out loud, but she appreciates people who can remember, good times and bad, even if that includes Jaune. ]

[ Jaune has to wonder if Edna feels like the way she did when she lived on that mountain for... how many years was it again? Either way, it's a long time to not want to be lonely any longer.
He tilts his head, examining the wall further. These are all reminders of people who are gone, but none of whom are still here for her. ]
Hmm... mind if I add a drawing of my own?
