Saya, Hagi... please wait to hear from me. Try to rest as best as possible Hagi, hopefully we'll have you back to normal soon...

Lilith, I'll be needing to take the day off for important business concerning my patient. Hopefully, I will return tomorrow.

[ARTEMIS FILTER]

Mr. Reed and Mr. Dylandy, if you could both take time out of your busy schedules and attend me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have a rather interesting case that I'm working on... a patient that I wish to restore to full health. Considering the gravity of his wounds, I shall be taking a different approach to this matter, although I'm confident that the results we can gain from this will benefit not only this individual, but our own efforts within the company.

Can you spare a moment of your time?

[DEITY FILTER// Unhackable// Viewable (hopefully) by CLOW REED & LYLE DYLANDY]

I'd like to negotiate a deal with you...


[ooc: I'd like to keep the information that reaches Clow, and Lyle limited if the deity would even allow the eavesdropping. Up to whoever would reply as to what they'd prefer to do.]

Smiling, Solomon rose to greet his guest. "Lady Basene, a pleasure as always."

He gave a casual dismissive wave of his hand, belying the nervousness that was growing in the pit of his stomach at his upcoming deal. "I assure you, everything will be fine."

At least he still could be polite. How pleasant he was being though...that was rather irritating considering the circumstances. He could destroy everything with this idiotic idea of his.

"I assure you that making deals with the Deities never turns out well."

Her frown deepened. "I recommend you do not go through with this."

She didn't understand...

"I'm afraid that there isn't much of a choice in the matter if I am to heal Hagi. Unless you know of some other way to grow back an arm?"

Sitting on the edge of his desk, his countenance grew more serious. "I cannot fail."

Clearly, Solomon wasn't interested in seeing reason. Wonderful. She sighed and started layering weaves on his mind. Only she could see them. That was a blessing. One by one. She only needed enough of them to get Solomon to do exactly what she said.

"I have seen such a thing performed before."

"I think Saya would not be patient enough for me to go about more conventional methods to restore an arm... and a prosthetic is of course out of the question."

He turned his back to her as he retreated to gaze out the window at the City beyond. "Can you think of no faster way than to approach a god? By nightfall he can be whole."

"There are those in the City who probably have the power. In fact, it would surprise me if they were there and all they needed was convincing."

By now, a human mind would already be under her control. Solomon had a certain immunity to her skills. No matter. She didn't care.

"Bargaining with Deity is considered to be foolish here."

"What would be the difference between speaking to one of the deities, and another more powerful citizen of this place?" Time was running out. If he didn't produce results quickly, Saya would lose faith in him...

He appreciated Lady Basene's advice, but the stakes were far too high to be wasted on 'ifs' and 'maybes'. "There would be a price no matter what..."

"What are you trying to prove with this little act of yours?"

Another thread dragged a chair over. This she sat in as she continued to concentrate on the threads directed towards his head.

"Are you trying to get this girl to fall for you by doing this?"

"Act? It's no act..." He turned to watch her as she sat, eyes noticing the way the light played upon her long blond hair.

"I..."

Saya. Was that truly what he was hoping for? If that was so, then it seemed a foolish thing to restore his rival for her affections...

"She will feel as she feels. But for her happiness, I would do most anything."

Oh wonderful. She was trying to stop a devoted fool in love. She could just feel the headache coming from this. Men like him could be so tiresome.

"Does she approve of this? You would see her happy but would she be happy with your sacrifice?"

"... I don't really know how she'd react. Would it bother her what I gave up if she could have Hagi back once again?"

He didn't know why he felt at ease telling her such things. There were very few people that he opened up to about his tumultuous relationship with his beloved.

"I don't intend to give my life... even to be City Dead. What is there that I have that I'd miss so terribly much when she's here?"

That answer was easy. She just wouldn't give it to him. Instead, she decided to work faster with her weaves. Before he did something remarkably unintelligent.

"I am sure you know the answer to that."

Indecision filled him. Was he doing the wrong thing by insisting on taking such drastic measures so quickly? Perhaps he should have asked the other members of his organization before having come to the conclusion that going to the deities was the only way.

Where was Van when he needed someone to handle matters for him?

"Lady Basene... surely you see the reasoning behind my decision. What else can be done?"

"Did you look before you went to the Deities?"

How long was it going to take before the weaves took hold? She was already using far more than usually. Far more.

"It seems to me you didn't."

Casting his eyes to the ground, his brow furrowed and he frowned. She was unhappy with him...

It was a bit embarrassing, how foolish he must seem to her. In an unconscious gesture, he ran his hand through his hair, shifting on his feet like a child who had been caught doing something bad.

"... I... probably should have..." Peeking out through the longer lengths of his bangs, he grinned sheepishly. "I'm sorry. But, Hagi... I have to fix this..."

He paused, puzzled by his actions. Hadn't he been determined just moment before? Still... she had a point. It was well known by anyone that was close to Solomon that he on occasion would act on his impulses without thinking...

Perhaps this had been a mistake after all.

The hesitations were a positive. It was finally starting to work.

Finally.

Her lips almost curled into a smile but she stopped them before they could do so. That would ruin things. "Why must you fix this? I am failing to see that."

"Hagi is family to me... as is Saya. I've sworn to protect her with my life, and by extension, I wish to be of assistance to him as well."

Sighing, he thought back to the family he'd lost. Amshel, Nathan, Carl, James, and last but not least, Diva. It had been one of the hardest decisions he'd ever made, turning against them. But Saya was their bride... he just couldn't continue to support their plans to kill her. Not Saya...

He longed for that sort of bond again. To be a part of things, to be needed... to be able to spend his life as a part of something greater.

Family. Love. All of this childish devotion was making her feel ill. While he wasn't looking she actually rolled her eyes in disgust.

"I think you shouldn't make a deal with the Deities."

Hopefully the Compulsion was working by now.

"... shouldn't... but..." He struggled, his thoughts a mess of indecision and haziness.

"I can't just leave this. If there's another way, please tell me." He gazed at her imploringly, desperately trying to figure out how to make things better.

"Do you know of a way to restore a missing limb?"

"I can get you an arm. You can find someone with the power to restore his arm. But you shouldn't make a deal with the Deities."

She was so close. And he was still backing off.

"It would be a bad idea to make a deal with the Deities."

"... the arm... would have to be compatible to his genetic make up. It will be easy for the arm to reattach itself if it were the correct type..."

He felt comfortable in her presence, as if they'd known each other all their lives. Surely, she would understand.

"I want it to be perfect... he's a musician you know."

Apparently the Deity idea was gone. Hopefully. Crossing her legs, she studied him for several long moments.

"How would one be sure the arm was compatible?"

Action

From: [identity profile] favoritetraitor.livejournal.com
"I can only think of one way... but she would not accept it." He frowned, frustrated at the thought of his efforts being thwarted. "It would have to be of the same genetic structure... and since there are no donors of that nature in the City that I'm aware of, we'd have to recreate one."

The idea was certain to work, the principles were sound. But it would take time, and Saya would no doubt be horrified at the prospect, even if it would restore Hagi to the man he had once been.

"But, my knowledge of magic is virtually non-existent. Perhaps that would be an option...?"

From: [identity profile] akaladybasene.livejournal.com
"It would. Of course, it may require a sample of Hagi's tissue in order to recreate a limb."

She had seen it done many time before. Thousands of years ago but she still remembered it well. Her specialty was the mind yet that didn't stop her from having knowledge in other areas.

"My knowledge is mainly in the One Power though. Not magic."

Action

From: [identity profile] favoritetraitor.livejournal.com
"Acquiring a sample from Hagi should not be a problem..." He gazed thoughtfully over at the woman across from him. "This "One Power"... can it manifest an arm for him?"

The idea was both frightening and exciting at the very same time. In his world there was no such thing as magic. But if there had been... his mind reeled at the possibilities.
