Candy smiled fondly at Onyxx, her fingers trailing over the stubble on his cheek. "I bet you're a wonderful leader." She loved that he seemed to have missed her as much as she'd missed him, and when his arms wrapped around her, she immediately nuzzled into him as best she could. That seemed to play into his plans; she was soon giggling when he carried her to the table, blushing faintly.
She munched on a piece of bacon, trying to quiet Boa inside her head. Odd. Both of us dead, but not. Were you assassinated as well? Candy forgot herself for a moment and spoke aloud to her soul's sister. "It's his story to tell Boa, he'll tell it in time." Realizing she'd spoken aloud, she blushed and looked over at Onyxx.
"When I was a baby - still in my mother - the Fantomaya found my mother. They'd traveled from the Abarat with a girl's soul. Her name was Boa, and she'd been the princess of the Daytime Hours. She'd been murdered on her wedding day. She was set to marry Finnegan Hob, a halfbreed, and she'd been assassinated by a dragon. The dragon was sent by someone who'd courted her, someone she'd rejected named Christopher Carrion." Candy swallowed hard, looking at her hands. Someone I just drowned.
