Drae took a swig of the offered flask. The medicine within was familiar to him, and he was aware of the consequences of drinking too much of it. Fortunately the single swig was all that was needed, and the burning sensation in his hands and chest faded, and the bump on his head went away. The pressure, however, didn't go away, but that told him that it DEFINITELY wasn't injury related. 

"Heaven forbid I have to go find a place big enough for all of you. I don't know if I would be able to handle many more than Sapphire, Iva, and Rohan on my own, not unless you older children were helping out. Finding a place though? Heh, I'd be better off building us our own castle," he said with a dry chuckle. He watched as Foxglove touched the crystal, and suddenly flung it across the room after it burned her. It bounced off the stone floor once before Drae sent out his hand and it floated back into his grip. 

"I know it's selfish, but I am an inherently selfish being," he said with a shrug and a smile, old Drae slipping back in. 
"As far as what to do with it… there are options. In the same tome I read about transfusing a soul there was also something about building vessels to house souls without bodies in. That could be an option, though it isn't one I particularly like, at least not for Angela. If I could find a way to build her a body again, like she did for you, that would be best," he explained. "As for Dalanesca… I more inclined to let in sink in for a bit… I have a feeling that she will come to her senses, hopefully with Moliira's help, and she'll want to make amends. But I could just be thinking wishfully…" 

He raised an eyebrow about Iva, and realized that what Foxglove said was right. "She has been unusually calm about this, hasn't she? I'll have to worm it out of her with a tea party…" he said thoughtfully. He looked up at her when she said she was glad that he was all right. He chuckled softly. "Believe me, we've both seen worse than a glancing ball of hellfire," he said with a half-smile. "It would take a lot more than that to knock me and Thyme out of commission." 

He sighed and laid back. "How are things here? I assume you've taken control of the place? Is everyone pitching in and helping in this aftermath?"

Foxglove offered him a smile and laughed. “I think that is one of the things that mom really did love about you in the beginning sometimes.” She was teasing him now. “She took to you really well.” She listened to the options and thought about it. “Well… obviously, a body like mine might be a bit out of the question. She made it real… what we’re talking about in this case would be a construct that she could turn real.” She mused. “It gets even worse past that… The body has to be strong enough to house the soul. The crystal is made of Mother so that’s why it works. Gathering the crystals from her old body would be best but face it people are gathering them up like you wouldn’t believe. It would be hard to find which ones are her and which ones are normal.” She was purely thinking with logic, obviously, something Angela designed her to do. “I think the same thing… I think Dal will come around. It might be a bit late for her to do so but Mother asked that we not avenge her and just make peace.”

She laughed and shook her head. “I don’t know if she is keeping it a secret because she thinks it’s the best or if someone has told her to keep it. We don’t know a lot about the seer ability she has. We know they come in the form of dreams. In which case, she was dreaming about it for a while. But it would be best to have a tea party to try and get it out of her.”

She nodded about his knowledge on the hellfire and took a deep sigh. “People panicked at first when the realm didn’t go down. Then when I showed up they thought I was taking over.” She answered truthfully. “I’ve let them believe it for now but I don’t think that’s quite right. Because Mother hasn’t truly fallen and well… she is inside of a crystal I think it will stand until we either fail to bring her back or the Voice determines she’s not fit to be here… have she said anything you?”
