"For now, I must see to other matters. Vivian [is] with us, if you'd like to see her soon. I imagine you and Tirum have some catching up to do, first. May I help you to your accommodations?"

She holds out her hand; though it is incorporeal, it is primed with a Teleport that grants it little weight.

Two souls... for a moment, she wonders if this dive into another sea of information might help her own endeavors–

but she catches Tirum's eye, ever watchful, always soaking up every detail, and her thoughtful look is neatly tucked behind an even, calm expression.

"I'll work quickly," she promises.

and most importantly, the impact two lives' worth of memories would have on... well, each soul, potentially. There was so much to research.

But fortunately, Ril is confident that she is abundantly suited for the task, both in resources and understanding of the matters in play - matters of the soul.

He isn't the only one with a racing mind. Lorelei seemed over her head, primarily concerned with the risk involved with her situation. When she had had time to rest and process, the Changeling Lich wished to have answers ready.

of what to look out for. In the short term, there shouldn't be harmful side effects, but these cases such as ours are unusual, so do find me if anything distressing seems to happen. Blackouts, dissonance, that sort of thing.

Any questions?"

especially with the life she lived. Ultimately, she was unharmed by the experience. I imagine that is among your concerns?"

She considers what little is before her at the moment, then nods half to herself. "I will learn what I can of the woman who lived here, if only to give a better idea

was one of many creations of mine.

I cannot explain her purpose at this time, but as you saw, when I traveled to your world, we became one. When I left, I adjusted her memories. It was for the best, the knowledge I have would be difficult to digest on your world,

"That– oh!" She'd nearly interrupted Tirum, but she's pleasantly surprised. "Well, yes, that's quite a good way to put it. Two or more, but that's semantics.

Some, such as myself, do this quite intentionally. Amaryllis Bright of New Vegas, the one you first met who now goes by Sage,

On rare occasion, you'll se a full overlap of both time and soul.

I would have to look into this matter you've stumbled into to be sure, but I suspect you're part of the latter, or at least close to it. Do you share any memories with the Lorelei who was already here? Do you know of any similarity?"

She gestures an incorporeal hand to Lorelei herself, content to ignore Tirum as long as he wishes to stare out a window.

"There are... overlaps, to put it rather simply. Places where events repeat themselves in different 'buildings.' Sometimes it's merely a soul that echoes elsewhere.

and some will take you to other rooms still.

But a few, of course, will bring you outside, and you may find yourself in another house entirely, if you know the path. Or even if you get lost. Does that make more sense?

I'm afraid that's the simple matter. The rest..."

The beginning of her explanation, starting with the trunk, is largely what Tirum expects. When she catches Lorelei's frustrated look, she takes a different approach.

"If it helps - imagine the trunk itself as a doorway into a room you didn't know about yet. That room will have other doors,

Well, I suppose I can spare [one] little request...
