Charcoal Ch. 06

It could have been a subtle Talent but it was Sylvia. As she was sweeping them out of the library and upstairs to 'prepare themselves to be truly met' Soul thought. She could influence mood. That's how she got everyone to do what they wanted, that's why the house was so oppressive, that was why it was all so vague. Soul wondered if she knew what her Talent was, or if she just knew that she always got her way. She had wanted him to forgive Scott and he had, she had wanted him to want Scott and he had, she had wanted him to feel frightened, and he had been. But once his decisions were made they were set and a mood wouldn't change it. Filing the information for later consideration Soul began his second shower of the day and prepared to meet The Others.
