Odessa smiled in gratitude toward Loghain, but she was not sure which would be stronger: The boards, or Nikita.
Nikita shelved the last book from her pile and dusted off her outfit, then turned to face her mother...
"I'm going to go into town to buy some supplies. I'll be back soon."
Odessa nodded her consent, and Nikita stepped outside and headed toward town...

Lohgain stood up, sort of, having finished his work and looked to Odessa after Nikita left. "Your daughter is more than she seems. Am I wrong in assuming your scar was caused by her?"

Odessa glanced at him sideways as she considered her answer to his question...
"You would be correct." She answered slowly, still debating how much she would tell him if she asked...

"If you do not wish to tell me anything else, it is well within your rights."

Odessa held back a smile...
"What I tell you depends on how strongly you believe in the supernatural..."

"I have seen enough to not simply doubt something exists solely because I can't see it all the time."

Odessa shook her head and moved toward the bookshelves, running her thin fingers along the spines of the leather-bound books. She took a breath, trying to figure out how to explain...
"I don't mean ghosts, Lohgain... I mean... I mean demons..."

"My statemnt applies to demons as well, I have yet to see one, so it can be considered among those I was reffering to."

Odessa's mood seemed to darken only slightly...
"Oh... Well, good, then... I'm sure you'll see one soon enough..." Her voice dropped off as the sentence drew on...

As Odessa spoke, Lohgain bussied himself by cleaning the ceiling, he was more than tall enough for the task and he needed something to do.

Odessa sighed as she once again thought of the night before...
"Lohgain, what do you think of Nikita, so far?"

Without even looking down from the ceiling, Lohgain gave a simple answer in his typical droning, depressed voice. "As I stated earilier, I believe she is more than she appears. I also believe that she is rather rebellious and often dangerous, a bad combonation."

Odessa sighed again and plopped down into a chair...
"She's a good girl... Helpful, able, and for the most part, responsible..." She paused for a bit, pulling one of the large, leather-bound tomes out of the shelf beside her...
"She just can't help what she's becoming..."

"I see...and just what is she becoming that worries you so?" Having managed to clean the entire ceiling of the room they were in, Lohgain sat in a corner again and picked up his cleaver-like sword.

Odessa fell silent for a bit as she flipped through the pages of the tome she held. The shop was almost completely clean, and she would finish when Nikita returned...
"She... Nikita is not my daughter... It feels strange to admit that, after so many years of claiming her as my own... I found her on one of my journeys, back when I used to travel. Her family had abandoned her because she carried a sort of curse..." She fingered the edges of the page she was reading, cursing slightly when it resulted in a cut on her finger...
"Every night, Nikita becomes a sort of demon, Loghain..."
