👁️ Jellybean 👁️

It was an accident I promise.

Then I realized I could use some of it on my crystal tech hemisphere of my little world and now I have to develop it.

Kill me XD

"A new goal?" If the old Dwarf had to guess it was probably just as sweet as the relationship with Majora sounded.

The blonde listened mutely, glancing at the pot with the Jasmine tea.It should be done just in time. He had been right it was sweet. Chuckling lightly, he returned his attention to the deity.

"How sweet," Hermes commented, he meant it. There was no sarcasm to be found.

Hermes again almost wished things had been different.

“How did that come to pass?" He asked. Just the look on Majora's face told him that whatever happened was incredibly sweet.

there weren't many people, if anyone, he’d consider an equal, but Hermes could see Majora filling that role.

Watching the blood pool under the Deity's skin made him chuckle. He had seen Trish look at Hohenheim like that before he started with his plan;

yet here he was, actively changing before Majora’s eyes. Putting both his own notes and the God's into light.

“It was a pleasure, truly. I enjoy the company.” It was nice having someone that had similar interests and curiosity as he did. It was still an incredibly unusual relationship for him;

“I’m excited to test them. It will be some time before I offer them to my children; I wouldn't want there to be adverse reactions.”

Hermes paused for a moment, reflecting on the Deity’s words. He really had changed a great deal. Before he wouldn't have offered kindness even as a ploy,

That earned a slight arch of an eyebrow

“I wouldn't try to unless they are incorrect." There was a slight tease in the way the words were delivered; it was a subtle shift, but it was something different.

"I've also been thinking about replacing the stones with fixed elements that would reflect the emotion they were to embody. It would be much more stable for them. But you need rest, we can continue this in the morning if need be.”

The blond tilted his head curiously. “Shocked? Why's that?”

But they are still incredibly unstable which would result in the shifts you mentioned.”

That earned a soft laugh.
"They are a bit chaotic, but I can't say I regret making them." Yes, even Greed, despite the sin being involved with killing him.

At the mention of the harmony of souls, he frowned, brow furrowed and eyes narrowed in thought. After a moment he nodded looking up at Majora, that sounded plausible to him.

“The souls acting as temporary functions that mimic life with the memories and energy they provide would make sense.

Reaching over, he picked up and delicately opened the box for the god to choose one of the many teas. “Regardless, that does not diminish the paramount of the transition, a shift like yours is quite remarkable indeed.”

Hermes hummed lightly in thought, nodding at the gentle correction. “Isn’t that all that matters: what you become?” He gave a small shrug as two cups and a teapot with a small box of different teas appeared in an odd shimmering wave of golden lightning on a small table.

“The stone is a creation made from suffering; it's a good thing you're sensitive to it. It tells a lot about the kind of person you are.” He mused with a small smile as he rejoined him on the couch.

Anima can be cultivated over time through care and connection. Even soulless vessels can grow it, eventually gaining memory, mind, life, and the ability to confront mortality. It is the spark that transforms existence into a true living essence.

Psyche: Governs cognition, emotion, perception, choice, and awareness.

Vitae (Life Essence): Fuels living energy and sustains life.

Mortis (Death Essence): Represents decay, mortality, and enables necromantic or transmutational work.

Even without full Anima, a vessel can retain Mnemos, the essence of memory, allowing learning and attachment, though they can not truly experience it.

Anima unfolds into four aspects:

Mnemos (Memory): Scaffolding for identity; memories can be extracted or altered.

The forces were as follows: Aether binds form to will, Umbra records loss, Vita prepares a vessel, Echo carries resonance, Serum opens possibility, but Anima decides identity, purpose (outside of orders), and meaning.

It stated that It cannot be measured, exchanged, or replicated. Without it, a body is only a machine, a mind just a mechanism, and a soul barely a memory.

It stated how it differed from other forces listing a few things that were written about earlier in his notes; he'd show the god if he asked.
