Yes, right. Out of curiosity, my dad used up about 3/4 of his soul to make three sorcerous jewels. The trouble we had from those wretched things would require a building the size of Hadriel's ruined library to hold the parchment to write the story on.
[ And of course he doesn't realize she's not talking about her own spirit. ]
If you were going to do such a thing, of course it would matter to me! Wouldn't it matter to you??
( By now, she's had more than enough of talking about why this is so terrible. Sue a woman for spending months seeing her friend's soul literally leaking out of his body and feeling desperate to prevent that. )
Taken too long trying to fix things and running out of soul to save.
Running out of soul? What a minute. You're trying to save a soul, and it's. . . diminishing? Dying? Is that what you're saying? Whose soul? Yours, or someone else's?
[ Because if Kate were talking about her own soul, she'd be in worse shape than she looks to be at this moment, wouldn't she?? ]
( It was described as being like an enchantment, and she used to make those as easily as she breathed for the most part. How much different could it have been? )
And if people are telling you it is dangerous, I'm sure that is true. I can't imagine what you're describing as NOT being horribly dangerous.
So are you saying you aren't going to do it?
[ Because different as they are, he and Kate are both risk-takers. If she's going to get herself killed or worse, he at least wants to know about it. Hadriel would not be the same without her, not even if it were a temporary sort of dissolution. ]

You want this thing to contain part of your SOUL? Why would you want to do such a thing to your poor spirit???

( Not her soul. And actually only because she can't see any other option. )
Does it matter?

What is the problem, exactly? Why are you down to only one option?

I look like my soul's dying?

text > private.
No, Kate, you don't look like your soul is dying. [ A long, long way from it! ]

You're saying that you're doing this for someone else, that it isn't your soul that's going into the phylactery.
Tell me, how dangerous is this for that person and for you?

I'm glad.
