Silas
"Mentalish?" Lily asks, calming a little bit as the shadows fade, not pressing as far back. Her own form seems to solidify, but not before she catches sight of it, and she starts freaking out again. "Is... that is that what this is? I thought... I hoped... that I was just imagining things. Things just happened. I can't... I can't control it. I'm not an evil Pokémon! Honest! People who saw things said I was, but I'm not mentalish!" She stares pleadingly at Silas. "You believe me, right? This... this isn't me, I'm not doing this!"

"I believe you, you aren't trying to do this. And, I know you're not a Pokemon. From what I've heard, I was lucky. Some can't control it at the beginning." Silas unclasps the bracelet on his wrist. He places it on the bed between them. "This might help you control it. It will take practice, but you don't need to be afraid of it." While there's no real evidence to believe that the bracelet interacts with Ghost elementalism, it's worth a try. At the very least, the placebo effect cannot be discounted.

Silas
"You... you're giving this to me?" she asks, reaching hesitantly for it. "I've.. never really been given a gift before." She seems a lot calmer now, entirely solid. "It's beautiful. And... this will help with things? I... don't need to worry about hurting anyone? Because I don't want to do that. I don't want to hurt people..."

Silas wasn't planning to actually give the bracelet away, but seeing her reaction, he can't just say that. "Lily, you can't rely on this forever. You'll learn how to control your power. Mistakes will happen, but that's ok. We'll practice with and without it." He's not sure how the mental regression will affect the scope of her power. If she's kept the raw strength she had before, he might want to hold on to the bracelet for protection.

"Oh... okay," she says. "Can we... practice some other time, though? I just... well, I'd like to get out of here, but, besides that, I'd just like to be alone for a little bit... is that okay?"

Silas gives Lily what he hopes is a comforting smile. It's been an emotionally draining visit for her, but she's making progress. "Of course that's okay." Silas picks up the bracelet and starts to wind it back around his wrist. However, seeing Lily's face at being given a gift earlier means that he owes the girl an explanation. "This is all I have from the woman who gave birth to me, so I'd like to hold on to it." Still, Silas makes a mental note to look up the price of something similar later.

Silas
"Ah..." She looks a little disappointed, but understanding. "I see. I couldn't ask you to give up that. Parents are important after all..." She flops onto the bed, laying on her back, staring up at the ceiling. "Thank you, though, Silas... I'll see you another time."
