"The Prophets have foretold of my finding you. The Ones Who Came Before led me to you."

*Kris sighed. She wondered if she was going to get anything coherent out of her.*
"Aren't you Emily's kid?"

"...Emily--the Prophet. Have you read the Holy Texts?" *She beamed and dug in her bag for a moment before proudly producing what appeared to be a slightly ratty-looking notebook bearing a scratchy, hand-written title and a bad doodle of a daisy.*
The Diary of Emily.
"There is mention of you in several encounters; and others as well. She speaks of your power--powers she had, as well."

*Kris absently took the notebook and looked blankly at it.*
"But she has powers, too, Ruby. As do others."
*She looked carefully at the girl.*
"What is it you're seeking from me?"

"...I only seek to worship you, and perhaps to deserve your favour. You and your companions. I recall little of the Prophet Emily. She departed when I was a child, or so I am told by my father."

*This was highly weirding Kris out.*
"Oh, you have my favor," *she said cheerfully.* "Any child of Emily's... You don't have to worship me to be my friend."
Or whatever.

"...child of Emily? I merely follow her teachings." *Ruby shook her head.*

"My mother died when I was born, Mighty One," *said Ruby quietly.*

"Oh! I'm sorry," *Kris said quickly, chagrined. She realized she wasn't exactly sure of Ruby's history, or what Emily had told her.
Ruby was alone, sort of like her. With Brandi and Cry-Baby so busy, so pulled in all directions, there hadn't been much for Kris to do but try to keep the Inn running to the best of her limited ability with domestic matters.*
"Are you hungry?"

*Ruby beamed and shook her head.*
"Thank you, Mighty One, but I have been fasting all week. I no longer feel hunger."

"Well you have to break that fast sometime," *Kris pointed out, not wanting to be the cause of this girl's anorexia.* "Any plans to do that?"
