Ash raised an eyebrow.
"You go around Fae circles?" he asked Lindsay.
"No..." Lindsay responded.
"I mean, I've met various different fae in my past, and we've shared information and stories, but we then part ways and I rarely, if ever, see them again." he said.
"...that explains it." Ash commented.
"It does?" Lindsay inquired.
"The information network of the Fae is... well... almost equivalent to the internet, in terms of connectivity and information sharing." Ash told him.

Kylie just chuckled.
"Ah, but one of your patients is half fae, as well." She told Lindsay.
"And I realize you likely don't know that detail. But her mana was always a bit odd, wasn't it?" She asked with a light smirk.
Lindsay was silent for a moment, before his eyes widened.
"...oh, my!" he exclaimed.
"Eh? Who?" Ash asked.
"Doctor-patient confidentiality." Lindsay responded.
"Hmph." Ash mumbled.
"Well, whatever, I'm going to leave you two to talk." Ash said.
"I assume you'll know how to find me afterwards?" he then asked Kylie.
"...oh, my!" he exclaimed.
"Eh? Who?" Ash asked.
"Doctor-patient confidentiality." Lindsay responded.
"Hmph." Ash mumbled.
"Well, whatever, I'm going to leave you two to talk." Ash said.
"I assume you'll know how to find me afterwards?" he then asked Kylie.
Kylie looked to Ash before nodding.
"I'm bound to you for the moment. I will be able to find you with zero issues." She told him honestly, and simply.
"It will be quite hard for you to hide from me, even."
"....rather eerie." Ash muttered.
"But that's still kinda cool." he said.
"Anyway, later." he told them, before leaving the two of them to discuss matters.
He then made his way to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of something from the fridge, and then made his way out to the backyard, not bothering to check if anyone else was out there.
"...the hell do I do?" he asked himself.
"But that's still kinda cool." he said.
"Anyway, later." he told them, before leaving the two of them to discuss matters.
He then made his way to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of something from the fridge, and then made his way out to the backyard, not bothering to check if anyone else was out there.
"...the hell do I do?" he asked himself.
"Eh?" He heard from near the pool. When he looked, he saw Casey there.
"What do you mean?" She asked, her voice curious.
"Something bugging you?" She then followed up with, as she set her paintbrush down.
"Huh?" he asked, looking over at the pool.
"Oh, hey Casey." he said, making his way over.
"And... bugging me? I... don't know if that's the wording I'd use." he told her.
"It's... hard to explain f I truncate it, so here's the story." he said further, sitting down close to the pool.
He then launched into the explanation, telling her about the hunt, the fae, the trip home, and everything he'd learned from Lindsay, as well as where the two of them were now, and what they were doing.
"So... now I have a wish. Apparently, I can have ANYTHING I want. Like... at ALL." he told her.
"It's like having the weight of the world on my shoulders for some reason." he sighed.
"Oh, hey Casey." he said, making his way over.
"And... bugging me? I... don't know if that's the wording I'd use." he told her.
"It's... hard to explain f I truncate it, so here's the story." he said further, sitting down close to the pool.

"It's like having the weight of the world on my shoulders for some reason." he sighed.
Casey was silent as Ash said all he did. When he finished, she just shrugged.
"So don't think about it." She told him after a few seconds.
"And I mean that seriously. Don't think about it. Overtime, it'll just come to you." She told him.
"And it'll be something more true and natural. Not something that you think you want."
"Yeah, that's true." Ash replied.
"Just... I dunno, I don't want to waste Kylie's time, I guess." he said.
"Or feel ungrateful." he went on.
".......hm." he then mumbled.
"Say..." he muttered.
"Just out of curiosity, if you were in my shoes, what would YOU wish for?" he asked her.
"Just... I dunno, I don't want to waste Kylie's time, I guess." he said.
"Or feel ungrateful." he went on.
".......hm." he then mumbled.
"Say..." he muttered.
"Just out of curiosity, if you were in my shoes, what would YOU wish for?" he asked her.
"To be human again." Casey answered simply, plainly, and almost too quickly.
"Honestly, I would take the chance if I had it, with no repercussions." She added.
"But I get that you're not me. Perhaps you could wish for something regarding your cooking?" She asked.
"Whether it be a constant supply of something, or the ability to do something you've never been able to get a grasp on, or anything else. "
Ash was silent as he heard Casey's wish, blunt, quick, and plain as day.
".....I see." he said.
"And a constant supply of something? I don't think so." he told her.
"I prefer to go and get what I want and need." he said.
"The harder one works for something, the more one appreciates it, and the better it is overall, and all that." he reasoned.
"Hm." he then mumbled.
"Yeah... I shouldn't be surprised that you want to be rid of... well... that." he told her, gesturing to her feline ears, as Kit, Casey's black panther companion, seemed to lay down dejectedly.
".....I see." he said.
"And a constant supply of something? I don't think so." he told her.

"Yeah... I shouldn't be surprised that you want to be rid of... well... that." he told her, gesturing to her feline ears, as Kit, Casey's black panther companion, seemed to lay down dejectedly.
'I hate how the public sees me." Casey then commented.
"I love 'em overall, but damn if I can't stand how I'm treated on the street, because I can't hide them like I can hide my tail." She added.
"I want to be rid of that, but I can't change anyon's opinions, so I'd have to change something about myself."She explained, proving it was a less depressive reasoning than Ash was likely thinking.
"I see." Ash replied.
"Well, being as high-profile as you are, I suppose that does matter a little bit more to you." he said.
"But thanks for the input." he said further.
"...now that I think about it, one would think everyone in our group has that one big thing they'd change without hesitation." he sighed.
"Well... actually, I can't think about what I would change, if anything." he then admitted.
"Well, being as high-profile as you are, I suppose that does matter a little bit more to you." he said.
"But thanks for the input." he said further.
"...now that I think about it, one would think everyone in our group has that one big thing they'd change without hesitation." he sighed.
"Well... actually, I can't think about what I would change, if anything." he then admitted.
"There's noting about your life you'd change?" Casey asked after a moment.
"Nothing at all?" She then added before shrugging.
"Who knows?" She asked.
"You'll have to see if you can think of anything."
"See, one would think I'd want my past to be changed, so none of that misery every happened." Ash responded.
"But that would be more for Mom's sake, so she didn't go all terror on Europe." he told her.
"Yes, my past sucked, but... I dunno, it seemed to work out for me." he reasoned.
"I'm a successful chef, a successful hunter, I have my family back..." he went on.
"And I have friends I wouldn't trade for anything." he told her with a smile.
"Not to... y'know, go all Disney after-school special on you." he added.
"But that would be more for Mom's sake, so she didn't go all terror on Europe." he told her.
"Yes, my past sucked, but... I dunno, it seemed to work out for me." he reasoned.

"And I have friends I wouldn't trade for anything." he told her with a smile.
"Not to... y'know, go all Disney after-school special on you." he added.
Casey just laughed lightly.
"I know what you mean. Change one thing, however small you may believe it is, and you'll change everything about you and who you are, the world you are in." She commented.
"It's almost a disappointment. If only just because it'd be nice to be able to change one or two things." She added before shrugging.
"The butterfly effect is a thing though."
"Sadly." Ash responded.
"Like, if you did wish to be human again, then that could mean that the change never happened... but who knows where you'd be right now, if that happened." he went on.
"Just... yeah." he muttered.
"I suppose I should just keep pondering this wish of mine." he said.
"Maybe get input from others."
"Like, if you did wish to be human again, then that could mean that the change never happened... but who knows where you'd be right now, if that happened." he went on.
"Just... yeah." he muttered.
"I suppose I should just keep pondering this wish of mine." he said.
"Maybe get input from others."
"No reason not to." Casey commented before sighing.
"But don't let them sway you for what YOU want." She added.
"Don't do something that will affect anyone else, unless that's waht you h onestly want to do in your heart." She added
"Yeah." Ash replied.
"I know. A wish is not something to be used flippantly." he said.
"Consequences must be considered." he went on.
He was then silent, and laughed.
"A shame this didn't happen some time ago." he told her.
"I'd wish for Vanessa to have not been a threat." he said further, before pausing.
"Though... even then, I'd have to wonder how THAT would have gone down, and the butterfly effect..." he admitted.
"I know. A wish is not something to be used flippantly." he said.

"Honestly, the entire dynamic of our lives would be changed." Casey commented.
"You and Lindsay would have grown up with your mother. Unless she'd been burned at the stake, and you two with her for being the children of a witch." She then said after a few seconds.
"Know what? You would have grown up with your Aunt, had she survived the persecution. Not with Vanessa."
