I like her already, [Pepper says with a grin. It'd be cool to meet Hiyori someday, but she won't hold her breath.] I'm glad you have someone like that around to either get you into or keep you out of trouble.

I didn't realize souls were so... detachable, though. I mean, back in Keeliai we had these things called soul gems that were literally supposed to be our souls, or anchors for our souls, in jewelry. Which meant they could actually get lost - or stolen - but what you're talking about sounds like more of a permanent-ish problem.
