"Absolutely," said Carly.  "So, I'll get this thing set up for you.  I'm sure you can handle it."

"Thanks, I should be getting home and get things ready for tomorrow," Elizabeth said.

"Cool," said Carly.  "And good luck!"

"Thanks, see you tomorrow!" Elizabeth said as she left.

Well, there was the church.  And it was dark-- no one was around, apparently.

"It's pretty creepy at night," Elizabeth said.

"Who's there?" a voice called, moving through the darkness.

"It's Elizabeth," Elizabeth said.

...Apparently, Carly had found the Dragon Girl!

"...So you really did show up here," she said, her voice wary.  Still, this was better than last time.  She hadn't attacked yet.

"I did, I wanted to try talking to you in a place that would show I was serious," Elizabeth said. "My other self told me what she had done to you and I want to apologize."

She approached Elizabeth.

"So why should I trust you?" she asked.

"I'm not looking for trust at this point. I'm just looking to talk," Elizabeth said.

"...all right," she said.  "But you'd better have a good story."

"I don't have any of her memories," Elizabeth said. "What ever happened has left her as something occupying part of my mind, but not a part of me."

"...Interesting, but you're still a demon," she said.  "Trusting you doesn't come naturally, you know."

"I mean, yes, technically," Elizabeth said. "But how many would be willing to meet you on hallowed ground?"

"Meaning what, exactly?" she asked.

"Uhhh...that I can't use any of my powers," Elizabeth said.

She advanced on Elizabeth.

"...I still have mine," she observed, lashing her tail.  "So... you're helpless right now?  You couldn't stop me if I attacked you?"

"No, but there's no need for that, this was to be a show of good faith," Elizabeth said.

She kept coming... and stopped, perhaps two inches from Elizabeth.

"...it's really true," she said.  "You made yourself vulnerable like this.  Trusting me to not hurt you.  Wow."

"I-I was hoping that it would show you I was serious," Elizabeth said.

"...Okay, it did," she said.  She hadn't moved back.  "Did not expect that out of you.  Kinda trying to process this."

"I want to try and heal the damage, her, I mean I did," Elizabeth said.

She looked Elizabeth over.

"Seriously?" she said.  "You still look like a demon, you know.  That's going to make it very hard on you."
