How would Ranni react to Jaune being able to touch her soul, since Aura is a manifestation then Jaune would be able to actually touch Ranni, not just her doll form. Ran into herself would be craving it as well since she would feel the warmth of his body, the calluses on his hands from using his sword and the very feel of his soul, his entire being laid bare for her

Ranni could not believe it.

She had felt the power of many before she took the body of a doll.

She had felt the power of the moon, so serene and calm, yet large and vast as the stars above. She had felt the power of the Golden Order, so bright and warm, but also suffocating and strict.

She had felt the conflict in her shade's being, the conflict of being a servant of the two fingers and serving her and her plans.

But this tarnished... His soul was unlike anything that she had felt before. It was as bright and warm as the Golden Order, but not as binding. It was as vast and serene as the moon, yet so small.

Even stranger, he could touch her very being and make her feel as if she were not stuck in the body of a doll that possessed no sense of touch.

After so many years of this war... The touch of the Tarnished Knight, of Jaune Arc, was something she found herself cherishing greatly, much to her surprise.

After all, it had been so long since she had felt another's touch. So long since she felt warm hands take her own, or the warmth of another body.

And Jaune Arc touched her soul so much that she, a doll made of plastic and rope, had begun to feel once more...

Ranni meeting Saphron and her family in a dream. Just confused seeing a big moon and a big hat rigjt next to them.

Saphron didn't know what her dream was about, but she felt oddly at peace despite the giant moon in front of her and the woman sitting next to her, calm and composed, like a princess.

"Well met, Saphron Arc. 'Tis a pleasure, indeed, to make thine acquaintance," The woman spoke.

Saphron looked at the stranger with a raised brow. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I am called Ranni, Lunar Princess of the Carian Royal Family, and I have come to bear tidings of thy dear brother, Jaune Arc," Ranni told her.

Saphron's eyes widened. "Is he... Is my brother dead?"

Ranni shook her head. "Pray, be at ease," She replied. "Thy brother is in safe hands."

"Where is he? His friends said he didn't come back from Atlas, so where is he?" Saphron asked Ranni.

"I fear he now treads a realm far removed from the world thou dost call home," Ranni replied. "Yet, be not afraid. Should he still desire it, then when his charge hath been fulfilled, I shall grant him passage once more… That he may return unto thee and thy family."

Saphron's face morphed into confusion. "What task?" Saphron asked. "What is he doing for you that's so important?"

Ranni looked at Saphron, her two faces showing a troubled expression. "Thy brother now serveth as mine champion and seeketh the salvation of my world. Such is the duty he hath willingly embraced."

Saphron wanted to ask more, especially why Jaune had become this person's champion and why he agreed to save her world. However, she felt as if their time was running out, as if this dream could not last long.

Suddenly, Ranni spoke up.

"I must now bid thee farewell, Saphron Arc," Ranni told her. "Until fate doth weave our paths together once more… fare thee well."
