Yeah, unfortunately you can't split an elder, else we wouldn't have to fight over who gets the goods.

Anyway, this bitch is probably pulling a Daddy Malkav and the tree's sticking its hand up the ass of her soul to sock puppet it. Or it's like when a serial killer wears some dude's skin. Your choice. Because if there's one thing I know about Daddy, it's that he comes up with a new excuse every week for why he wants to eat all of us.
