Well?

You're here because you have something to say, so... out with it.

Comments

You know, sometimes I feel bad for *her*. She's so simple and in over her head.

[priscilla]

I guess that could happen after... however long.

[...and whatever species.]

Maybe that should be a goal of mine. Making you laugh. ...I'm not sure how to do that, though.

[silverking]

I have a feeling attempting to dissuade you would be fruitless.

[priscilla]

Probably. Do you dislike laughing or something?

I wonder what would work.

...well, at least you have a sense of humor! That's something to work with.

[silverking]

I don't dislike it, no.

[priscilla]

That doesn't really mean you like it either.

You see? Mysterious.

[silverking]

Precious little genuinely amuses me, Priscilla.

That isn't to say that nothing can, or that nothing does, or that I dislike it when it happens, which is rare.

It is simply... what it is. And that's all that it is.

Nothing mysterious about that.

[priscilla]

Hm.

Were you always that way? Or is it... time?

[silverking]

Nothing remains the same forever.

[priscilla]

That's true.

I wonder what you were like, then.

...I met Luciela in her warrior form once. Before you came here, when... people changed. Became younger. She still had her hair in those bunches.

I guess I couldn't resist, but it was probably a bad idea. After she went back to normal, she started bothering me more.

[silverking]

[ Somehow he maintains an even composure. ]

...I would like you to keep your distance from her. And refrain from doing anything so reckless ever again.

[ A pause. ]

Although, I'm disturbingly aware that this request is more than likely wasted upon you...

[priscilla]

Well! She wasn't really dangerous to me at that time, but... I guess she thought I was dangerous, after that.

[Her and everyone else. Priscilla is pouting a little. She can't quite help it.]

Anyway. I'll do what I need to do. But I wouldn't say I'm looking to chat with her regularly.

...although she did come to my party. We talked for a while there, too. She told me a little about Awakening.

[silverking]

...Did she? And what did she have to say about it?

[priscilla]

...she said it was freeing.

[...]

And then she told me my world was hazy and complicated.

And little.
