[speaks slowly, like the words are being pulled from his lips one at a time]

He seems to have some issues with humanity to work out. I know a lot of that is mixed up with your brother, so every time I try to talk to him about it I just get a bunch of "you don't understand" responses. And since I can't even punch him in the face no matter how much I want to, I'm officially passing the matter over to you to deal with.

Ah . . . you mean his "humanity is shit and so am I" thing?

That's the one. I told him that he should talk it out with you and he said he couldn't. I get that there's a lot of messy history there, but...you'd be the one who could understand where he's coming from the most, probably.

C'mon, you really think I haven't already been trying? He doesn't listen to a word I say . . .

I did think you were probably already trying. But I didn't want to assume. I know things get busy here, too. It's...one of those things you'll regret not talking through before it's too late, you know? I mean. You do know.

[Styx has already died before, and that's the definition of "too late"

sighs]

...It's not my business anyways.

[ YEAH. HE'D KNOW, WOULDN'T HE? THANKS LETHE ]

This is the first time I've ever heard you refer to something as "not your business." Are you okay . . . ?

[YOU'RE WELCOME look he's alive again so it's fine just don't blow it]

Me? I'm fine. We've got a kitchen, we got a spa, no one's died in a few days. I'm all set.

I don't believe you. You turn your own emotions off all the time, apparently.

What? I do not! Fear resistance isn't turning emotions off. There isn't a skill that can do that as far as I know.

If the Wolf King burst through the wall right now would you have a normal reaction?

Sure? I can't exactly respond to a hypothetical scenario, but yelling and shooting him in the face is about as normal as it gets.

We're underground and he wouldn't fit in here so we'd probably only see his eye or something anyways.

S--

You have a gun??

Yeah?

[pulls a gun out of his inventory aka it appears out of thin air. it's just like, a white hand gun.]

. . . I don't know why I'm surprised, but I am.

I don't know what's surprising about it. I can pretty much use any kind of weapon, but this one seemed like the most useful so I got it back from Red first.

I know you like to act harmless, but you're secretly pretty dangerous . . .

[puts a finger to his lips]

Continue to keep it a secret, please. I've been kidnapped one too many times after people found out what I could do. I don't want to deal with that here.

Don't worry . . . I know this game pretty well. Your secrets're safe with me.

There are too many secrets going around this pasture, it's kind of amazing that any of them really stay secrets. But none of you are going back home with me, so at least there's that working on my favor.

Even if you told me a bunch of stuff right now I'd have no idea what any of it means, probably.

[snorts]

I like you too much to tell you half of my secrets, whether you know what they mean or not.

[ LETHE? ]

Should I be flattered?

If you want to be? A few of them are the whole "if I said anything about them I'd probably have to kill you or my world would be destroyed" kind of secrets. And god knows you have enough problems without any Transendentals coming after you on top of that. So feel free to be flattered that I'd prefer you alive and unharassed by otherwordly beings.

[ LETHE? HE'S SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!!!!!! ]

I--

Okay.
