Oh... I am just admiring the sky.

[faithkept]

[Looking at it...]

Mm... It's rather nice, isn't it? All those stars. Picturesque.

[Heavenly, even.]

[rippled]

Yes. It's beautiful.

[ ... ]

You are returning to your sister, right?

[faithkept]

I am, yes.

[He's going to kill SO many people.]

Are you returning to your own home?

[rippled]

Oh... probably not. My situation is a little complicated back home.

[faithkept]

[The way there's a genuine blip of surprise every time he runs into someone who isn't going back home.]

Do you know where you'll be going instead, then?

[rippled]

Claude and Jing Yuan both said I could go with them.

[faithkept]

Ah... [A little, thoughtful nod.] Will you take either of them up on it?

[rippled]

I think so, unless they say never mind...

[faithkept]

If they did, I would have to have a stern talking with them.

[Lucas just benchpressing them both into hell.]

[rippled]

Oh, you do seem like you'd be a scary person to receive a proper lecture from.

[faithkept]

I wouldn't make a very good teacher if I couldn't lecture very sternly, after all.

[rippled]

I appreciate you using your powers for me.

[faithkept]

I'm certain anyone would, in this situation. It would be terribly rude to invite someone to your home only to turn them away at the door, after all - so I'm certain that they won't.

[rippled]

Well... you never know...

But I'm sure it will be fine...

[faithkept]

I would offer you my home as backup if they somehow fell through, but honestly, I can't recommend it in good faith to anyone... At least as it is now.

[He will fix it.]

[rippled]

[ he sure will fix it. ]

That is understandable. I feel like that is the case for many people.

[faithkept]

[HE SURE... WILL. AND THEN GO BACK TO HEAVEN FUCKING HELP!!!!!]

An alarming amount, certainly... At least those with safer worlds are able to offer a place to be.

[rippled]

Well, Claude is in the middle of a war, but I decided to just win it for him.

[faithkept]

[HELP THIS IS SO FUNNY.]

Oh, my. A valuable ally that he's found in you, then.

[rippled]

It is the least I can do as parent for his hospitality.

[faithkept]

[AS PARENT FOR HIS HOSPITALITY??]

I think you're going above and beyond, really, but I do understand the sentiment...

[rippled]

[ PAYMENT!!!!!!!!! ]

Well, it is also inconvenient to me if he loses it.

[faithkept]

True enough. It would be tragic to see him become a captive of another side in a war...

[HE WILL DIE.]

[rippled]

Exactly. So, I will make sure he stays safe and defeat his enemies, and he will just have to feed me.
