[Do you see why we don't tell you things buddy.]

Would you like to speak with me on the topic, or wait until Alexander has recovered to speak with him? Either way I an sure the other of us will be available for any followup you have.

[ur one to talk mr healthy coping through genocide and brainwashing

Levity regards him for a few long moments, thinking on the offer.]

...I wonder. Ideally, I would want to speak with you both. Even if you were to tell me right now, I still come to see Alexander every other day. He would obviously notice that I'm affected by this, and that would just force him into a conversation on the topic when he's not yet ready. So I would prefer to wait, I believe. Like I said, I have support from other sources, so I am not in danger of crumbling anytime soon.

[It's not like they tried that fist.]

Then I will trust your judgment on your personal state. Though if there is aught I can do, do let me know.

[Smiles!]

I will, don't worry. Mainly... right now I would ask you to look after Lily when I am not here. She's very fragile... we are doing all we can for her, but love and support from her fathers would go a long way to help her too, I believe.

Of course.

[He takes a sip of tea, looking away at nothing thoughtfully.]

I am glad you have built up such a network of support, truly. Both for yourself and those you look after.

[And now he's going to steal a scone.]

I am glad, too.

[He chuckles.]

Alexander asked me the other day if there is a unit I do not have friends on, and called me a troublemaker when I said there isn't.

Well. That is certainly what you have always been. A troublemaker. And a man prone to making friends.

Well, I do have to wonder what's so troublesome about me making friends! It's not exactly as though people I know really have anything bad to say about you two.

[Like there's also Absinthe but. Disliking Absinthe is street legal.]

Would it matter if they did? I hardly see that as relevant.

[He hums.]

Well, that's true enough. Jason hates Absinthe quite cordially, but that doesn't stop me from being good friends with both. But Alexander did say there is one person who he would feel unhappy about being friends with me, but he didn't say who it might be.

Hm. And if you know who they were, what would you do?

His concern was that I would run off to talk to them, but... I would first like to know why he's wary of them.

A rather difficult question to answer.

Perhaps one might say they are... repulsive? Certainly on the surface a pleasant enough individual I'm sure. But if you look past the personality, a bit deeper, one can only see horror.

[That clears things up right.]

[s.....quints...................... sir??]

...You do realize that is what a good number of people would say about Absinthe as well?

And yet I do not find him so in the least. Nor, I think, do you.

And I care not what many people would say or think. I judge with my own eyes and experiences.

Is that not how you, also, approach things?

Indeed. I simply meant that the description you gave is quite subjective and doesn't give me much to go on until I do meet them myself.

I doubt you would find them remotely unpleasant.

[He just shrugs and sips his tea.]

[Well, fortunately (unfortunately?) something about the wording still bugs Levity. He leans forward, resting his chin in his hand, staring at Cosmo wordlessly for quiiiiiiite a long time.]

Hmmmmm.

Yes, Hythlodaeus?

[He is composed under that stare, though his arched eyebrows can't be seen beneath his mask.]

[He smiles, suddenly.]

Actually, I think you did give me enough to go on. I've still no idea who it is, of course, nor do I think I would be able to tell under... normal circumstances.

Define normal.

[He smiles just a little, like he's almost, pleased?]

Perhaps I should say "normal for this place" instead. Rather than normal for our world.

Indeed. That would be accurate.

[Tea. Sip.]

[He breathes out quietly.]

Then, indeed, perhaps I should put off meeting them until I am in a more stable emotional state. It's not as though I don't have enough to deal with already.

You may determine what is best for you of course. But taking things slowly for now seems a wise decision.
