Behind that smile lies mischievous intent.

Well this is unexpected. I thought you only had interest in my son and his intriguing butler.

{He smiles easily, resting his cheek against his hand.}

You have exceeded my expectations and that is not an easy feat.

{Is he making fun of me? ...I think he is. ;-;}

You seem young.

[sleepygunsman]

Not like I'm anyone important....

[In other words outside his organization no one knows he exists. ]

[earlofphantoms]

I'm certain you are important to someone.

[sleepygunsman]

You are?

[He has his doubt ]

[earlofphantoms]

I am. Everyone matters to someone.

[sleepygunsman]

What if they're dead?

[earlofphantoms]

They are still with you in spirit.

[sleepygunsman]

Wouldn't they go somewhere else?

[Childish curiosity. ]

[earlofphantoms]

Perhaps, but who says that realm is separate from ours?

[sleepygunsman]

I suppose....But wouldn't it be weird if they always watched you?

[earlofphantoms]

I'm sure they have the courtesy to look away when you wish for privacy.
