Well, my dear, isn't this all rather lovely? I'm not certain if my [ ... ] 'entertaining' is quite up to the task, but it seems that we both have a challenge.

It will be interesting to see who's up to the task, hmm?

[lifespan]

A challenge, John? She seems to be up to the task. You shouldn't doubt.

[traicio]

Is that a fact? Then I'm in good company.

[lifespan]

That is indeed a fact. Confidence breeds confidence, my friend.

[traicio]

Then let us hope she can reign it better than Nikola ever did.

[lifespan]

We both know that Nikola is a poor example for anything.

[traicio]

And there should provide hope.

[lifespan]

I am plenty hopeful, John.

[smelledapples]

People always have the potential to surprise.

[traicio]

And surprise they do. We're not a book.

[smelledapples]

I'd say yours would be a bit too dark if it was.

[traicio]

There have been ones before. [ At least on what was known, or guessed. The books never had the whole truth about him ]

[smelledapples]

I know. I was almost tempted to write one myself. [ But alas, she'd run out of time.]

[traicio]

And yet you didn't. I could only guess at a reason.

If you don't mind a terribly late response?

[lifewithoutrest]

Entertaining. Is that what you're calling it now, John?

[traicio]

Helen. I can't think what else you'd call what she asks.

[lifewithoutrest]

If she allows you to return to old habits, I imagine it will be. To her. It seems many of them appreciate our darker aspects.

[traicio]

Allows me? My dear, she's not the one with the fight.

But it would seem that she has other intentions.

[lifewithoutrest]

And your intentions, John?

[traicio]

I have no wish to see any more destruction.

[lastrat]

Never fails to be interesting, at least.

[traicio]

Then perhaps her request is a simple one.

[lastrat]

Is it?

[traicio]

If she is interested then my service is done. [ Or his task is a success, anyway ]

[lastrat]

Ah. Planning on washing your hands of it, then?

[traicio]

If I am of no need then I should have no reason to remain.
