[ oh sweet ylfa. when he hears her speak up, he pauses the gentle sweet tones of josh groban, and opens his eyes - then gives her a gentle smile. he does look much better than before, at least? ]
Hi - I'm alright, all things considered. Just a stressful day. [ ok ] Thank you for checking in, though.
[well, she'll just make herself at home and come over and sit down.]
I was surprised. You're always agreeing with Rang Lee when he talks about wanting everyone to start killing. I thought maybe...you felt the same way, but you were too smart to say it directly. Is that not right?
[ ah. he smiles a little, at that - lifting his legs up and out of the way so she can come and settle down. ]
I've spent a lot of time around people like Rang Lee. [ well, in as much as People, because no one he knows has magic powers. or carries around an axe. ] Whether he means it or is just blowing hot air, I'd prefer for him to see me the way you described.
[ that might be harder now but he'll bs his way out of it. it's fine. ] Most people do, after all.
[ but that comes with the obvious - that maybe he's not like that at all. ]
Not all people. Just some. People like that, in particular.
[ an important distinction. ] It's much easier to learn their tricks when you walk in step with them; if I intend to knock them off of their pedestals, then I'll do so from the place they least expect it.
[ with a little laugh. ] I’m not going to kill anyone.
[ local man barfs at blood ]
And I think I’ll need to observe him a little more to really understand him, too. [ fei du smiles a little at that, a bit of mischief flickering across his face. ]
Now, Ylfa. You’re holding onto quite a big secret of mine… I hope you’ll guard it for me?
Exactly. [ there's a flicker of amusement that goes across his face at that - pleased. terrible. ] It's like you said - you can't tell if he'll do it or not. I'm sure we can find a way to sway him not to. It might just take a little training.
[ don't joke like that. anyway.
when she crosses her heart, he leans forward a bit, and offers her his pinky. give paw. ] Let's shake on it.

[anyway...secrets.]
Of course. Cross my heart, hope to die.
