You can save your gratitude. They won't need it.

Good evening, Earl.

[1000year_earl]

Such unkind words, Allen Walker. Every good deed deserves some manner of thanks.

Have you reconsidered my offer? ♥

[a long silence.]

[politest]

My answer stands.

[1000year_earl]

Such a troublesome boy. But I wonder what lengths you will go to to hold onto that belief. ♥ You truly don't see what is right before your eyes.

[politest]

What's before my eyes are the people who need my help. And I will. There's nothing else I need to see. You've never made offers worth trusting before.

[He laughs. It would be a jolly sound had it any mirth to it.]

You can't hide anymore, but you are welcome to try. You continue to try to bury your true nature. ♥

[politest]

People do bury the dead.

[1000year_earl]

This offer I give to you has nothing to do with the dead, Allen Walker, but rather the living. ♥

[Or close enough.]

Or do you not recall our last words? ♥

[politest]

I remember. But he should have nothing to do with the living.

[Curious and curious, but such inquiries were meant to be had face to face. Not over a network for all to hear.]

That bargain has come and gone and been buried by the years. It is not the one to which I speak. ♥

[politest]

Not the Fourteenth?

[1000year_earl]

Have you spoken with him? ♥ Do you understand what that man truly wants?

Do I-

I'm not a messenger for your family quarrels.

[1000year_earl]

A bit too late for that, Allen Walker. You can not simply wish away what you are. What you have become. ♥
