I've never seen this curse last multiple days. Does it have something to do with the traditional Samhain festivals? Those covered two days--the days that marked the changing of the year. From October 31st to November 1st, the world was believed to shift from a light time of year to a darker and, during that shift, the boundaries between the

You look vaguely familiar.

[legalxassassin]

Then you realize that the sight of me is important.

PRIVATE

[absinthe_eyed]

No, I don't.

Why is this important?

PRIVATE

[legalxassassin]

I don't suffer fools gladly. Listen and do as I say, no harm will come to you. I don't know why I am here, but I am. So are you. And so is Shilo.

Keep her safe. At all costs. Even if affection is fleeting, life is brief you are now obligated to watch out for her.

And don't tell her that we spoke. Is this clear?

PRIVATE

[absinthe_eyed]

I can watch out for her with or without an obligation and threats.

You're her father, aren't you?

PRIVATE

[legalxassassin]

Then consider it an additional incentive.

I am. I was. I don't know what death makes me now. It doesn't matter. I love my daughter.

PRIVATE

[absinthe_eyed]

I will, however unnecessary it is.

You're still her father. You should talk to her while you're here.

PRIVATE

[legalxassassin]

Good. May there be consequences if you should not.

I can't. She's happy. This is what she wants.

PRIVATE

[absinthe_eyed]

Do you know that this is what she wants? She talks about you. She misses you, sometimes.

There's a chance to say anything that wasn't said before.

PRIVATE

[legalxassassin]

Sometimes. Heh.

I love her. And I'm sorry. What else can words express? Do not tell her we spoke. I was never here. It would be better.

PRIVATE

[absinthe_eyed]

It would be more correct to say that she misses who you sometimes were.

I won't tell her, but I think you should.

PRIVATE

[legalxassassin]

Thank you.

That's enough.
