This turn of events is most unpleasant. It is all very well and good to tell everyone to stay inside when they do, in fact, happen to have a place to stay. Such explosions may not be enough to actually seriously harm anyone, but I cannot say that it's particularly enjoyable. I believe that I am covered in a veritable layer of filth at this point

How long have you been back?

[grinninggrifter]

A little over a month now.

[proudambassador]

What, you have been hiding under stones? You left me with quite a mess, Mr. Grift. I did not need to know that much about human anatomy, no.

[grinninggrifter]

What on earth are you talking about?

[proudambassador]

Have you forgotten? You died. Very messily. I found you. I had not had dinner yet, so it was actually an unpleasant sight. Otherwise, perhaps the mess, it would not have mattered much, hm?

[grinninggrifter]

I did not leave you personally with a mess, Ambassador. I'm sure that you had the opportunity to simply walk away. I assure you, I remember it very well.

[proudambassador]

What, and then have people wondering why my footprints went to the scene and left? No. I would not be suspected for your death.

[grinninggrifter]

Everyone knows exactly why I died. Or do you have a hidden skill of manipulating the branches of the Tree that you haven't been telling people about?

[proudambassador]

Do you really think that everyone's thoughts, when confronted by blood and gore and another death, would go logical, to someone that cannot be confronted or touched, when there is an easy target nearby? No, Mr. Grift. I know how mobs go, and heightened emotions and panic.

[grinninggrifter]

Nobody in their right mind would peg you as someone powerful enough to kill someone such as myself, Ambassador. I have troubles believing that you truly thought that you would be framed as a murderer. Perhaps you simply wished to look upon my corpse.

[proudambassador]

Now you are powerful, hm?

Yes, yes. Now you know my true reason, it was to gloat.

[grinninggrifter]

Fairly so, I would say. It did take quite a lot to be rid of me, after all.

Ah, so the truth comes out. So glad to know that my death was mourned by the masses.

[proudambassador]

Mourned? The bar, it did not even get its name changed.

[grinninggrifter]

It's called sarcasm.

[proudambassador]

Oh, yes. To spare your feelings, hm? Those, I am not too concerned about.
