Let it be known that I am everything but the Tyrant history seems to paint me as.

Still haven't finished what you started... or am I wrong?

It's kind of hard to tell from rhetoric, "my lord."

[heroisms]

Disappearing for months at a time seems to put a damper on one's plans, would you not agree?

[nummeh_souls]

Would you be surprised if I did?

[heroisms]

No -- that's rhetoric.

How have you been?

[nummeh_souls]

I know. But two weeks can't top a few months anyway.

Mm... Everything is coming up roses. The usual.

[heroisms]

You sound distressed.

[nummeh_souls]

Nothing gets past you, huh?

That's what I get for sarcasm and being stuck in "Sheol."

[heroisms]

My mind is a steel bear-trap. Or so they say.

And you're dodging.

[nummeh_souls]

I'll believe that...

Ah, force of habit. [He hums thoughtfully] Let's just say that I'm paying back my time off from this hell in full.

One attack on my important partner, and one death that I couldn't even afford included.

[heroisms]

I'm sure we'll all be back to the status quo soon enough.

[nummeh_souls]

Finally, some good news.

...But you never said how long that would take.

[heroisms]

That is entirely dependent on how far you're willing to go, now, isn't it?

[nummeh_souls]

Oi, oi. Nothing too unsavory.

[heroisms]

Then all I'm looking for are supplies.

[nummeh_souls]

[Laughs] How convenient that you caught me while I'm out like this.

[heroisms]

Oh, is it? I wouldn't know.

Care for company? I need to stretch the old muscles.
