Nevermore Tasks 039

[hisbutler_bound]

My name is Black and I am simply who I am even with newfound memories. I have waited so long for you young master in a hope, no, a feeling that you would come and still you have not. If you should ever catch this, I leave you this. I, as Black, not Sebastian, will venture forward without you. Residents of Edensphere, survivors of this great

Do I take it you're returning back from whence you came?

[hisbutler_bound]

Even though others seem to be, that is not my intention.

[esoteric_rose]

Then what will you do?

[hisbutler_bound]

Stay here for now in the Wilderness. Maybe if I gain the materials [Because he doesn't know his shop will reappear] restart the restaurant. People have to eat.

Though I may explore given the circimstances.

[esoteric_rose]

A sensible plan. But if you do go exploring, stay safe for goodness' sake.

[hisbutler_bound]

For goodness sake, hm? Now that doesn't sound very fun.

[esoteric_rose]

Let me put it another way-do anything stupid, and I will track you down, drag you back here, tie you to a post, and watch you like I'm Argus to ensure you don't proceed in that direction.

[hisbutler_bound]

Like a rabid dog. How ghastly. What makes you think I'll do something stupid, Juliet?

[esoteric_rose]

Oh, nothing, nothing at all. Except that you've been stupid in the past, so in this time of uncertainty, I must watch you ever closer.

[hisbutler_bound]

Never going to let me live down that magnet incident, are you? And the fall from the building was an accident.

[esoteric_rose]

May I also remind you that you went back to the Tree to look at a hurricane. And that you refused to eat while recovering from that building fall until I made you. Believe what you want about yourself, but you're just as prone to folly as the rest, and with the Tree in this state? Nothing we can exactly afford.

[hisbutler_bound]

[Oh, touche. There is a definitely pause there] I had never seen a hurricane before, so I'll admit it was worth the risk. It was most fascinating to watch. One never gains anything without risking something. I'd call it curiousity. I'm going to survive either way.

[esoteric_rose]

You can survive without getting injured, though. If I see so much as a scratch...

[hisbutler_bound]

I can. After all, I am capable of such things. But as you wish, lest I be dragged back and stalked for ages. You have to sleep sometime.

[esoteric_rose]

Sleep can be delayed.

[hisbutler_bound]

It would be amusing to see how long.
