[nodding with a frown]

It would be nice if nobody was tricked into it.

[undread]

[ah...]

Well. It can't hurt to talk of it. The ones who claim not to be tempted are the ones who worry me.

[allomantic]

Because it's easy enough to lie, or for another reason?

[undread]

Easy enough to lie. Most of us are sure to find one of these a little tempting, even if it isn't worth the cost.

[allomantic]

...I won't lie and say it isn't tempting at all. But the fact that we're all being tempted makes me suspicious.

[undread]

That's the right attitude to have. I would love to have each and every one of these, and in the right circumstances, I'd spill blood to get it.

[let's just be honest!]

But really, there's little reason to trust any of this. And the people here have been so darling, I don't want to kill them.

[allomantic]

[pausing, a little surprised at how open that was. laudna is valid though.]

Yes. Many people have been strangely kind.

[undread]

Yes, I think so, too. And I don't want to bring any harm to people like that.

[allomantic]

I'm glad to hear it. Are you ready to leave this area, then?

[undread]

...I think so. Let's not dwell on any of this nonsense.

[allomantic]

Alright.

[up the steps they go!]
