... So she brought you to life?

[ he doesn't say create. he doesn't... think that is fair. laudna seems to have created herself well enough. ]

What happens when your goals are at cross purposes? What are you gonna do?

[undread]

[she frowns. that's a difficult subject.]

I'll have to find a way to stop her, then. Or my friends will.

[residentmerc]

You'll manage. [ he sounds more certain about that than anything else? ] Your friends wouldn't let her win.

[ because they were very intense about telling her to shut up about bullshit and so, clearly, ]

[undread]

No, they won't.

[she just isn't sure she will survive what they have to do to stop her.]

And you and your friends won't let him win, either.

[residentmerc]

Yeah. We don't have a choice there. What he wants mean the end of all things.

[undread]

What exactly is he trying to accomplish?

[residentmerc]

... The reunion.

[ he said that normally. completely. not at all like he was hypnotized into it or something. don't worry about it. but he blinks like nothing happened and; ]

I don't know for sure. He's said... a lot of things. But he's going to wipe all life on the planet for it, with only himself remaining. And... I think he wants me there, too.

[ this one is a little perturbed because he does not know. why. ]

[undread]

Maybe he's just trying to get to you. Acting like he wants you there so you'll try to stay away.

[residentmerc]

I'm coming to fight him no matter what. But... sometimes I think that's what he wants, too.

[undread]

Maybe he does want it. But perhaps only because he is not astute enough to conceive of you as the threat you are.

[she will just determinedly believe in him. they are very same hat, but she also sees in him something like orym - very quiet, a dedicated soldier, but both a surprising kindness and a firm resolve in him. best boy.]

[residentmerc]

[ thats gay. but it makes him smirk a little ]

Yeah. We've pushed him back every time. [ ... ] Thanks, Laudna.
