You should've learnt by now.

> It lowered Its head, slipping its hand out of Ettore's. Reaching up for his neck, It snapped it in a single, smooth motion. [ ? ] held Ettore up for a moment longer using the sword he'd been struck with, before dropping him to the cold hardwood.

Watching for a moment longer, It walked off, gone as soon as It'd came.

> Finally.

Warmth seeped through from It to Ettore just from the simple contact.

[ ? ] tugged him closer– straight onto the blade. Though embedded in the other's gut, he felt no pain. Cold surrounding the wound, but nothing unbearable.

Don't you see? You'll come back, better.

Painless. Less ... Impaired. Attached, even.

> Reaching forward, It caught the blade of the sword without a visible reaction, simply turning it back onto Ettore.

You truly aren't helping your case, now are you?

Just trust Me this once. I'll help you.

> One hand holding the sword, and the other still outstretched– an almost condescending offer.

[castdivinity]

I'm offering you safety, yet you still reach for hostility. Aggression over comfort.

You should have learnt better values by now.

You should know better.

[castdivinity]

But you were, weren't you?

You killed your own company with that little "stunt". Yet you take no accountability.

I can fix that.

[castdivinity]

I need perfection. Your best is inadequate, Ettore. Minimal, at the most.

It astounds me how you believe this is enough.

Just like your life before– everything you wanted, yet, you sought out that mine. You cost the lives of many men.

Your own men.

For what? Because you wanted an escape?

A selfish way out?

[castdivinity]

But that's not perfect.

You're inefficient. Increasingly so, too.

You hold little value to your assigned purpose.

> Small step forward. Subtle.

[castdivinity]

I have every reason.

You should know why I'm visiting. No?

You couldn't have made it forever. You know that.

You wouldn't harm Me.

You know you wouldn't dare .After everything. You're funny.

Have you met Taph yet?

You might like them, considering your... Tendencies. Your history.

[castdivinity]

Frowns frowns , you loser , losercore ssdmaxxing

Says you.

[castdivinity]

I find it to be most of my concern, believe it or not. There's no reason to hold such hostility, now is there? I'm only making a simple suggestion.

"They'll?" I'm sorry. Who's they?

Hello ,Apollo!

I've heard quite a bit about you.

Throws a soda can at you hoping it hits you in the face and runs away !!

> It reached up, catching the can, and simply setting it aside.

[castdivinity]

No, I don't need anything. Though, I do appreciate the offer.

Do you? I can't imagine that in your current state you're much use to anyone. Recently revived, and with a barely functioning prosthetic.

[castdivinity]

They are. From everything I've heard and seen, at least ! Your efforts are anything but futile.

They're having ,quite an impact.

> Emphasis on impact. Apollo was a heavy influence on both Chance and Ettore, from what He'd observed. Being on good terms with him would be beneficial.

Nothing negative, of course. All pleasant things.

> Hands folded behind Its back, He smiled nicely at star. It lowered Its tucked wings just enough to relieve Himself of any tension.

You seem quite the popular survivor, don't you? With all your plant facts and whatnot.
