...Bu's okay without us there, right? I mean, we didn't exactly get a choice in leaving her, it just happened, you know? I just...hope she doesn't think we abandoned her, especially in that state...

...I don't even know how we got here in the first place, I'm worried- one minute we're with Butler and Sir Billiam, and then next thing we know, we're here- and everyone's roles are swapped: Billiam's the butler, Bu is Lord of the Mansion, Hubert works downstairs, Roxanne works upstairs, and I get the feeling that this timeline's Egg is more...malevolent in nature than the one we know.

Dot, be careful with this one, please- I'm not sure this Egg in particular is as...tolerant as the one we know, regarding your attempts to romance it. Please, please be careful!

...we can't usually talk to more than one person, it's strange. Nice, but strange- wait...wait a minute...they-they can't hear this right?-

[Roxanne and Billiam tune you out once they realize you are not talking to them. They've learned not to eavesdrop; it usually doesn't lead to anything good.]

[But Lord, Lord listens. Lord's ear twitches despite you being inside and not out there, and Lord's eyes narrow, the black scales surrounding them taking on a misty quality and drifting over the color. Her vision turns black, tendrils of a thing and a realm she's a drop of blood away from controlling consuming it all. She and another stares into your void, and knows that you are wrong.]

It's rude to talk about someone who's listening.
