Emet-Selch, you owe me no explanations. Especially not when it comes to your relationship with Five.

Don't I?

I don't wish to hide things from you.

I will not stop you from telling me whatever you wish, but you do not have to.

You aught do demand it. It is your right for all that we have lived through together. And that aside, for the friendship we have.

Did Lahabrea demand it?

[The disgruntled look he gives is a sure 'no' to that question.]

I demanded he stay with me. You can thank him for the room upgrade.

'Tis fortunate indeed that the two of you were placed together, at least.

[Pretend these were all white haired icons.]

Do you feel left out because of it?

...A little.

Should we both come over then once every few days?

You should, as a matter of fact.

[He gives a bow.]

That's more like it.

[He takes his hand again as he starts to walk through the streets.]

Do you remember Amaurot? Any detail, even small, the two of us might have missed? Lahabrea's insight greatly increased the realism of this place. Remembers features where no existed.

[shakes his head]

I have some memories from that time, but I'm afraid details of the city itself elude me.

No matter. We will make new memories to go with the old. Something which I neglected earlier.

What is it they say? Better late than never?

But is that how you feel?

[pauses before answering]

I am still acclimating to the idea, at least when it comes to myself.

Take the time that you need. I do not wish to rush you.

[He still holds on to his hand perhaps a little too tightly as he begins escorting him around the city.]

I'd ask how you were but if you had a run in with Lahabrea, I imagine you tire of the question.

You are correct. He was very insistent on hearing all about my feelings and giving me support.

He worries for you as you worry for him.

But since is not here, we can gossip about him. How do you think he is faring?

Far better than he was before dying, of course. That barely even needs to be said.

I do think his concern for us and his other loved ones is a significant source of stress, though. He has become far more of a worrier than I remember him being, but I suppose he never does anything in half measures.

You are aware of his corruption, correct?

...Do you mean the one on his chest?

No. The one that makes him twitch if you put a row of pencils out of place.

He has not seen fit to inform me of that, no.
