Comments

[thefinalcurtain]

Ha! Perhaps.

[ he takes the hand. ]

Nocturne, or Astraeus, are among the names I've been given. It is a pleasure.

[deicider]

[Starts walking,]

Is that Astraeus with two stars or just one?

[thefinalcurtain]

I confess I struggle to pronounce the stars. Is it a skill?

[deicider]

More of an attitude. What do you think of your unit so far?

[thefinalcurtain]

[ he tips his head in thought before he answers: ]

Eccentric, perhaps. But they welcomed me very warmly.

[deicider]

Good to hear.

I've been around awhile so if you have any questions, let me know.

[thefinalcurtain]

How long, precisely? If you do not mind me asking.

[deicider]

Since the start. 426 days.

[thefinalcurtain]

My. A time that has seemed long, or short?

[deicider]

A lifetime.

[thefinalcurtain]

I have heard that this place can be ... eventful.

[deicider]

It's a mixed bag. I'm glad I came, but that's a minority attitude.

[thefinalcurtain]

I assume it's not considered pleasant by most.

[deicider]

No. But important things are rarely pleasant.

[thefinalcurtain]

Everything comes at a cost, hm?

... Though the saying seems to hold less import without my own memories to back it up.

[deicider]

Maybe, but I'd recommend you start philosophizing about it now, so you'll be prepared for the future.

[thefinalcurtain]

I have heard word that these "games" we are to play can be quite unpleassant.

[deicider]

They are. Are you frightened?

[thefinalcurtain]

I worry that I may be a bit soft-hearted for such a task...

[deicider]

[Cardinal nods.]

There's no shame in being soft-hearted. Only half-hearted.

[thefinalcurtain]

[ a smile! he seems comforted by that. ]

Oh, if nothing else, I do not intend to be half-hearted about any decision I am to make.

[deicider]

How heartening.

[thefinalcurtain]

A noble creed indeed. I suppose we will see if I can actually fulfill that.

[deicider]

Don't lose heart.

For the Theatre, we can take the train or I can drive you on my motorcycle. Which do you prefer?

[thefinalcurtain]

[ a blink -- and then a short little laugh ]

Now, when compared to a motorcycle taking the train seems almost ... pedestrian. I would be delighted to take you up on that offer, if you do not mind?
