[Zagreus nods a little, but it's clear he doesn't understand. He's had no formal schooling in his life. His smile is sheepish and awkward]

Sorry. I think this is why I haven't had permanent placement yet; I barely understand any of what it must have been like for you there.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I don't believe I'm in dire need of therapy for my early school years, so don't discount yourself there.

[ he sounds amused, even if he isn't exactly sure how to get a handle on this person. hm. ]

[hugdadandwin]

Oh, good. Because I don't know how qualified I am to give it.

I am qualified to go to battle for you, though, sir. I want you to be able to rely on me to protect you if you feel in danger. Even when we're unpaired.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

[ that.... gets a moment of stunned silence ]

I-- see.


[ no, he's going to need another moment. ]

[hugdadandwin]

....Something wrong?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Just-- surprised.

I'm not exactly very popular here, you realise. For good reason.

[hugdadandwin]

I'm not really bothered by that. I'm not a very popular person where I come from, and I spend a...yes, lots of time with people who aren't very popular. Fallen kings, betrayers, murderers.

I don't mind. Really.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Then-- I'll keep that in mind if I ever get challenged to a duel of some kind.

[ his tone is a little dismissive, not entirely believing him but also not quite sure what good the offer will do. ]

But hopefully this month should pass quietly and you won't need to follow up on your offer.

[hugdadandwin]

I hope you know that wasn't only for this month.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Yes, you did say that, didn't you?

But let's get through this month first, shall we?

[hugdadandwin]

Heh! Yes. That sounds like a good idea.

[And Zagreus will probably continue showing his room to Elias and offering to learn card games with him!]
