[axilium]

[magically appearing door (again). how convenient.

anyway.]

Ms. Tiger?

[axilium]

[okay so what does his rulebook say now.]

... You mean my reward for achieving my objective is just more work?

[themodsgrimm]

[She rolls her eyes as a coin appears in her palm. She tosses it his way--it has an emblem of a tiger on its face.]

Oh, you'd be doing work anyway, Vizier. Besides, it's not like you have to do anything if you don't want to.

[His new objective will appear in his rulebook on Monday morning. We'll let you know what it is before then!]

[axilium]

[ugh, work.

anyway, he catches the coin.]

... More coins? You know, I can't say I'm very inspired to make wishes considering their track record so far.

[themodsgrimm]

It's not like everyone got something bad.

[She shrugs.]

I think it's just feeling feisty and unappreciated. Try buttering it up first. It's a sucker for flattery.

[axilium]

... You want me to stand there talking to the well?

[themodsgrimm]

Can't hurt to try!

[axilium]

... I'm pretty sure that anything regarding the well can, in fact, hurt me!

[themodsgrimm]

Is there nothing you want badly enough to face the consequences? Come on, everyone has something.

[axilium]

[...]

Not anything within this dimension.

[in his own, however, is a different story.]

[themodsgrimm]

Who says you have to wish for something that would only apply to you here and now?

[She shrugs.]

You can't wish for something to change the past, but you could wish for something that may change your future.

[axilium]

... It's not my future I want to change.

And that's all the more reason I'm afraid of something backfiring.

[ultimately, he can take whatever happens to him. but elcia is another matter. as the one girl he's loved, even as he drove her to hate him for her own good, even though their lives aren't meant to intertwine again—he would sooner die than see harm befall her.]
