There was, and shadows chasing us. [...] Thank you for acting as you did with Molly. I wouldn't begrudge you feeling discomfort with him, but he is gentle and he struggled with this.
Mm. I never minded him, and the consequences are impermanent.
[except, like, the trauma of suffering and dying, but.
after a slight pause:]
...I thought that I might feel similarly, had I been forced into it, and I could hardly claim that I was any better. Had he not killed me-- I thought of killing another myself, that week, after learning of the true situation with Aquila.

...well. Mayhap we shall cross paths if I am ever able to come, particularly if the terms of his employment bargain are fulfilled. He is unable to interact normally with the living of his world without the physical presence it promised-- his duty is within the domain of the dead.

He is a great annoyance, of which I am sure I shall never rid myself.

But- yes. He is. And he has a duty within his own home that he must fulfill, just as I do in mine.
