Do not partake of the bathtub moonshine.

Between them and the arson-happy teenager, I doubt I'll have a home remaining by the morrow

[zodiheart]

Whatever damage is done, I shall repair it. Even should your house be burned to the ground. Of course, that will take far longer to fix.

New houses take some time to build, after all.

[fatedfinality]

Oh, no need. I'll get to the repairs myself eventually
I appreciate the offer though

for now, I'll enjoy my new skylight and bathe in the river if I must

[zodiheart]

You say this, yet I may do so regardless.

I tend to be a man who keeps my word.

Such as the offer of company when you have need or desire.

[fatedfinality]

[ And what is a man if not his word, hm? ]

I won't stop you, mind, just know I'm not expecting anything
Not that I doubt you exactly, just better to not hope for too much with most people I've learned

[zodiheart]

Then it shall be left to me to make repairs despite your expectations. Consider them done prior to two days hence.

An unfortunate lesson no doubt bitterly learned. You deserve better.

[Ardyn doesn't know that Elidibus knows the full story, and he does not share that information yet. Still, he believes what he says.]

[fatedfinality]

[ He doesn't. He suspects that Elidibus knows... some things about him, at least, to make that sort of remark.

The rest of it just sounds like pity though, which he also doesn't deserve. Or need. ]

I don't think many would agree with you on that
But you aren't, as I'm learning, like many
So I'm sure that's fine by you regardless

[zodiheart]

[It isn't pity, not that he knows of the need to communicate that.]

I am indeed unlike most. It is part of my charm, I am told.

You are correct. Another's opinion will not sway my own.

[fatedfinality]

I can see why

But even if they don't, it's still possible that I will
And I trust you to keep your word about what that means

[zodiheart]

I always keep my word.

Though, not always in the way others may first expect.
