That's not a very angelic thing to say. [ BUT THEY'RE RIGHT. ] I was kidnapped as an infant... And, to begin with, my mother was a maid at the estate.

[ So like... ]

[holyspirits]

I'm going old testament. [ no, gam. but also they are once again thinking THIS IS SO ROYAL COURT DRAMA to themselves as they cross their arms ] Did that lord arrange to kidnap you so you couldn't stake the claim in the first place? Since you were probably... "illegitimate".

[obdure]

It could be intended he wanted me dead, but the brigands thought they could make some coin selling me off or something. It's a common story.

[ To be sold into slavery, etc. ]

However it happened, I got off easy living in the slums for most of my years instead of being six feet under. Not that it matters...

[ Because he's dead. ]

[holyspirits]

It matters a little. Your circumstances are what brought you here. [ but; ] So you were abandoned instead of murdered as a baby. Really not making me regret saying that Lord of yours deserved it.

[obdure]

He did... [ He looks off to the side, to some specific spot. ] He was a cruel, heartless killer. We were glad to be rid of him.

An end to bloody sabbaths and a stop to the renaissance of the Dark Ages. May he rot in hell.

[holyspirits]

There's always people like that. Who deserve that kind of fate.

[ for someone who is all about second chances gam also seem to hold grudges. they shake their head ]

I'd say the sword is pretty good, as far as these trinket gifts go.

[obdure]

[ There's a pause... ]

It is. [ Anyway, ] That again isn't very angelic to say.

[holyspirits]

I wasn't born an angel. [ lightly ] Just because I think some people deserve a way to earn a second chance or redemption doesn't mean I think everyone can earn one.

[obdure]

I still find it hard to believe that this is random. Wouldn't it be better to evaluate who deserves the opportunity?

[holyspirits]

Why? Is there anyone here that you think is completely irredeemable?

[obdure]

There could be. You never know. It's not like the chances are zero.

[ he's thinking about himself, actually. ]

[holyspirits]

I know that. I was just asking for your opinion. [ lightly ]

[obdure]

[ without a beat. ]

Adolphe.

[ Pretends to be a hater. ]

[holyspirits]

Oh, yeah? What about him makes you think that?

[ taking it in stride. his hater era. ]

[obdure]

He almost cut off my hand.

[ He is never letting this go. ]

Then never apologized.

[holyspirits]

That... Okay, that does sound pretty bad. [ why are you people so violent etc ] Why was he trying to cut off your hand?

[obdure]

... He was surprised when I yanked his ankle after he stepped on my head. I was under the flood of... Burgers.

[ so like yeah that is obviously a mistake but also why is the reaction to ATTACK ]

Importantly, he has not apologized.

[holyspirits]

[ coughing to hide a laugh at the floor of...burgers ]

So you scared him, he thought the burgers were attacking him so he attacked back, and he didn't say sorry. [ repeating. The Events ] And that makes him irredeemable?

[obdure]

[ Comically, though not seriously. ]

It is rather extreme.

[ of Adolphe. Not him. ]

[holyspirits]

That's true. Some people are really paranoid.

[ which of them, ]

[obdure]

[ it would be too telling to ask for one of the empty rooms later, would it. ]

This sounds backhanded.

[holyspirits]

Does it? I think that's you being paranoid.

[ they are not even trying to hide that they are teasing ]

[obdure]

You're having fun again.

[ LIKE TAHT ISN'T ALLOWED? Jacopo. You're not the police. ]

[holyspirits]

You make it too easy sometimes.

[ they don't even deny it, ]
