WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVATE CHANNEL, ERIDANUS SUNGAZER.
FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION, USE 099.23.886.00 *** Archmage has joined 099.23.886.00 <Archmage> Hello, this is Eridanus Sungazer. <Archmage> In the event I am currently unavailable, please leave a message. <Archmage> I will answer back, promptly. If I feel you are worth the trouble. | ||||
<CheeryCherry>
i mean, i don't think he knows.
i've been so so STUPID but i haven't said anything about that
<Archmage>
Aunamee is a manipulator. You give him an inch and he will take a mile.
He is a sick man.
[A sigh. Steadying his nerves.]
If he doesn't know where you live, that's good. It can change though, so you must be careful.
The next time he contacts you, do not even answer him.
Do you understand?
<CheeryCherry>
Riley's scared. But, more than Aunamee, she's scared of herself. ]
yes
yes, i understand.
i'm sorry. i thought if i apologized
i don't know what i thought.
<Archmage>
Aunamee is the type of man who only values himself.
Apologies do not matter to him.
All that matters is what he can get out of you.
So whatever you have shown him, do not show him any more.
He will only use it against you.
You were scared, my dear girl. I do not fault you for this. You did not know.
But that is why I am here. I will protect you, even with my life if I have to.
I said it before and I will say it again.
I will not let him harm a single feather on your head.
<CheeryCherry>
but i don't want you getting hurt. especially not for me.
<Archmage>
I have lived through six wars, and I am still standing, unbroken.
A man like Aunamee does not scare me.
He may kill me, and he has, but I will only rise from the grave with a thirst for his blood in my mouth.
[Suffice to say, don't worry about it, Riley.]
I appreciate your concern, my dear.
But am far deadlier here than I was in our false life.
<CheeryCherry>
She doesn't say what she's thinking, that he's probably deadlier here too. ]
are you going to look for him?
<Archmage>
[And unfortunately for Riley's anxiety, a death threat isn't.
Aunamee can say many things, but he isn't a danger until he makes a move.]
Remember what I told you, Riley?
That if he comes for you, you fly away as fast as you can.
Aunamee cannot follow you to the skies, and fleeing is your safest option.
Only then will I track him down and pluck his skeleton apart.
A wretch like him deserves to have his bones buried at every corner of Ryslig.
Unable to die, unable to live.
<CheeryCherry>
okay
i'll stay far away from him
and you won't put yourself in unnecessary danger, okay?
i know you can take care of yourself, i do but
please. for me.
<Archmage>
I will, my dear. You have nothing to fear.
But perhaps it would not be a bad idea to teach you better self defense as well.
<CheeryCherry>
i know a little but
i don't want to hurt anyone else again
<Archmage>
It is not employed unless there is a danger to you.
If you do not wish to learn it, I understand.
I simply worry for you.
<CheeryCherry>
iโll think about it?
i donโt mean to make you worry.
<Archmage>
I am ready and willing to both acquire a sword, and train you in dueling.
And I will always worry about you, Sunshine. You are my daughter.
<CheeryCherry>
[ Just let the other memories take over. Let herself be comforted after a horrible experience, something she hasn't felt before. ]
<Archmage>
More than you know.
