My skull is thick! I'm sure it'd be fine.

[ lmao! lol! ]

Huh. That mean anything to you, outside of this place? Forest and all?

[agleam]

Yeah, I don't like that answer at all.

[he nods, though, as he continues after taking in a breath.]

Pretty much everything about it meant something to me, yeah. That's why I'm guessing it was just to mess with me instead of some kind of clue about what happened to Alphinaud.

[headmt]

Well. For what it's worth, I'm glad you told me. And I'm sorry it happened. It isn't as if I'd relish the idea of being shoved in a grave and being shown a vision specifically to torment me and then have to lay it out to everyone nosy busybody who asked.

[agleam]

[...]

That feels very specific.

[headmt]

Well.

You ever heard of a spell called Zone of Truth?

[agleam]

Mm... I have, yeah.

[he'll just conveniently not specify where.]

[headmt]

A favorite of nosy busybodies everywhere, I take it?

[ god. ]

Wasn't the greatest experience of my life.

[agleam]

Yeah. It...

[a pause]

Well, I'm not sure if it was the exact same thing, but has Beau always been able to punch the truth out of people? Definitely an interesting ability. Not that I'd call her a nosy busybody.

[headmt]

Hah, no. She got that one after I-- Well she had it when I came back. And she is definitely, one hundred percent, a nosy busybody. It is actually her job to be a nosy busy body. You know she's a spy of sorts, right?

[agleam]

[he laughs, a little.]

Right - rooting out corruption, she said? Is that the same thing as being a nosy busybody? I thought it sounded pretty cool.

[headmt]

You don't have to pretend Beauregard is cool to me. I know she isn't.

[ this is so mean. she isn't even here. ]

[agleam]

[that gets another laugh]

Harsh! I only got to know her for a few weeks, so you definitely know her better, but she seemed pretty cool to me.
