This is exhausting. You are all exhausting, with your constant need for food and water and not dying.

I could use a break. There are too many monsters in the caves, and keeping them in takes more of my power than I'd like. If you'd be so kind as to kill a few for me, I can offer you rewards in return, including some blessings. Besides, I'm sure you have some anger to work out after Fear's ridiculous stunt with the coffins.

And if anyone has any suggestions as to how I could conserve some power, I'd appreciate it. You don't need to eat every day, do you? That seems excessive.

about what happened before

[lingeringhope]

Before what?

[fervence]

before we were all brought here

[lingeringhope]

What is it that you want to know?

[fervence]

what happened to your friends and what happened to the people who lived hear before us

[lingeringhope]

They died. All of them.

[fervence]

but how and why

[lingeringhope]

Unpleasantly.

[fervence]

this is why people dont like helping you

[lingeringhope]

My apologies for not having any desire to speak about the untimely death of the only creatures I cared about.

[fervence]

if we dont know what happened we cant stop it from happening again

or fixing it

[sorry buddy, lloyd definitely feels for you about losing your friends, but at least you have a chance to get them back now. and he knows all too well how badly things can go when you don't understand what happened.]

[lingeringhope]

Or you might try to make it happen again. You don't trust me, and I have no reason to trust you.

[fervence]

why have every reason not to trust you we haven't done anything to make you not trust us though

[lingeringhope]

Plenty of you have openly tried to plot against us, or tried to discover ways to kill us. I believe that's enough reason.

[fervence]

because youre USING and HURTING us of course people are upset

[congratulations hope, you've frustrated lloyd so much that he managed to find the caps lock there for a moment.]

[lingeringhope]

I have not hurt a hair on any of your heads. On the contrary, I have used my power, what little I have anymore, to keep you all alive and as safe as I am able to.

Be upset if you like. But understand that I am well within my rights to distrust you for it when it involves possible attempts to hurt or kill me.
