You may have noticed some abnormal behavior regarding the Door. Normally it doesn't bring in anything so large, and we did not expect it to do so this time. Delight and I have been attempting to alter the Door to send you home, as you have so often requested, but as I have said again and again, we have very little knowledge in this area. We will try again.

My appreciation for those who slew the dragons. We did not intend on their arrival, and I would be willing to grant you a favor in return for your efforts - if it's within my power, and not too foolish.

opposing ends of the spectrum
why don't you trust us to keep you safe from what hunts you?

[lingeringhope]

Because some of you have attempted to kill me or planned to do so.

[enchangement]

some of you are bad at governance
and have kidnapped people somewhat unwittingly
and against their will

she is concerned about this threat
that you will not warn any of them about
because of some of them

[lingeringhope]

Perhaps if 'she' proves herself trustworthy, that will eventually change.

[enchangement]

perhaps it will come back and devour us all before then

[lingeringhope]

That is a possibility.

[enchangement]

What do you want the most?

[lingeringhope]

I would prefer not to be killed, by you or anything else.

[enchangement]

so do all things living

[lingeringhope]

I am glad we have that in common.
