Oh Abeegail, what am I to do? I need to help five people and fill them with hope so I can get something that makes me feel like I have a heart again! Because I don't have a heart inside my body, which apparently means far more to me than it does for most of the people in this stupid cave. Hmn? What's that Beeatrice, this trade is basically impossible for me without the thing I'm trading for? Right you are! How smart, and how quickly you realized it, you smart little bee.

[His faux enthusiasm drops and he glares flatly at the camera.]

Come help a witch help you to help himself help us all. I have healing magic and a temper. If you think this is cheating, I don't want to hear it, and I only want things that will actually help. I'm serious, I'm trying to be good, here.

...Oh, and it goes against everything else I'm trying to do here, but I should let you know that the bees I found can't make honey. Maybe if you tell Delight or someone they can, she'll believe you and the copies will be able to, I don't know. I don't really care.

[He's screwed.]

You do what you must.

Are you not use to being sociable? Conversations such as these are normal.

[ No, Armand. You're just creepy. ]

[purpleknee]

I mean I did spend six years basically talking to no one except my minion that was secretly my father and an annoying hag general that would get in shouting matches with me

[soooo...]

[oversear]

A minion. As in an evil super villain minion?

[ A-ha. Finally, his hours upon hours of television watching is paying off. If only Daniel was here to see this. Not going to touch the father thing. ]

[purpleknee]

Something like that, yes. But I'm not an evil villain, I'm a wicked witch. The difference is subtle but it's there.

[oversear]

And what is that difference?

[purpleknee]

I'm not evil I just do bad things sometimes. Some of those bad things I do for very good reasons! I'll go back to being not wicked when I have my heart anyway.

[oversear]

I see. Then it is fortunate that you know where to draw the line. Such things could be disastrous.

[ He should know, he has occasionally smashed that line to bits. ]
