[ Mmmmmmmm the "how much do I hate that" meter rates this a solid 6/10, so like, whatever, he's had worse literally today ]

"I was brought to being as an instrument," wasn't it?

[ coos. Surprise. Minuet? Minuet of all people. Normally tools like him are more open bleeding wounds upon the world about it. Like Zenith. ]

We could have a club, all of us.

[ "open bleeding wounds upon the world about it" THAT'S HIS SECRET CAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DRY. ]

Now what the hell would we do at this club, Angel Devil?

[ tears don't count. it must be blood.

...is it blood AND tears, minuet ]

Exchange tips on obscure human social cues and customs. [ BITTER: ] I certainly could have used a few, some places along the way.

[ yea ]

You just have to live among them to learn all that.

[ Said like:

]

[ don't you git gud me you secret dollman ]

Twenty years I've done that and I am still learning mystifying new rituals.

[ with mounting amusement im sorry ]

Give it a hundred more, then start complaining.

[ SURE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE IT ANOTHER 100 YEARS BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ]

[ idly, as if that didn't just make him mentally grit his teeth, ]

How unsympathetic of you, Minuet~. So unwilling to share the wisdom of age with us young studies.

[ NOW WAIT A SEC YOUNG MAN LET'S UNPACK THAT ]

. . . ?

What was that?

[ pretending like he doesn't know ]

What was what? See something behind me?

[ makes a show of looking ]

[ bitch ]

Maybe I misunderstood... do you have a human lifespan?

[ ....bitter. ]

My own body is unaffected by the ravages of time, and shall live forever lest it is killed by other sources than senescence.

[ but there's a sense of separation between that 'body' and that 'self.' ]

[ the man is very smart as long as it's nothing to do with himself

Gears turn for a second, assessing what was said and wasn't said. ]

. . . I'm sure we could do something about it.

[ guttural laugh. ]

Could you, now. I should dearly like to see the day!

[ don't want to die don't want to die don't want to die but so so tired so tired so tired, should i really fight so hard to avoid it after all?

it'd be so easy to wait and let it happen and no longer have to bear under the weight of this. ]

[ Like,

Kind of internally wigs out when that's blasted directly into his head, actually? Full-blown adrenaline panic, dude. ]

[

Ok, normal again ]

. . . Your shepherd told you about the wishes, right?

[ this is why he has been trying and failing to shove it under the rose emotion powers tarp to no avail ]

Yes.

And I require mine for a different purpose.

[ His emotions have just been straight up turned off for a second but thanks anyway ]

More important than your life?

Hm, hm. Would you like to weigh it with me?

...The life of one single, wanton, murderous madman...

Versus the lives of a score of innocents, dragged into an endless war that was never theirs?

That's what your wish is for?

[ Emotions are telegraphing like

Yes, see, I was clearly fucking right this entire conversation ]

I'm just letting you know now, so that you don't start trying to convince me otherwise.

It's a curious wish for a destroyer. That's all.

[ aaaaaaanyway ]

That doesn't mean it's your only option.

Oh, truly.
My wish to save those people means others will die, you know~. Their foes.
I'm still fitting the bill.

[ this one is 100% truth. ]

[ this fucking guy... ]

Sounds like that could easily be avoided with a little wish wording tweaking.
