[whentheroserots]

We'll do better this season.

[grand_finale]

That's our first stop. Today. As soon as we get straightened out here, we go over to meet them.

While we're on the subject, what's your hunger?

[whentheroserots]

I understand. I'll collect the trade packages I've already put together for them.

My hunger? Well... like the rest of us, apart from you, I feed on fluids.

[grand_finale]

Everyone feeds on fluids?

...You sure about that?

[whentheroserots]

It's quite convenient for me!

[grand_finale]

Really, now.

'Cause, I think, if I fed on lies, for example, I'd just lie and tell people "I need fluids!"

You sure no one here follows that logic?

[whentheroserots]

[god damn it Triumph I didn't even have time to enjoy that meal

leans in a little closer, dropping his voice]

... Yes, well, that logic was working perfectly well for me until just now.

Please, keep it to yourself? The others don't know.

[grand_finale]

[lowers her voice too]

Very well. In the future, don't lie to me. Or at least, don't get caught.

...You sure no one else is pulling the same thing?

[whentheroserots]

I think so. I can tell, at level 1, when people have eaten. If anyone fed on a lie when we were first introducing ourselves to each other, I didn't sense it.

[but now you have him wondering if he was just spectacularly inattentive that day thx triumph]

[grand_finale]

Hm. All right. Let me know if the situation changes.

By the way: I won't go by Triumph the Loyal anymore. From now on, I'm Triumph the Great.

[whentheroserots]

Ah, I'll remember it. Triumph the Loyal had such a nice ring to it, though.

[grand_finale]

It's now a memory.

Time will tell if it's just another memory to be lost after this year, or something forgotten entirely as we Aristophanes march into paradise.

[whentheroserots]

You know, when we first met, I wasn't entirely convinced you weren't the Prime of Uruk.

It's a role that suits you.

[grand_finale]

...

[--takes a deep breath]

[then lets it out]
