Oh very well. It's about Hermes. He tells me you have a contract now. You don't intend to stab him in the back for his kindness do you?
Regardless, I did not try to talk him out of it. Much. But from what I gather, you are from a time in his and my own future. You absolutely must not tell Hermes about his or Meteion's role in the Final Days or whatever your Warrior of Light encountered in that future. You cannot. It would destroy him. He barely knows Venat's role in it all and already it tears at him. I will not allow you to harm him irreparably.
Think what you must of the "Terrible Ascians", but he is not even remotely as the Fandaniel you remember. Hermes is an innocent.
Unlike some people, I never have had the intention to stab anyone in the back. Literally or figuratively.
Do you really think me such a fool that I would meddle with something as fragile as a man's emotional state? Of course I would not mention anything I know! I know you must think me a villain for our past interactions, but there is no reason for me to bring anything up that would otherwise hint at what might happen in the future.
This is mutually beneficial for the both of us. I do not hold anything against a man who cannot know what will happen. Hermes has been nothing but pleasant to me.
You have certainly done your share of meddling in the past though, haven't you? The recent past, as far as I'm concerned.
Regardless, it sounds as though you know exactly why I would be unwilling to trust you yet you're angry that I'm unwilling to trust you. You realize how that sounds, yes?
And you're only saying what I've already proposed. It's mutually beneficial. Hermes is kind, but I will not be if you get any of your brilliant ideas.
Yes, I have done my share of meddling. And it was with good reason. As much as I understand your position, I am not and will never be willing to compromise on my own ideals and those I care for to make way for yours.
Here, there is no reason for me to cause any disturbances. As far as I am concerned, you have nothing to worry about. Yes, it is entirely within your right to worry, but I do not view you as an enemy, despite our differing wishes. I simply find your personality unpleasant.
You have my word that I shall not do anything to harm your friend.
I cannot say I'm fond of your sickeningly sacrificial personality either, so we are of an agreement there as well.
Ah, but for what it is worth, I am sincere in my desire to support your contract with Hermes, and if you meant what you said about Elidibus, I have no complaints. Their happiness, their freedom, is all that I desire.
Our quarrel is over now, and yes, you have won. I gracefully retire to the shadows.
Until, of course, my Submissive and your Dominant are so entangled in one another again we've no choice but to even the odds.
:)
