Hello, little rock.

You ask so many questions. All day, all night, and in all voices. What's worse than dying? Who are elves? How do you kiss one?

Listen to me: I can ask questions too. What are stars made of? Who put them there? Do you think they must have been very, very tall?

And — Who do you belong to?

[alankazam]

South. Very south, but before the sun goes out. It’s peaceful. The Wild Ones don’t come here, they say it’s cursed. There was a house here once, and the elders remember.

[ he's Helping ]

[nonsibi]

["Helping"]

Which elders?

[alankazam]

Andros Tentrees and the Grey Mother, likely others of their tribe and years. There are not many of those. This not an easy place to grow old.

[nonsibi]

Yeah, well, with the way things are, I don't think there's anywhere where it's really easy to grow old. Not anymore, anyways.

You know none of this is really all that helpful, right.

[alankazam]

In a casket, perhaps. [ Presumably that's why people do weird shit like bury their dead. ] What would you say, if you were being helpful?

[nonsibi]

I don't think a casket counts as getting old.

[Just dead.]

For being helpful, I guess it'd depend on whether or not you want some help.

[alankazam]

The meat ages, the bones. I could use answers, more than help, but I'll not turn down either.

[nonsibi]

[Not exactly comforting.]

Answers for what?

[alankazam]

The Inquisition. Has it been worth it? To you?

[nonsibi]

That depends on what exactly you're asking about. Has it been worth it as a place to live? An occupation? A cause?

I've lived in worse.

[alankazam]

And the occupation, the cause?

[ He assumes now, that Bellamy's in it for the place. It's the real point of asking. ]
