You look awfully disorientated. Shall I get you something? [ she'll great him politely and with a curtsy...as she did with others. ]

[hymned]

... What would the cost for it be, exactly?

[ Being a Kresnik teaches you that Nothing Is Ever Free, especially when spirits are involved. ]

Nothing. I exist to fulfill wishes and desires; that is my single purpose. [ lmao. ]

[hymned]

And ... that is a purpose you are content with?

[maladied]

[ she'll raise a hand to the side of her face. ] I have no reason to be discontent with it.

[hymned]

That's not quite an answer to the same question I asked.

[ Not having reason to be discontent =/= not being discontent. Maybe it's harmless, maybe he's seeing threat where there isn't, but regardless he takes note of the shape her answer takes.

The shimmering of this space... Julius hasn't moved from his crouching kneel, his one hand splayed out in front of him for balance— but his eyes narrow a bit as he takes in everyone's general demeanors regarding their host too. ]

What was this excursion in pursuit of, if I may ask? The settings previous seemed very focused around certain particular things, but this space not so much. Was this someone's wish, and if so, what was it for?

But my answer is the same. I have no reason to be discontent with it for I have no wishes of my own. [ she'll tap a finger against her face. ] My understanding is that you have all arrived here to meet me as a fulfillment of the many desires of people who wished to see me.

[hymned]

I see. Then you're the third presence everyone keeps speculating and talking about.

[ ... There are a couple of important questions he needs to ask now, but first, if she evaded the cost and want question. ]

You say there's no cost to the things you grant. Why did the doors require a price, then?

[ bc naru wanted to make it spicy. ] I do not know. Perhaps it was the trial necessary to be able to approach me.

[hymned]

You don't have complete understanding or control over the finer mechanisms of how the wishes you grant work?

[ But a trial, huh. Sure. ... The others are asking about a cure. What of... ]

What's the nature of the illness and infection plaguing these different worlds? What's the root of it?

[maladied]

I know what I can do but not always how it happens. [ you know like you know you do certain things but then you don't know how that happens? as for his other question. well. ]
