What a shame! And here I thought you could do it all.
[Alas...]
Take your time thinking of clever questions, ma cher Père. I shall concoct a few of my own for you, too. In the meantime... do take care of yourself, oui? I would hate to miss our next meeting because of some preventable misfortune.
....That so. [And his expression is sombering once more.] Either way. I hope you help. It would be a shame to have you sit out and let us do all the work.
Oui... I suppose that would be a shame, wouldn't it? Watching from the sidelines has never been my style. But worry not, Père. If the horrors come calling, I'll be sure to answer in kind. You may yet find that I am the one doing the saving.
Still... I appreciate the sentiment. It's nice to be offered a place to fall, even if I don't plan to use it.

[What have the Spanish ever done for the Skydom?]
Ah, but do not treat me like some enigma to be unraveled! If you have a question, ask. I am an open book, oui?

[What relationships?]
Hm. That so? I'll have to think of some good questions, then. Maybe you have some for me, down the line.

[A little dully, as he moves to stand.]
We already have preventable misfortune on our hands.

[Not that Lobelia sounds bothered, much less frightened.]
There may well be more carnage to come. These things are rarely isolated incidents.
no subject
You really don't seem bothered.
[An observation.]
no subject
[It's a fair observation, one he isn't surprised Hansa called him on... but he was hoping he wouldn't.]
no subject
Yes! Please. Shake and tremble and ask for this humble priest to come save you from the horrors.
no subject
[He laughs, unbothered, as though the notion of being frightened truly never occurred to him.]
Alas... I've lived with horrors far more intimate than this place could conjure. You'll forgive me if my nerves have grown dull.

[Hehehe.]

[Hmmph.]
Maybe one day, you will have to. And I'll be there. So.....I'll see you around, Lobelia.
[And he's walking away, into this new night of death.]
