<Snipped quote by Path>

Fifty years...
*Places a hand to my chin*
And if we just cast a sleep spell on me to pass that time?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You'd die.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Are you sure?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Unless you'd get some sort of nutrition forced into you or the spell accommodates for your health or keeping you in a stasis, you'd die from lack of nutrition and bodily resources.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Something closer to stasis is what I had in mind.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Is Lily able to complete this task?

<Snipped quote by Path>

I am able to do a few tricks without her help.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

What about the poison that builds up? Since the spell sounds like a lingering one, would it build up over time?

<Snipped quote by Path>

Let's say I had a solution for all of those problems. You lose out on your test subjects.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

My question would be, why?

<Snipped quote by Path>

I'm bound to you through this contract. But all living things want to be free. That pursuit is what makes us alive.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

…You want to be free? What ever it is you feel you are stuck with, you are not. I am more bound to you than you are me in this contract, as my condition is merely observation based. I will not test on you or force you to complete tasks you do not wish to do. I will follow you. If there is anyone who would be considered shackled, it is I. And I chose to do such a thing willingly.

<Snipped quote by Path>

What is life if not the pursuit of freedom? What else matters? In the end, we're not equals in this contract, and it wasn't designed to make us that.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

No, it was not. Was that not obvious? You have more in this than I, especially in what you see as freedom.

<Snipped quote by Path>

We have obligations. You could step away at any moment without violating the terms.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

What are your obligations?

<Snipped quote by Path>

At any time, my party could have a third person. And you're cunning, don't think I'm not going to ignore some kind of loophole you might find in the contract.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*tilts my head in confusion*
How about we walk and talk? I converse better when I am moving and not looking down, if you wish.
*fixes my glasses*
In response with your first point, I won’t be forcing myself into your party. I am going to ask if you are available to have an extra member as I understand that party sizes are important when completing quests and jobs. I would like to see both you and Lily in action as much as possible, but if you feel that I would be a hindrance in your active quest I will willingly await when you are more able. As for your opinion, you are mistaken. I am straightforward, a lot of these issues and concerns can easily be resolved if you just ask. No need for friction between both parties.

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Stands up and walks with my arms crossed*
Your fairy creatures like it here, right?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

They are not mine, but yes they love it here.
