<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The door opens to an open floor living room, kitchen and dining area, where another Chickpea is standing behind the kitchen's bar counter expectantly*

@Valiance

*Frowns*
How many of you are there?

Myriad Reality

*Exhales through my nose, amused*
Not too difficult of a promise to make. Come on.
*Turns and heads through the door*

@Valiance

*Follows behind, sparing an angry glance at Avis*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

We've not gone to any other rooms.
*Points to the door I referred to as the living space*
Completely different atmosphere in there. And a kitchen, that Chickpea can run. As for what I eat... Meat, vegetables. A lot of normal human stuff, I'd imagine, if you're familiar.

@Valiance

...Maybe I could eat something, so long as it doesn't go out of my sight.

Drugging you doesn't fall under the category of helping, last time I checked.
*Shrugs*
But like I said, trust isn't an obligatory part of the deal.

@Valiance

What do you eat? All I've seen is technology and metal.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You hungry?

@Valiance

*Seems surprised by the question*
...I don't want to risk being drugged.

*Nods in unsurprised acknowledgement*
That’s a long time to have the rug pulled from under you at the end. I don’t blame you one bit. Even if The Legend didn’t end up killing anyone in the end, he still hurt a lot of people.

@Valiance

It doesn't feel real yet. That part will take some time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

In time, I’m sure. I don’t blame you. How much time did you spend as part of that?

@Valiance

*Looks up*
...Almost five years?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Sounded a bit ago like you wanted nothing to do with them after today. Didn’t know if that was permanent.

@Valiance

I want nothing to do with them, but I will make them regret it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You have no intentions to get involved with those people again? No ill will toward Legend, or the general who took your hand?

@Valiance

Don’t mistake me, there’s a lot of ill will. But right now I don’t have any other choice but to wait.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The world would fall apart if everyone treated things like a contract, I’ll tell you what.
*Shakes my head*

@Valiance

Yeah, it really does. We saw that much at work.
