[Heeey, Primrose. Are you entering the common room? Good! Because you'll just find Douman slumped over on the bar counter. Can't believe a clown was murdered so quickly-]
[..............Except not, because by the rise and fall of this giant's shoulders, they're just asleep. Weird place to get some sleep, though, right? A clown does what a clown must do...]

[ Oh, they dead.
Except no, they breathe. Primrose observes this silently for a few minutes, takes note of where they're sleeping, and then moves in to lightly shake their shoulder. ]
Pray, rise. There are better places to rest.

Are you all right?
[ You, with the razor-sharp teeth?? Wow, kissing this guy must be fun. ] Not one too many spirits, I hope?

Active?
[ Hm. ]
Well, I suppose if it's nothing you regret, it's not my place to advise you.

Oh, very much so. Of course, I've been trying to conserve my energy for the time being-- there's too much we don't know.
So it's been more like indulgence in moderation for me.

That's very smart of you. Yes, this place certainly has its secrets...one wonders if indulgences such as these do not come with a nice little string attached.
[A hum.]
For example, our ties to these Avatars. That will probably be something worth exploring.

[ To that, Primrose glances down at her hand, emblazoned with the mark of two crimson blades. ]
Yes, I'd have to agree. I do wonder if we'll be competing, in a sense.

I imagine it would be something along those lines, yes. "You will have your desire granted, but only if you win"... or something similar. They do say wishes are never granted freely.
Yes. [ Promptly. She's no stranger to "strings". ]
Are you?
Are you?
In the nature of being considerate, I ought not to ask of it, so I will not.
[ A nod. ] But I do understand that resolve.

[ ... Primrose looks more than a little bewildered by this. ]
You wish to serve someone? And-- ah, well, I wouldn't call them anything as lovely as dreams, but yes. I've had to fight and endure for years to continue on my path.

Those I travel with know the bare minimum.
But no, I've never told anyone the extent of it. And I've never asked for support.
[ Primrose walks a lonely road, the only road that she has ever known-- ]

It may be difficult, but it's a journey I accepted years ago. No one needs to trouble themselves with matters unrelated to them.
[ They don't need to be dragged into revenge. ]
[ They don't need to be dragged into revenge. ]
Then so be it. I am no one who ought to be mourned.
[ Calm down, Edgy. ]
