[He's there in the courtyard and he's so tired.]
Sorry, it was my first attempt.
You know when your followers use their powers, don't you?

[He takes the seat next to them.]
I wish they would stop hitting us with that.

Back again? I'm surprised. Most people only dare to talk to me once before they're completely put off.
[She laughs, but it's a pretty self-deprecating sound. Sitting by the stream, she's carefully scooping water to dangle onto a potted plant she carries in her lap.]

I don't dislike you. Have you not been getting many visitors?
[He'll take a seat nearby so he's off his leg and his crutches.]

I'm glad you like it.
... How are you doing? Did you what was going to happen today?

Good morning.
[Put on that brave face, Sieg. One good thing happened.]
Your number was higher than I was expecting this week.
... I don't know who did it, but I'm grateful.

[In the game room the cupcake's nowhere in sight this time but the crumbs on the plate indicate it's been eaten by the time Sieg arrives. He'll find Merriment seated on the edge of the billiard table, legs idly swinging as he waves.]
Busy day? [Mostly because he assumes Sieg made the cupcakes this morning.]

[At least people are appreciating his hard work. Sieg takes a seat in one of the chairs.]
Did you know I was going to talk to all of you?

[In the east wing, Sieg will find Beauty at the top of the west building again, under the awning and overlooking the pool. The cupcake has been cut in half, except half of it is gone already. Luckily there are also probably elevators so that Sieg's poor broken leg isn't agitated further.]
Do you ever get to eat your own creations, Sieg-kun?

[He'll be taking a seat, thanks. At least he didn't have to climb up stairs today.]
I test them, and I eat them sometimes. I don't want to give you something that tastes terrible.

Sincerity, right?
Of taking your mask off or the cupcake?
[He's teasing, just a little bit.]

This time I did.
Nonon taught me a little while ago. It's cool, right?

[He walks in and takes his shoes and socks off, dipping them in the pool without going all the way in.]
Thousands... I think Ray must've had more.
How are you doing?
Thousands... I think Ray must've had more.
How are you doing?
A lot better, thank you for all of your help.
What about you? Are things alright?

[He knows that they're down to just one corpse this time. But he watched Yu have a break down in the middle of trial.]
Somehow... It feels worse every week.

Hello again, Sieg. Thanks for stopping by.
[Without preamble, she puts her arms through his, tugging him close. She pats the inside of his arm, and it seems like she's making an effort to be some manner of comforting.]
Long day, huh? How are you doing? Can I get you anything, gorgeous?

[She's trying and he can appreciate that.]
Hello, Disorder.
I think I'm holding up a little better than some others. You don't have to get me anything.
[Because he wasn't close to any of the people who died this week.]
How are you? We're getting closer to the end.

[Most of the cake is gone but Merriment is still on the billiard table with the plate when Sieg enters.]
Hey kid. [He seems relaxed enough considering everything, but the fidgeting is enough of a sign that he's on edge.] How's it going?

[He just kind of showed up huh.]
I'm glad you like them.

[These big fancy spaces... he keeps feeling out of place- still he approaches.]
I think some people say... to aim high when it comes to ambitions. Birds can fly.

Hello, Merriment.
Did you like the cookies?
Did you like the cookies?
Ah... I thought they were a fairly common snack. Um... are you allergic?
[Sieg takes a seat at the edge of the pool.]
Nothing in particular today. Just the company.

I did make these, I'm happy if you liked them.

I just feel rude if I don't offer something... I'm glad you liked them.
The rule to talk to more gods is yours, right? Are you lonely?

[His artwork is getting steadily better.]
The hippogriff? It's a phantasmal beast where I'm from... Or you could say it's a creature that's relegated to myths these days.
My best friend had one as his mount.

[When Sieg enters the parlor, he'll find that the plate of cookies is on the table, but also wagashi as promised! All in the shapes of rabbits and hippogriffs. Beauty, meanwhile, is seated in his chair and gestures for Sieg to enter the room.]
Like these, right? [Pointing at the hippogriffs! They...are mostly accurate, at least.]

[Rabbits! Astolfo would've been so happy to be here with all these little rabbits.]
Yes. These are really similar to the one I knew.
