Of course I don’t like him. That doesn’t mean I want anything to happen to him.

[divus]

...how long would you stay with him? Until he had enough followers to not be in danger, or will you leave him next week?

[requiemed]

I...

[It’s clear from her expression that she hadn’t considered that, and she pauses.]

...I’d stay until he was safe.

[divus]

...if you really mean that, then go to him, not me.

[...]

But if you think you might be tempted to leave early... come to me. I'll send one of my other followers to him in your place. [she huffs] Does that work for you?

[requiemed]

[She nods, and then—]

If I go his way, would that count as a task?

[divus]

Yes. It's in place of the one you were going to do for me, before.

[requiemed]

Do you want me to come back once I’ve defected, or... Is my word good enough, since I have to defect anyways?

[divus]

You'll have to come back how it happens. Doing favors upfront in exchange for promises isn't my thing.
