Airy. Are you well? Do you need money?

_{[Victor. Why is he messaging her? Why does he even care? Does he care? Or is he just feeling guilty? She stares at her little screen, unamused.]}

I'm alive. I won't say no to money if you're offering it.

Re: un: crystfairy

[lascelles]

[ all of the above. ]

Of course. I will send you some.

But are you well?

[faectitious]

Define well for me.

[lascelles]

You are not hurt or scared? You are safe?

[faectitious]

If I'm not what would you do?

[lascelles]

I'm sure there's something I could do. I haven't earned your trust, but please believe me when I say that I want to help.

[faectitious]

You had earned my trust but then you went and broke it. You feel guilty, don't you?

[lascelles]

Of course. I deeply regret everything.

[faectitious]

Good. You should feel regret. I was nothing but polite to you. I even let you touch my body. You're a fool but perhaps I'm even more so one.

[lascelles]

It wasn't my intention to betray you. I had hoped we could all live together, but it simply became impossible.

[faectitious]

Because of him not because of me.

[lascelles]

I suppose so. He was very insistent.

But talking like this will do no good. Is there anything I can do?

[faectitious]

That depends on whether you're asking because you care or because you want to be rid of the guilt you feel.

[lascelles]

Of course I care!

[faectitious]

Why? I ask that genuinely.

[lascelles]

Will you believe me if I tell you?

[faectitious]

Perhaps. Tell me.

[lascelles]

That is not an answer.

[faectitious]

Fine. I'll take what you say to be true.

[lascelles]

You are important to me and I want to get to know you better even despite what you are.

[faectitious]

_{[Interesting answer. She does believe him, even though she doesn't want to. He has no reason to lie really.]}

...Even despite what I am?

[lascelles]

You said... you were created. Among other things.

[faectitious]

Well yes - all of creation is created.

[lascelles]

It's a different matter, surely.
