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.

[faectitious]

I don't see how it is.

[lascelles]

You know for certain that he exists? Matters are much more complicated for the rest of us.

[faectitious]

I do. He quite literally ate me, Victor. If he didn't exist I wouldn't have died.

[lascelles]

But if he didn't exist, you wouldn't exist either?

[faectitious]

If he did not exist to create me I wouldn't exist, no.
