Yeah. No problem.

Keep feeling the impulse to ask for confession or something but I'm, uh, not Catholic anymore and don't have much of an idea what I'd say if I were.

I think it would be hard to be Catholic and a god. But I wish you good luck with the things you're trying to do.

I didn't really mean to be a god. Exactly. But - thanks.

Of course. Do be very careful not to die.

I'll try. I already did it once. I wonder if the grim reaper would let me go indefinitely if I carried a bunch of his weird flowers around. ...I wonder if the grim reaper even appears if I die here. Should probably make a bunch of them anyway. Man, I should have made some for Rana before he left -

Does he have a way to contact anyone?

No. I - could have tried giving him something but he just seemed like he wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible. I gave him a luck stone in case it helped anything.

Nod.

She makes a bunch of death flowers. "Hey. Connor. If you die and see a dude in a black robe with a skull for a face you should give him one of these. Also don't die, but like, just in case."

"Will do."

"Cool. Kind of mad that I didn't give one to Rana before he left. I don't know whether it'd even have done anything for him, but - ugh."

Nod.

"Maybe it's better if he dies."

"You think so?"

"I don't know. But if he dies then we can bring him back and then he'll have to be less mad at us, and if he lives he's gonna be sad forever and ever."

"Will he have to be less mad at us, if we bring him back?"

"Well, he'd be yours, if you made him."

"I guess so? But lots of people are mad at the people who made them. And - if he wanted me to let him go I'd wanna let him go."

"I think it'd - it'd be something you did that wasn't just throw problems he couldn't solve at him."

"That makes sense."

Snuggle.

"You gonna be sad about it, if I make fairies and then they belong to me for a while? I guess if I have kids this'll probably happen anyway. Probably. I dunno if anyone's ever had quarter-fairy kids."

" - no? Why would that make me sad? I guess I'll be sad if you like them better but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make them if you want to."

"Well, you kept being like 'you're probably going to have lots of slaves,' and it sounded like it might make you sad if I had more, and I don't really plan on - expecting anybody else to be the thing that you are, ever, but I'm maybe kind of unclear on which things technically make you a slave and which things would make you sad."

"Someone is technically a slave if they're a fairy substantially in your debt with no court. It will not make me sad if you have lots of those. It will not make me sad if they're important to you and you care about them, or if you have sex with them. It will make me sad if you snuggle them and mindmeld them and get them presents for Christmas. But I think it's okay for you to do things that make me sad."

"Good to know. ...Christmas presents are not normally that high on the intimacy list but it's good to know that they're important to you and stuff. Maybe we can talk about that more when it's closer to Christmas."
