Sorry, the what?

[What the hell?? Tell him everything and also what on earth? But in a second--]

And what kind? A magical kind?

[Is it... cool?]

[voktys]

A ghastly false god, greedy for blood, preferably of children.

⟪ she's not a fan. what was the other question? right.⟫

I am not beyond offering magical assistance, if need be. Like most, I am not at the fullest of my powers just yet, but there are things that can be done – though I presume you warded it yourself?

[takeroot]

Hmm, dreadful. [gross!] And yes, as much as I am able. I have a handful of defense runes at my disposal, but nothing too advanced.

[On the one hand, the place is pretty isolated. On the other, they already had a demon problem once... Hmm!]

[voktys]

Two may be able to do more than one.

⟪ and it's only thinly veiled with the consideration that people die in wars all the time. ⟫

[takeroot]

[Don't worry, he's already committed himself to Staying The Fuck Home after the first real battle he had to face here. This plan will work.]

Then I will welcome your help. And the children will be delighted to have another visitor!

[voktys]

I must warn you that I am not very practiced in speaking to young children.

⟪ just... the understatement of the century. ⟫

[takeroot]

Just think of them as tiny adults. It's about the same.

[Is this a burn on all human adults... yes.]

[voktys]

Less likely to try their hands at an assassination. Yet.

⟪ but his point stands. ⟫

[takeroot]

None of my children are going to wind up assassins, I assure you! They aren't so annoyingly barbaric.

[Please, he'll raise them better than that... Hopefully.]

[voktys]

A good-hearted wish.

⟪ she means it exactly like that – as a good thing. ⟫

Many in your position would be working towards the opposite.

[takeroot]

To make children killers? Their parents would be so proud.

[Dryly; even his nasty piece of work father didn't try to raise a murderer.]
