[forward this to about 3-4 in the morning.]

Hello
Is anyone awake?

Comments

[imusntrunaway]

It's okay.
We both can't sleep.
Asking questions help pass the time.

[theguideless]

You can ask some if you want I think I asked a lot

[imusntrunaway]

Oh. Sure.
Um...

[SO MANY THINGS TO ASK WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE...]

If it's okay with you...
What was your home like?

[theguideless]

I lived in a very big stone place called compound
There was a place to sleep and eat and open space to train
The monsters were kept under the ground until we needed practis

[imusntrunaway]

Wait, monsters?!
That

[sounds not normal and kind of terrifying like wow :( What kind of life do you lead Martin??]

sounds terrible...
Were you a soldier?

[theguideless]

I was going to be a hunter I tried very hard
My whole family was made to kill monsters there.
It was very bad there

[imusntrunaway]

... I'm sorry to hear that.
Is it better here for you?

[theguideless]

Yes
You do not have to be sorry
I will not go back to that life.

[imusntrunaway]

Are you going to stay here?

[theguideless]

Yes

[imusntrunaway]

Will they let you do that?

[theguideless]

[a slight delay.]

I dont think it matters there is no way for me to return to that time they took me first
Its over

[imusntrunaway]

But...
They said time stopped while we were here
Didn't they?

[theguideless]

I have no time left to go back to there and I already know what will happen even if I must do it again

[imusntrunaway]

... I see.

[theguideless]

What is back in time for you?

[imusntrunaway]

[Minutes pass before he answers:]

I don't think there's anything left for me.

[theguideless]

[you too, huh.]

I think it will be good to make something here you like

[imusntrunaway]

I don't want to stay here
Like what?

[theguideless]

Maybe finding the cello or something here you would like you could make music again?

[imusntrunaway]

I'll think about it I guess.
Maybe.

[theguideless]

I can help if you want perhaps
I dont have really many good ideas right now but I can think about it.

[imusntrunaway]

You don't have to go through the trouble.

[theguideless]

It doesnt seem like trouble

[imusntrunaway]

Oh
Okay then I guess
I don't have any good ideas either though
