Two questions:

Do ghosts abide here?

And: if presented with a dream sweeter than any wine, do you chase it, even knowing you imperil yourself with every step? Or do you choose, instead, to wake?

You are very good to offer me your wisdom, though I am not your supplicant.

[Balder really has no idea what to make of that. He really hopes he doesn't have any supplicants.]

'Tis offered as a colleague. Talking philosophy seems to be a most popular pastime in this place.

[isinganyway]

I am hardly a god's equal.

[dusk_and_dawn]

You have been brought here for the same purpose that I have. That makes us colleagues and comrades-in-arms.

[isinganyway]

I have no wish to be involved in this fight.

[dusk_and_dawn]

Very few of us do. Even those who are warriors have our own battles to wage. But until we can return home, 'tis our fate to be involved one way or another. We are alike in that fate, and the only easing of our burden shall be each other.

[isinganyway]

Even tools have wills of their own.

[dusk_and_dawn]

I would not think of us as tools ... but if we must share this toolbox, we can share our camaraderie as well.

[isinganyway]

Even with one who keeps her identity secret?

[dusk_and_dawn]

It seems a delicate matter, so yes.

[isinganyway]

Thank you, my lord.
