[ making his way over towards the familiar statue, he'll give a polite nod, offering them a smile. there's a long moment that he lingers over the statues, half waiting for them to come alive (boo!) as he approaches the small table. ]
Of course. It seems so peaceful here... [ all of the green, he stares out out at it for a wistful moment before adjusting his glasses. ] Honestly after the past couple of days, tea sounds rather nice. How are you?
Have any of you ever been in that much trouble while staying here..? [ he frowns ] I worry, even with things quieting, that they may just surge up larger with so many of us here.
We'll do the best that we can to help you all. You've helped us a great deal already in settling after all.
[ he thumbs at his cup quietly. the space around them feels lulling, and for a moment, he can picture the tree again, leaves sprouting, roots rich and fat with life. he presses his lips together a moment. ]
Truth is, this is far better than where I was certain I was going.
[they listen, though. the tea, by the way, is served in unassuming floral printed cups, but it has a lovely and unique floral scent, with something herbal in the taste.]
Is that right? Where did you think you were going?
[ he looks at them a moment, looking over details in the stonework quietly. a breath. ]
I've left behind a terrible legacy. A stain. [ a tight laugh. then, defiantly: ] I know that I must make what I do here worth something more than that.
[they listen without much judgment, just listening.]
I'll take your word for it that it was terrible. [they aren't going to argue about that.] What do you think is going to happen, if you do something good?

Yesterday was pretty dicey. I didn't like seeing Riff or Bass in trouble like that. But it seems as though things have settled down a little.

...I can't remember something similar to that happening. There's scuffles, monsters and weird prism things. But not like that.
I suspect things just have to settle, but it worries me, too.

Wherever the dead go, or worse, maybe.

Things don't always turn out the way you expect them to. But it sounds like you're struggling with the idea. Do you think you belong someplace worse?
