the truth is, everyone wishes to be saved.

The execution has come and passed with the death of two more Agents. However time moves on without cease and so must the living. There are no celebrations, only the silence that grows heavier and heavier with every day and the feeling that something is pleased with what it has done.

There are two more days before the new week arrives: what will you do?

Room 3;

[sageking]

[ He probably hadn't been in here yet, but as of recent events, that may change.

At some point, probably real later on, he'll come in...what was knocking because he wasn't going to do that? A King didn't need to knock. Just simply make it apparent he's present. ]

How long have you been sitting there like that?

[baitless]

[Seteth takes a few seconds to respond, as he... has been...]

...I haven’t been keeping track.

[It’s pretty true, all things considered... time has no real meaning!]

[sageking]

Hmph, fair enough.

[ The man lost his daughter. Gilgamesh will give him that.

There were other things he wanted to say, but he knew better not to. But, he considered it a good thing he was not lost just yet. He didn't agree with Zabuza's assessment, after all. ]

I expect you to honor the words you said to me towards the end of the wretched trial. I will not tolerate anything else.

...But, for now I've decided to simply grace you with my company, so be grateful for that. I would also drag you to your feet, but it appears there's hardly anything to be done for the moment, other than rest or wind down in the presence of others. Until we're ready to face the next week, that is.

[baitless]

I will keep my word. There will likely be nothing to do until Monday, save perhaps salvaging anything useful from this week’s rooms.

[...he’ll try and work on that at some point, but.]

...

She will... likely be the next Vessel, won’t she...?

[sageking]

Considering your current state, I've decided that I'm to know of when and where you're participating in such activities if you are to truly to abide by your word. You have permission to even bring me along at such a time.

In no uncertain terms will you be given leniency to disobey this command.

[ Or he'll just slap him or something it's nbd.

Maybe his expression softened a little or it was a trick of the light. ]

She may be. Of course, Haku was an option as well.

After all, there seemed to be a pattern so far in that victims are chosen as the next 'veseel'.

[baitless]

...I see. I will do as you ask, then. Tell me when and where you need me, as well.

[...it’s easier if he doesn’t really have to think for himself. He’ll try, but boy, is it hard to muster... you know... will... especially given that.]

...

Haku is a bit of an odd case given that he’s both. He seems less likely, given the pattern. But... we will know Monday.

[sageking]

I will. You will also make sure you are in proper gear when you're attending.

[ Gilgamesh fully intended to drag him through it, so be prepared come Monday or Tuesday, Seteth.

...He will truly see if there's any worth or life still left in this man who had lost the person most dear to him here. ]

I anticipate either way it will be the usual, irritating sing-song and dance routine as usual, but it is what it is.

[baitless]

I will, certainly. I still have that, at least.

[like, having a shield can’t hurt. Maybe he’ll need to give Battler a concussion again, who knows.]

...I’m sure it will. There’s nothing we can do but take it as it comes.
