'Cause of the kidnapping?

[sageguidance]

That... is one reason, yes. One that is my primary focus now.

[battling]

What's happening at home?

[sageguidance]

To put it simply—the end of our star as we know it.

We are doing what we can to avert it, of course, but as you can imagine the timing of this could not have possibly been worse.

[battling]

[😬]

Yeah, that's some shit timing on their end.

[sageguidance]

It... is what it is. I can only press forward from here, as can the rest of us.

[battling]

We gotta figure what's going on here first. Not much for that at the moment.

[sageguidance]

We do. Much like before, unfortunately, 'twould seem we must wait ere we are presented with the chance to obtain answers.

[battling]

Get ready for Thursday night.

[sageguidance]

[ ugh ]

Yes, yes. I shall be as prepared as one could, which... I cannot say is better or worse than not knowing what to expect.

[battling]

Feel like it's worse not knowin' and just gettin' jumped for what seems like no reason.

[sageguidance]

Hm... The element of surprise is gone, isn't it.

I wonder how we are to entertain our host, for that matter. I cannot imagine it is an enjoyable time watching those who have already had this experience.

[battling]

...

Bite week two.

[sageguidance]

[ seconding that grimace emoji ]

... Let us ensure your continued safety this time.

[battling]

Focus on tryin' to figure this place out. Long as we provide entertainment we get what's ours back.

Yet I would also prefer not to see you lose your life a second time.

He takes Alphi's chin and shakes it gently.]

I'll always fight t' live.

[sageguidance]

[ his CHIN? HIS CHIN?? w- whoa... ]

...

[ Alphinaud doesn't protest much, but he does glance off. ]

I... know you would. Forgive me, but I cannot help but worry.

[battling]

[He'll let go and pat his head once.]

It's pointless tellin' ya not to worry, ain't it? Don't gotta say sorry for somethin' like that.

[sageguidance]

Hah... then I shan't.

For now, I am simply glad to see you are doing well. Have you come upon other familiar faces yet?

[battling]

Besides you? Winter Prince, Couch Thief, Mask, Mister Monster, and Fall Shortie, but he got tall.

[there's a lot of fall here, huh]

[sageguidance]

[ ... ]

I am beginning to think I may need a written index of all these names you assign...

[battling]

Winter Prince, Rupert. Couch Thief, Claude. Fall shortie, Hope. Mister Monster, Sieghart. Saw Horns too, but he doesn't remember me. That's Molly.

[sageguidance]

[ ... ]

Sieghart, a monster?

[battling]

Don't remember, huh? He was calling himself a monster.
