Well—yes. I mean... I think it obvious why.

[ercnerd]

You two must have a good relationship if that's the only reason.

[sageguidance]

'Tis not so strange to be in good relations with one's sibling. Certainly not everyone does, but... There is little I would not do for Alisaie.

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart nods.]

Mm. Good. That's how siblings should be.

[sageguidance]

Hah... worry not. Naught shall ever change that—not on my end.

[ercnerd]

Does that mean you're no longer as uneasy as you were earlier?

[sageguidance]

Hm... I don't think I'll feel wholly relaxed until we can quit this place for good, but for now, I believe I may be able to rest easy.

[ercnerd]

You'd best believe it. You wouldn't want to greet Alisaie with baggy eyes, would you?

[sageguidance]

Heh. I could be beaten and battered, and still would I be full glad to see her hale and whole.

[ercnerd]

Of course, you would. But what do you think she'll have to say about it?

[sageguidance]

Oh, it goes without saying she'd be quite cross with me, but that matters little to me right now.

[ercnerd]

[They can't exactly be loud right now, so he huffs mirthfully instead.]

Spoken like a true brother. You must really be relieved.

[sageguidance]

Very.

[ he probably like cried earlier when no one was looking. don't tell anyone. ]

Surely, you must feel the same.

[ercnerd]

[Sweet Alphinaud.]

I'm relieved that everyone's safe. If I couldn't do that much for Mari, I . . .

[He trails off, voice softening.]

[sageguidance]

... A friend of yours?

[ercnerd]

[Now there's a funny thought. Sieghart refocuses with a grin.]

No way. She's . . . should I say, my charge? I'm protecting her in my late brothers' stead.

[sageguidance]

I see... But she should also be safe, yes?

[ercnerd]

She should be. I wonder if this seal on our powers will lift before she sees me . . .

[sageguidance]

Hm? ... I take it that means it would alter your reunion somehow?

[ercnerd]

Well, yeah. If she tries to dissect me before I regain my immortality, I really might die.

[sageguidance]

[ ... ]

I beg your pardon?

[ercnerd]

It's how things are between us. She's always pestering me for my blood and talking about how she wants to dissect me to learn more about my immortality.

[sageguidance]

[ ... hm ]

Was it not gained from... [ he trails off, making vague hand gestures. ] Come to think of it, I know not what that place was, aside from a temple—or so I presume.

[ercnerd]

I've been to countless temples in my lifetime. That's not where I acquired immortality, though. I was given a lifesaving transfusion from my brothers when they found me, bleeding out.

[sageguidance]

And it was through that where you gained immortality?
