It's alright, friend. If the youths bully you too much, I'll tell them to settle down.

[afineknight]

They are such naughty children! All of them.

[terraria]

I would suggest you protect yourself by surrounding yourself with those of Clover. They're good luck charms.

[afineknight]

Only Lyra can save me now!

[terraria]

Sonata blessed Lily for our excursion to get Aides a new arm, and we didn't run into any problems. Sonata or Lyra would be the best luck.

[afineknight]

Yes, that sounds about right.

[terraria]

In other news...

How much have you been smoking?

[afineknight]

A reasonable amount for a man in my situation!

[terraria]

"Reasonable" is subjective, doctor.

[afineknight]

My hard limit for today is a pack and a half.

[ it's been a rough one. ]

[terraria]

( his face doesn't change..........

but there's a mildly exasperated aura about him nonetheless. maybe it's the wings drooping. )

I see.

... there are other ways to calm yourself, if you ever run low.

[afineknight]

I have five packs. So, all things considered, I am showing restraint. But if there ever was a day for it, this is the day.

[terraria]

I understand. ( said without judgment. and the aura has already disappeared, with his wings perked up again. ) We all have our vices and our ways of coping.

[afineknight]

Coping . . . hahh.

[ He sighs. ]

Yes. This is what I have here.

[terraria]

I wish I had my vices here, but I'm not going to that scammer for anything I don't explicitly need.

[afineknight]

Oddly enough, I never asked him for a single pack.

[terraria]

How did you get those, then?

[afineknight]

Two came from Tyr, one was a gift from Yata in a basket I believe, one came from Styx, and Lyra gave me a pack earlier.

[terraria]

... enablers...

[afineknight]

You mean good friends, right?

[terraria]

I mean enablers, doctor.

( no he did not stutter. )

Good people, but enablers. I'm not your mother nor your spouse - I have enough husbands - so I won't do anything about it... but please take good care of yourself, for the pasture's sake.

[afineknight]

Ha. Don't worry about it. I have my vices, but I am not reckless.

[terraria]

Good.

Or I'd grab your soul and shake it. ( remember that he is a lily, )

[afineknight]

Please don't, my soul is delicate and has been through a lot.

[terraria]

I'll stay my hand for now.
