Prove yerself t'me.

I shall.

[He bows his head.]

Oh, speaking of proving oneself... Do you remember our contract?

Yes sir.

I have succeeded in my task.

[Produces a sock he took from Crois but did absolutely tell him about taking something ahead of time like an In Game week ago but that part isn't important. He did a steal. Sort of.]

Ya know that's not really what I had in mind but 'll take it ya worked an amount on it.

Mmm. I have to be sure to give it back.

[The spirit of stealing is lost on this man but he does have spirit of some kind.]

Ennnhhh just toss it inta his laundry.

[Consider it tossed and gives him more soup. Biscuit must eat and be well.]

Theft aside... If you need anything please come to me. You should be doing as much relaxing and resting as possible. You, Tart, Muffin and Pudding should all be taking it easy. Please count on me to take care of things.

...are ya upset ya ain't come too? I ain't mad.

I do wish I had been there to help... But I thought Tart would be better suited to the task. I couldn't wake you from the nightmare so I wasn't sure I'd be able to help in the mists either.

But I can look after you all here. That's something I can do with great certainty.

...and ya said I could tell ya whatever, yeh?

Yes, of course. About anything and anytime, Biscuit.

...I felt real frustrated about alla it. I feel dumb. About gettin' caught and gettin' hurt and not savin' myself.

You weren't the only one that got caught. It happened so quickly and everyone was unable to stop it from occurring. I think all of us are a little frustrated at the situation in general.

The inability to only be able to help until so much damage had already been done... I'm sure many people are unhappy and angry. [He ruffles Biscuit's hair, being mindful of the torn ear.] But you're not dumb. I don't think a single person could have saved themselves. Not Tart or myself or Muffin. It was a great group effort to make sure all returned home.

It's natural to feel the way you do but know that what occurred was not due to any failings on your part, Biscuit.

[...nuzzling into his hand, sighing]

Just tired of feelin' like I'm fumbling.

We all trip and stumble when it comes to the long road of life. It's as natural as breathing. You'll find your footing and be sprinting down the path in good time. Perhaps even being the rescuer in the future.

All one can do is hold their head up high and continue forward. But you need not do it right away. Tend to yourself and get your barrings... your day will come once more Biscuit.
