"Before you ask for things that you may regret knowing about you should ask yourself if it is worth it." I gesture toward Vapor. "Knowledge like that which you seek will place her in grave danger. Can you live with that? Think about it." I turn away and leave him standing by himself. I walk up to Fox until we are side by side. "Such caution is unusual for most mortals that I have known. It will serve you well. Be sure that it does not hold you back."

I back toward him. Though I keep Kindness in the corner of my vision. "You ask what mindscapes are without considering whether such knowledge is a danger to your daughter."

I call a sphere of light to myself and send it off flying out into the distance.

I stop, turn away from Vapor's father, and raise my hand to greet Kindness and Queen. For a moment I ignore the question I then turn back to him. My expression blank, but my mind is bemused. "You must truly be a scholar in search knowledge to be so observant. However, you ask the wrong questions." @DramaQueen @Spren of Kindness

I cease my cursing in many tongues and turn to Vapor's father. I curse mentally for letting him get so close without my noticing. "Ask if you wish."

I'm honored.

That is a great question. I'm not sure, but I don't believe so.

Thank you. A good day to you. *Wins.*

Where to begin? It's rough but a fun read nonetheless. Above all good job on making Charles so delightfully easy to despise. His type always get what they deserve eventually. We have strange Hoid merchant AKA Fadran the Channelknight so that's fun. I like the dichotomy and ambiguity of dreams where on one must fight with a supposed enemy and in the process seeing uncertainty vs. Real world certainty which gets peeled back. This romantic view of war being stripped away a bit in the last chapter is well done. Now one thing that I would say is with so many characters flooding us at once it might get a bit confusing. If possible perhaps develop a little with one of the groups or even both before so many characters are brought in.

Is that why you defaced the science book? Outliers have come for more.

I see.

Is that so?

alas I in fact *sniw.*

Did you burn the cake? Snow flakes are falling rapidly.

yes. Is the only winning move not to play?

Agreed.

"I despise those..." I lose myself and begin to mutter under my breath in several ancient languages.
