[He heads inside.]

Death is not permanent. Why would he bother? I imagine that is what holds your hand as well.

[going along with him but blinking hard]

It is not. I do not wish him harm.

Is that a truly honest answer?

[Waving a hand idly.]

What is your concern?

It is. Why would you think otherwise?

[slight frown]

Absinthe, he has not been idle here. I am certain of this. Do you know what he has been doing?

Noble your quest is, but ever do you exhibit behaviors that I find distasteful.

And if I did know, what would you do with this information?

While I apologize for inconveniencing you, I have nothing to say for what I do.

I cannot say when I do not know what it is.

Let's rattle of some scenarios, shall we?

Perhaps he is colluding with the Princes of Hell.

Or mayhaps he has found favor with the fallen angles of Heaven.

Or he might be simply bored with nothing to occupy his time.

What would you do in any case?

None of those hold any consequence. It is a matter of who he has hurt and why he has done so.

You would speak of outside of games.

Yes. Trying to discern the actions of each unit then seek to somehow hold them accountable for them would be madness.

I regret to inform you what he does with his time he keeps to himself. I cannot aide you in your quest.

Though I do hope you are just as diligent to everyone else that commits wrongs outside of games. Would it help if I confessed my sins?

I see the point that you are trying to make. Whether it is to catch me in a moral quandary or a true expression of concern for others, I know not.

Whatever the case, my choice is still made.

As long as you consider it.

[He does turn to her.]

Though I did not lie when I said I cannot help you in your question. I know not what he does in his free time. Nor do I have a desire to ask. He has had more than enough leashes and cages in his life. I would not add another.

I, too, once thought the same.

—Now.

[Alexander will feel the disarming sensation of his sight seemingly disappearing from one blink to the next. He can still move for the moment, but he won't be able to see anything but darkness. Was there someone else there? He wouldn't get the chance to find out.]

[and that-- is when Jason neatly knocks him out, slamming his fist into a pressure point on the back of his head.

he'll be out before he knows it.]

[He isn't expecting and ambush so he's blinded then struck in the back of the head. And its a mortal body with mortal weak points so the strike hits true.

Acquire (1) 7ft tall unconscious man.]

[. . . #smooth]

Now, we bind him . . . And wait . . .

I can try with some branches...? Unless someone brought rope.

[Jason seems like the kind of guy who brings rope, so he looks pointedly at him.]

I brought rope.

[he sighs.

seriously, is he the only one prepared for this.]

[there was a pow-wow, supplies were not mentioned! quietly considering Alexander while watching Jason tie him up]

[eventually, sight and conscious will return for Alexander, but definitely not freedom of movement. also, two of them will be on guard with him at any given point]

[That is an uncomfortable way to wake up even though he has a knack for napping just about anywhere. It takes him two or three times to realize that it is bindings that are causing him to be unable to reach up to touch the back of his head.

He gives the bonds one sharp tug before quickly giving up. He sighs instead.]

Must you?

[Give him a moment to figure out how many 'yous' there are.]

[not startled but still considering him for a beat before answering]

Yes. I would not have asked for their help without being able to assure their safety to some degree.

You have re-proven that numbers coupled with the act of surprise is a brilliant tactic. One that is favored by more than a few.

And your goal?
