( picking at their skin. )

i want to forget you.

mercy.. hm.

how irritating.

your favorite, yes.

mizz, i’m not sure why you’re even wasting your breath.

i’m still preparing some of the food. i put a fun little show on the tv, if you’re bored.

it smells.

meant to quote, not reply but oh well

i’ve been thinking about myself and my flaws a lot more than usual, which is strange to me.

( moving to an empty table, picking up a vial of green liquid as they do so. )

( the lab really did seem like it came straight from the descriptions of an old fantasy novel. the wooden floors, dark cobblestone walls, dimly lit candles being the only light source.. tattered banners and flags of novoselic, mounts of the heads of elk and deer. )

me? i’ve been… fine. - -

i’ll take a look at it, darling. just have a seat wherever you’d like. i’ll grab you a glass of water too.

there’s no other issues, is there, my queen? i’d hate for your body to be giving you any trouble.

( upon reaching the alchemist’s lab, they push open the grand doors and allow the despair inside. )

rotting..? oh, no. come to my lab now. i can fix the rotting with little to no problem, you’ll be as good as new.

my queen, i haven’t done much lately. not many have required my services as of late and my experiments have been… failures.

quite frustrating, but the world continues to turn.

good morning.

whatever.

i’m sure you’re full of joy and whimsy now that you’re free. i’m sure you get to experience things normally now. i’m sure everything is going your way.

how happy i am for you.
