[What's this, a pep talk? Emet-Selch sighs and waves a lazy hand between them.]

Oh, but I beg to differ. Give it a few millennia and see if you don't become stubbornly set in your ways - and exhausted to boot.

[IT SURE IS BUCKLE UP]

Oh, you're that old! Are you a fae? I wouldn't have guessed just by looking.

[Mayhap he should have mentioned that he is also too old for pep talks...]

If I were one of them, I daresay you'd be hanging upside down by your sandals, disoriented and utterly lost within an aetherial fog. They always were fond of their games - the faefolk.

Yet that doesn't explain what you are up to, interrupting my sound rest with your pleasantries and unflagging positivity.

Ha ha ha! You say the funniest things, even if I only understood some of that. I've never heard of a game like that, but maybe I'll have to ask Lilia next time I see him.

Hm? Were you sleeping? Maybe talking in your sleep...?

[At least he's honest. Saves Emet-Selch some trouble. No more humor, he supposes. Especially if he's the only one like to get any amusement out of it.]

'Funny'? And here I was being painfully serious about the entire thing.

As to your question - if you must know, I'm seeking an easy retirement. So yes, I was indeed attempting to sleep. Preferably for a very, very long time.

And then you came along. I suppose it was my own fault for thinking out loud - it seems to invite audience commentary.

Oh, is that what it was? Sleeping for a very long time, sort of like bears going into hibernation?

[That sounds more like a beastman than a fae... Of course, this guy doesn't have any animal features as far as Kalim can tell. But that's just why Kalim finds him so funny; somehow nothing he says lines up with Kalim's understanding of the world.]

But you know, I sometimes think out loud, too! And if it's overheard by someone, I generally find that they end up giving me some great advice. So if there's anything worrying you, you can lean on me! I'll do what I can to help!
