[ gently

puts a hand

over allen's eyes. ]

Oh, most definitely someone on my team.

[lefthandpath]

[y'know what, i forgot to put a setting for this. let's just say there's canals. it's fine.

he goes still, doesn't move to remove the hand.]

... is what the Celestials told Rin true? Are you the ones seeking order? You don't really seem the type.

[grigori]

[ it can still work. ]

People and angels alike can be multifaceted creatures. However, it's correct.

The Temporal standpoint is that the Celestials seek chaos in their end while the Temporals wish for something less destructive. Now, my feelings toward the matter are complicated.

[lefthandpath]

[so it's really the perspective of it that's different...]

And do you want to share those complicated feelings? I promise not to tell.

[grigori]

The last time I tried, I turned into a cloud of gold Dust and it wasn't enjoyable.

So, I don't think I want to do that again.

[lefthandpath]

I see. Then I won't ask so directly.

Is it painful?

[grigori]

Super!

It feels like someone's squeezing me until I burst.

[lefthandpath]

[he makes a bit of a face, too familiar with the feeling of being crushed, actually.]

Well, I'll try not to put you in that position, then.

[including saying too much about his team to others... he really did luck out, it seems like.]

But do you know anything about that angel of dust that approached Bertolt?

[grigori]

[ imagine if someone else blabbed too much and the watchers are all quietly suffering wherever they vibe. imagine.

though they'll click their tongue at the angel of dust. ]

I know I have a lot of problems with it. I also know that if I say a word about it then I'll get in trouble.

[lefthandpath]

So they're at least not related to the Temporals? Can you say that much?

[grigori]

[ they'll make weighing motions with their hands. ]

My hands are really tied with this one. Sorry.

[lefthandpath]

It's all right. I suspected it was a dead end.

[and he is not actually great at this investigative thing, so...]

Then, I'll ask after things involving myself. I hear you're able to make bargains to regain abilities?

[grigori]

[ rameel will take a bow. ]

I am. Everything comes with a price and mine vary depending on how much I like you. You might get a discount if I like you enough.

[lefthandpath]

[joke's on you, Allen never assumes he's liked or a favorite.]

Ah. Well, then I have to ask: what would be the cost to have access to my Innocence again?

[grigori]

[ allen i'm begging.


also because i had to: ]

Innocence? You know, I don't know how to tell you that once you get to a certain point in your life you can't get that back anymore.

[lefthandpath]

[..............

allen walker, do not assault the Watcher. do not.]

I assure you that that is most certainly not the Innocence I'm speaking of.

[AND YOU KNOW IT]

[grigori]

[ rameel would deserve it.

but they'll laugh at the threat because wow! what a reaction. ]

Fine, fine.

I wouldn't be able to grant it all back to you at once. I'd only be able to give you a taste of it with the possibility of you getting more of it back bit by bit.

[lefthandpath]

And the cost?

[grigori]

[ oh this is an easy one for allen(?) ]

Just for you, cheat three different people out of three of their things. You're good at gambling, right? I'll give you a treat if you can win something off of three different people.

[lefthandpath]

That does sound pretty easy...

And this won't tamper with whatever's been done with the Noah?

[grigori]

Nope!

It'll be worry free.

[lefthandpath]

That's a bit of a relief. It's been quiet since I've been here.

[grigori]

A good kind of quiet, I assume.

[lefthandpath]

Yes. The kind I'm awake for, you understand.

[grigori]

I do. I haven't been in that situation but I can imagine how unpleasant it is.
