Understood.

[ with some flourish. ]

Well, what other inquiries can I help you with on this lovely day?

[lefthandpath]

What, exactly, are we supposed to be doing here? Why were we brought here?

[grigori]

The answer to those questions are the ones that I'm pondering. Originally we were lead to believe you were brought here through your own will and all of that...

[ they tap their foot. ]

However, it seems like that wasn't the case at all and yet you're still here to be watched by us and to help settle this conflict. The details of the latter point lacking clear instructions presently.

[lefthandpath]

So even you don't have an idea of what your "bosses" are up to...

[grigori]

I have an idea of what they're doing but those details are hazy.

[lefthandpath]

What are they doing, then?

... also, which Temporal are you?

[grigori]

Generally, I'd say Temporals are about protecting who they care about.

[ with some flourish. ]

I'm Rameel. I'm taking suggested options for nicknames, however.

[lefthandpath]

... ah. Well... what kind of food do you like most?

[grigori]

I don't eat too much, but I love snacks. All kind of snacks.

[lefthandpath]

Should I just call you "Snacks", then?

[you said you were looking for a nickname. this is how Allen Walker's brain works: through his stomach.]

[grigori]

Oh! I like it.

[ they'll chuckle. ]

[lefthandpath]

[what a simple fellow...]

Then, it's nice to meet you, Snacks. I'm Allen Walker.

[grigori]

The pleasure is all mine, Allen Walker. Shall I refer to you as Allen or Mr. Walker?

[lefthandpath]

Allen, please. Just Allen is fine.

Do you have any questions for me?

[grigori]

Some of the talents that you hold are what you'd typically find in a circus performer and it also read that you're good about "clowning".

So, do you agree with that? Are you clown, Allen?

[lefthandpath]

I am.

[grigori]

Wow.

I didn't expect to hear that response.

[lefthandpath]

I'm literally a street performing clown?

[why wouldn't he answer that?]

[grigori]

And an exorcist?

[ some people don't want to be considered a clown. ]

[lefthandpath]

[well those people are losers.]

That's right.

[grigori]

[ be clown and be proud. ]

That's not a combination that you hear too often.

[lefthandpath]

[only a little self-loathing. as a treat.]

Perhaps not, but it is what I am. Is that fine with you?

[grigori]

[ allen... ]

Perfectly fine with me. I judge no one.

Quite literally. I am here to watch you and not to judge you.

[lefthandpath]

Is that so...

Is there anything else you'd have me know for now?

[grigori]

Not right now.

I'm still shuffling through the information as much any of you are.
