Kesara's gonna hate having her in town.

[bywolves]

Could be competition. Or they could be allies.

[ Sound familiar? ]

[devoutish]

Or she could be a teacher, yeah? This new girl is more sheltered, less experienced.

[bywolves]

She's nobility. [ So, yes. ] Her Corvo has taught her a few things. Kesara can round out the rest.

[devoutish]

Better than having 'em at each other's throats, eh?

[He thinks that would be much more likely from Kesara's side, but.]

[bywolves]

Much better. I'm not looking to break up any fights. [ A beat. ] I'm also not sure how I've managed to end up a babysitter.

[devoutish]

[He'd make a joke about Royce being the one being babysat, if he didn't think he'd take it badly.]

You like kids, yeah? You're all right with 'em.

[bywolves]

[ He kind of is being babysat by Emily, honestly. ]

I don't like them or dislike them any more than I like or dislike adults. I don't treat them any differently either. They're just as capable, if not more, because they're underestimated.

[devoutish]

Not all of 'em have had to grow up as fast as you did.

[bywolves]

They'll have to, here.

[devoutish]

Some of 'em get protected. Frisk does.

[bywolves]

Doesn't do them much good. If whoever is protecting Frisk dies and doesn't come back, the kid will be helpless.

[devoutish]

You don't think someone else would step in?

[bywolves]

Probably. They shouldn't.

[devoutish]

Yes, they fucking should.

[Jesus, Royce.]

[bywolves]

What good is that going to do them? You can't coddle someone forever.

[devoutish]

You can coddle 'em a bit when they're an eight-year-old girl.

[Or however old Frisk is.]

[bywolves]

[ Nobody coddled Royce when he was eight and he - turned out... yeah okay, bad example. ]

Or you can let them learn early that life is going to do whatever it can to kick you in the mud, rather than let them believe a lie.

[devoutish]

You do not have the most healthy mindset on this, mate.

[Just saying.]

[bywolves]

[ That makes him pause! ] That doesn't make what I'm saying less true.

[devoutish]

Mm.

[Whatever, Royce.]

Listen, mate. The obituaries are gonna be coming up, yeah?

[bywolves]

Yes. I've been thinking about that. Not much I can do to stop it.

[devoutish]

Am I right in thinking that the name that'll show up might not be "Duster"?

[bywolves]

[ Now he sounds amused. ] No, you've found the source of my childhood trauma, Solomons. My parents named me Duster and I was teased mercilessly for it. That's why I kill people who insult me.

[devoutish]

How much do you care about everybody finding out your real name?

[Should they find a way to run damage control somehow?]
