[There is a shuffling sound, like someone restlessly pacing back and forth in a patch of grass. Then a cold, demanding voice speaks.]

We have been here for weeks now.

What have you lot learned about this world?

[finisaeternam]

You have no chance of reaching it before I do!

[counterattack]

You wanna bet?! It's two versus one! Actually, more than that, 'cause all my friends are here and we'll make easy work of it. It'd take you way longer to do on your own.

[finisaeternam]

When have I ever not been many steps ahead of you and those friends of yours?

[counterattack]

I'm pretty sure you know when.

[ he doesn't, himself, but he still has a good sense after their Little Talk. ]

[finisaeternam]

Never. I have always been ahead.

[He'd lost in the end but Lenegis had been involved in that. If he hadn't been lost in a trance, chained to a machine he would have dominated the world, he's sure of it.]

[counterattack]

Suuuure. Well, you won't be this time!

I mean, unless you want to help... y'know, as a team... where we're all contributing equally...

[ he will never let this go ]

[finisaeternam]

I already told you my conditions for that.

Acknowledge me as your lord and I will help you.

[That's what a team is, right?]

[counterattack]

Meh. I acknowledge you're a Lord, technically? I mean, you're the Lord of Absolutely Nothing here, but...

[finisaeternam]

I am your Lord. And Alphen's. I am the supreme ruler of our world and you all belong to me.
