[When Alice's voice comes, it is very... quiet. Distant. She doesn't actually sound like she's speaking to anyone in particular, at least at first.]

They're not safe here...

This world is going to make them suffer more and more...

...I need to protect them...

But how do I do that, when I can't stop those things that would hurt them...

[It sounds like just idle musing at this point, as if she's trying to contemplate a real answer to this.]

One way or another, I cannot allow that... No matter what anyone says, I know it will come again...

They won't suffer again. I... there are ways I can make sure of that, I am certain... I know I can stop it, some way...

Then I can only hope that you will not have any regrets. For your sake.

[rosettawall]

So long as I have protected my precious people from suffering, what could there be to regret?

[She was sounding less desperate than she had in the initial message so that was at least an improvement]

[He refrained from saying .. "a lot of things" or "it isn't always that simple". He'd said enough along those lines already]

Not a thing. [If he'd succeeded in saving his people.. if they were all still alive and if he'd been able to convince his father to abandon his way of thinking... if everything could have turned out the way he intended then there would be no regrets. These thoughts were getting into dangerous territory for an assassin. It was the templars that wanted to control everyone and here he was thinking about what it would be like to have total control...]

My earlier offer still stands but I know now that I will have to earn your trust before you believe me.

[rosettawall]

Trusting someone new right now would be too much of a danger to Mana-chan and Rikka-chan. I simply cannot allow that.

As it is, I think you could be quite dangerous. You are far too curious!

[givemelee]

This Mana-chan and Rikka-chan must be friends of yours.. [Doesn't realize the "chans" are suffixes and not part of their names. Japan's never really come up before in his place and time]

I won't deny that I could pose a threat if we ever find ourselves on opposing sides, but at this time I can not imagine that ever coming to pass.

[He's not into murdering kids....Maybe when you're older and go mad with power or join the Templars]
