[ausgebrannt]

Reasonably certain, yes. He seems to be the Mollymauk I remember. I do not know if I believe Lucien could be quite so convincing through the handicap of his ego. But it would not be a bad idea to verify. I am, unfortunately, not capable of any truth spells. That is more, well, your remit.

[A sigh, and then in a quieter tone, softly hopeful.]

I want to believe it really is Mollymauk. Before we lost him.

[blessingofthetrickster]

I might have to wait a little bit to see if it is him. I don't know if I can exactly get through to Artie here.

[She purses her lips.] I believe you, Caleb. if you think it's Molly, then it's Molly.

[She takes a deep breath then lets it out in a very dramatic fashion.] So I think telling him he's dead is not an option?

[ausgebrannt]

Then we will have to trust our instincts, ja? And perhaps keep just a hint of caution.

[Just in case. But. Right yes that.]

Ha. That is... the difficult question. Do we tell him? It seems cruel to tell him. It seems dishonest not to.

[Hmm.] Would you want to know? If you were in his very fancy boots?

[blessingofthetrickster]

I think maybe we tell him something happens? I don't know exactly what happened, except there was a fight. Maybe... maybe we give him the option to know? Let him decide?

[That seemed best, right?] I think I would want to have a choice.

[ausgebrannt]

I would too. I believe I would want to know. So we extend that grace to Mollymauk.

[A pause.]

Gently. With perhaps all of us together. And liquor.

[blessingofthetrickster]

Lots of booze. I think we might all need it.

...but maybe keep Veth away from it?

[ausgebrannt]

[He manages a little chuckle at that.]

Perhaps so. Though she has it in hand.

[Caleb does have to wonder though.]

Essek and I have been here for more than a year now... and of all the Exandrians who have been here, none have been anyone I have known from back home. But now there is you and Veth and Mollymauk. I wonder if we should expect the others to follow.

[blessingofthetrickster]

I wouldn't tempt it, you know? If all of us are showing up so suddenly, then maybe it is a sign!

We should put together something to prepare everyone. Like 'instructions on surviving your first month' or something!

[Jester's excitement dies down a little.] I'm really glad I'm here with you, Caleb. But I'm sad we're stuck here without everyone else. We all deserve to be home.
