Krauser? No. He would not be able to.

[leonheartedly]

Good. That's - that's really good.

[afineknight]

It should effectively undo what he did.

[leonheartedly]

[another faint nod, but no verbal response.

Though the way his fingers clench tighter probably says a lot, too]

[afineknight]

. . .

There is a "but," of course.

[leonheartedly]

. . . and that is?

[afineknight]

There is a non-zero chance that if we do this — if we permanently regress my age by ten minutes, I will forget everything that came after.

[leonheartedly]

So . . . everything that's happened here.

[afineknight]

Correct.

I can write myself a note and give it to you. I would still know you and therefore trust whatever you give me. And in the end . . . it can be rebuilt.

[ his life can't. ]

[leonheartedly]

Not a single person here would let you forget them for long anyway.

[afineknight]

. . . I don't want the potential to become common knowledge. It may not even happen.

[leonheartedly]

[he shakes his head]

You know I won't say anything. It isn't my place.

[afineknight]

Good.

. . . if it does happen, I have faith in your ability to get past my walls again.

[leonheartedly]

[afineknight]

Ha. Anyway, it might not even happen, so aside from a few contingencies, I'm not going to worry too much about it.

[leonheartedly]

. . .

I'll try not to worry about it either.

[afineknight]

I need to hear from the rest of Daffodil before making any final decisions, of course.

[leonheartedly]

[he takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, trying to. Calm today's emotional rollercoaster]

Of course. But you know what they're going to say.

[afineknight]

I need to hear it myself. For my own peace of mind.

[leonheartedly]

Yeah . . . I know.

[afineknight]

And then after that, I don't want to do anything until Charon has returned safe and sound. I made a promise to help him once he's returned and I'd like to fulfill that.

[leonheartedly]

Right, his health and safety should come first.

I wouldn't want you to do it without him here anyway.

[afineknight]

In general, I don't think it would be a bad idea to invite all of the shepherds when we do it. Or at least, the ones we know.

[leonheartedly]

. . . whichever way you go with that, the information should still get shared with whoever isn't invited.

[afineknight]

Oh, yes. Mostly, I don't know what to expect when we actually use it. And having an audience is . . .
