No multitasking today? Got it.

I finished the book. And one Archer gave me. It wasn’t on the same subject. It was about the same length, though.

Are you death tolling? Did that Corvo guy kill you too?

Oh. Because of the surgery you had to arrange for Eiffel?

[He just answers like Jedao typed words. Also he didn’t see what a shitshow happened in Jedao’s post. He read the part with the plan and it seemed in good hands, so he left it alone.]

[Not worth it.

He’ll accept Malcolm’s help when he doesn’t actually need it. So there are no stakes. For him. Malcolm thought he’d offered him help because he wanted to be friends, but he was being wardened all along. Like with the glitter.]


Clearly I have wanted your help, because I’ve asked for it. What I’ve… not wanted is to be… repaired, like a defective machine. That’s where I’ve tried to draw lines.

Sorry to… pester you. I’ll talk to you later. When you’re feeling better.
