We were all lacking, I am sure, else we would have been successful.

[he looks frustrated at the thought, but- well, nothing to be done about it now, is there?]

My apologies for departing so soon, as well. I had hoped we might be able to coordinate in the coming weeks, but if I do have a replacement, I will wish you luck in finding them.

[He looks... frustrated, and then momentarily, a little hopeless.]

I'm not sure if you know this already, but I have heard it is possible for the dead to be revived. I realize that is probably little comfort to go along with the dead being able to communicate with us.

In any regard, I don't believe this is the end of you, or your help to us, Emet-Selch.

[arkitect]

Of course it won't be. Do you think me so easy to be rid of? I am sure Leveilleur wishes it were so, but I do have a particularly resilient soul.

[he shrugs, at that.]

Death has never been the end for me.

[For a brief second, there is a wry twitch to his lips.]

I'll keep an eye on Archer and Hansa. I wish there had been a way to have known what happened with you sooner. I... could have helped keep us on the other path perhaps.

[arkitect]

It may have helped, but... I followed Archer's wishes, to an extent. Neither of us wished me to be someone to fall back upon.

[papasha]

I don't blame you. It isn't something I wanted either.

[arkitect]

...and yet here we are, and here I am awaiting the next death. Wishes do not count for much, in places such as this.

[He looks more frustrated than he does anything else. He looks sorry, but it isn't a hollow and superficial sorry, more a regret on their erring.]

Would you like for me to do anything for you?
