What condition?

[doublecrowss]

I'll be the only one chopping them down.

[ That way, maybe Akira won't have to lose any emotions. ]

[theshowsover]

That isn't fair. This was my idea.

[So they should be his consequences.]

[doublecrowss]

It was. And this is my condition. If there's a chance you might be punished for it, there's no way I'll allow that to happen.

[ And this is not negotiable! ]

[theshowsover]

And I don't want you to face the punishment alone.

[doublecrowss]

That leaves us with only one option, which is to not undertake this quest at all. Is this what you prefer?

[ Not! Negotiable! ]

[theshowsover]

Fine. We’ll do it your way.

[doublecrowss]

[ Good!!!

... maybe he feels a little bad, though. ]

I'm sorry if I seem unyielding. I hope you understand why I can't let you do this.

[ Feeling guilty over their last talk and all. ]

[theshowsover]

I get it. You’re stubborn. :)

[It’s only half a joke.]

It’s fine, though... I worry about you, too.

[doublecrowss]

Well, I can't deny that I am...

[ It's a half joke he's grateful for. ]

Regardless, I know that you do, as well. Would it perhaps make you feel any better if we treated this as... training?

[theshowsover]

Training for what?

[doublecrowss]

For dealing with this Town's whimsies.

As I've told you before, as much as I can stand my ground against whatever creatures it might throw our way, I seem to be weaker whenever our emotions are targeted. However, as long as I know what's coming, perhaps I can prepare myself this time?

[theshowsover]

Training yourself against emotion loss. It might be possible...

Alright. If you say so.

[doublecrowss]

That is what I'm hoping for. I don't think I can be fully immune to those changes, but perhaps I can at least lessen the effects.

[ Lessening the effects would be good, might even spare them from future troubles... ]

[theshowsover]

It's worth a try. Still feel like I should be chopping down a tree too, though, in that case...

[doublecrowss]

You never seem to be affected nearly as badly as me, though. Perhaps you're just that stubborn.

[ And he's calling Akira out here. He's on to you, boy!! ]

[theshowsover]

That's right. The town can't mess with me.
