[chronosynthesis]

Hm... what is your greatest regret?

[atouts]

That would be playing this game.

[chronosynthesis]

Is that because you are very assured in your decisions, or because you expect the worst right now...?

[atouts]

No, it's because I don't play by the rules and lie.

[chronosynthesis]

... Do you even want to be here?

[atouts]

What, you mean playing this game? Not particularly, no.

[chronosynthesis]

Well, it will be uncomfortable for both of us to force you.

[atouts]

You may be far too kind for a game like this, Syrlya. [ because most would regardless. he thinks about the initial question for another second or two before finally admitting, ] Going after that bear along, back in Eden. I don't hold onto regrets much at all but that one was pretty bad.

[chronosynthesis]

I've yet to get to Strange. [And there has to be some mutually willing component to embarrassing themselves.

But he nods. That one he can understand.] At least the consequences for it were not worse.

[atouts]

Try not to dare him to jump off anything higher than a footstool. [ some people want Strange existing in one piece. ] And yes, it could have been far worse.

[ that said... ]

So do I ask you truth or dare next?

[chronosynthesis]

I promise not to encourage any permanent injury. [Only great embarrassment.]

Hm, dare.

[atouts]

Would daring you to dye your hair a terrible and bright color take too long?

[ hair? foliage? whatever. ]

[chronosynthesis]

... Hm. I suppose that would depend on the method, but I am not actually sure if it will hold given the Blue Rose's influence. [Maybe like half of it would dye properly?] What color were you thinking of...?

[atouts]

Orange?

[chronosynthesis]

[... Sighs.] Give me a moment.

[He's going to leave. And come back in like 20 minutes with the wine-colored half now a garish orange blending into the blue tips.]

[atouts]

[ you know, even though he expected Syrlya to try, he hadn't actually anticipated seeing it happen. ]

That's... a color. [ it sure is. ] How do you even dye leaves that fast?

[chronosynthesis]

Sylvari can alter their appearance... usually, when there are not external factors changing them instead. [Like fae magic and dye.] I suppose you could consider it an extension of our ability to manipulate the shape and growth of plant life.

[atouts]

Really? So you just change whatever you feel like changing, whenever?

[chronosynthesis]

That's right. I have been comfortable with the appearance I was originally grown in, however.

[He's not keeping the orange.] Is my turn to ask again, isn't it? Truth or dare.

[atouts]

Truth.

[chronosynthesis]

If you knew how things would become, would you still have made your contract with the Ringmaster?

[atouts]

[ oh, there's a difficult one. Childermass is silent for a moment, just mulling it over before, ]

No. I've gained so much from this deal but if I had known back then it would go from magic tricks for a year to a fighting for my life, no, I wouldn't have...

[chronosynthesis]

Truthfully, I feel the same. [But they're here now, and there's no turning that back around.] Was your contract willing? I remember that some people were recruited as punishment...

[atouts]

It was. I came here looking for the answer to a problem I had and a year and a day was a cheap price to pay.
