❝But I tell you, do not swear
an oath at all:
either by Heaven, for it is God’s throne;
or by the earth,
for it is His footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the
city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even
one hair white
or black.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No';
anything beyond this comes from
the evil one.
—Matthew 5:34-37

[He'll slide to the bar in silence. He's already said everything he felt he needed to earlier today - there's no need to hash it out further. But to see how many people are down here visibly frustrates him.]

Are you pleased with yourself?

[falsehymn]

( hehe )

In truth, I'm quite anxious. But, what was it you said? So long as you don't give up, there's still a chance?

( They tilt their head. )

Would you like a drink?

No. If it's all the same to you, I'd rather stay clear headed right now.

[There's only so much overthinking of the details he can do. But he's not a fool. He knows what Sika has hanging over his head.]

[falsehymn]

It doesn't really matter.

( He smiles. )

You're rather upset for a man who hasn't been made to do anything.

[impacter]

You know exactly why I'm upset.

[DON'T RUB IT IN....]

[falsehymn]

Then remain upset, if you wish.

May your time here be fruitful.

So long as you remember my offer, I will survive a little anger.
