More like if I ask you 'is this a dream, or is this real', you tell me the truth. A pinch would tell me nothing, I feel pain both in reality and in dreams.
I don't make threats. I make promises. .... though I guess it is also a threat, yes.
[Shadow huffs again and looks away]
We're almost there, aren't we. [He looks back at Watanuki. His expression is neutral, but he's hung around the hedgehog enough to pick up on that touch of worry there] Is it... going to be alright?
... I'm almost a bit more worried about what awaits everyone back at the Foundation than what has yet to come here. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Oh, I have an idea for that already. I know some won't be going back, but for those who choose to, I'm not going to just put them back right where they were.
Well, I suppose you owe them that much, for all they've done for you.
[a month ago he would have said that same sentence with so much venom. But today it's just as casual as you please; a statement of fact and not cruelty]
Speaking of wolves, I'd like to keep mine if that's possible. .... hey. Actually. I meant to ask... is there a fragment out there where the Foundation is just a story?
I owe them so much more than that, but it's a start at least.
[And a month ago he would have been talking about exact prices and how they earned a specific amount of karma to spend on wishes. Oh how things have changed.]
I think we can work something out for your wolf. As for that fragment, I would have to look, but I imagine there is one. Why?
Good. He's a useful familiar, and I'd like to actually get to use his motorbike form somewhere where I can actually ride. [Shadow's back spines suddenly flare out into a pair of fluffy black owl wings] And these. I haven't had much use for them, yet, but I like them. [Shadow puts them away] Oh... just curious, for my own petty reasons. They treat those from 6350 worse than dogs, because we're "not real". How I'd love to prove to them that their existence is every bit as tenuous...

So what? You want me to pinch you to make sure you're not dreaming?

But it's more fun to usurp your expectations and see you get frazzled.

And I think we'll be alright. I have faith in everyone.
