"This is a cheri extract incense." Bahamut felt like a broken record. "The cheri berry is used for paralysis... where the body struggles to move. But stress can stiffen the body's muscles. Create tension. Back home... I used this to help soothe tense, aching muscles. You're welcome to try it."...

"A little over a week perhaps. Though you're not really taking in the actual incense. Just some residual vapors from the device." Bahamut lifted his tail to show the incense device.

So this was how his offer was being met. Sidestepped like a carcass in the middle of a trail. Bahamut should've figured. It wasn't like he was really liked... or that he was doing a good job of even trying to be liked. Why had Diyem brought him here, again? Probably because he sensed an aura as...

What kind of brew was this skarmory drinking? He sounded as daft as some of the beggars Bahamut had the misfortune of encountering when they bumbled into Etherium's distortion. "This is cheri incense." Bahamut kept his tail wrapped around the container. "It's a muscle relaxant I've spent the...

"I cannot smell, either. I tested the incense on willing townsfolk." Bahamut crossed his upper wings. "It's not an offering. It's a muscle relaxant. For healing purposes."

"Soup? Hardly. I cannot eat or drink." Bahamut curled his tail around the incense container. "This is a cheri incense. I've spent over a week trying to craft it."

It had been a frustrating time and a number of failures and wasted cheri berries — not that Bahamut could taste them anyway — but he finally reached a point where he had a sufficient amout of working cheri incense. Bahamut had pooled it all into an appropriate container. He hoped the kecleon...

I do not know why you all chose to adopt a name I was only using for my badge. Do as you please.

Bahamut's grin didn't falter. "Then you must also trust in what he asked of me... which is to 'reign in the bleeding hearts should it become necessary.' Again, if you don't like it, take it up with him." He floated up from Cabot. "I'm going somewhere else. Take care little one." And Bahamut...

"I only brought it up because our fearless leader offered similar sentiments when I figured out his true identity." Bahamut chuckled. "If you have a problem with it, perhaps you should take it up with him?"

"I prefer not to take such chances. However, we are interlopers in this world." Bahamut cracked another grin. "Perhaps I'll just leave decisions like that to the actual inhabitants of this planet."

"Accepting a Dark Matter does not mean you're befriending them," Bahamut said. "Look at our boss. Even though no one aside from the plant is giving him grief over his secret, I do not think you'd find many folks calling him their friend. Perhaps you and Owen. But you two share the same beliefs...

Bahamut shrugged. "Then we will accept this alternate Dark Matter for what it is. Maybe our boss could absorb it into his own consciousness."

"I was a star once, little one," Bahamut chided, flicking a small amount of water in Cabot's direction. "It's only natural I'd want to speak with my brethren." It was pointless continuing to reason with this cranidos. "It's clear to me that the eternatus here and the one home are two very...

It seemed that the little cranidos had selective hearing. "As I told you... those who are in power would rather the populace remain blissfully ignorant than face their grim reality." Bahamut turned toward the sea. "Likewise, even if His Darkness sent you all to Etherium with his protections...

Bahamut bowed his head slightly. "You told me not to give up on my world, right? What if I told you that the only way to ensure Etherium's survival would be to free Eternatus? It would extinguish all life on the planet... but the planet itself would survive, allowing the cycle of life to begin...

"You hesitated quite a bit there, little one. And that stuttering..." He leaned closer to Cabot. His beak pushed against the cranidos' head. "Could it be... that you were trying to justify heinous actions to yourself? Actions that you personally disagreed with... but went through with anyway?"

"I have heard such an idea many times... including on Etherium itself." Bahamut didn't budge an inch. He offered Cabot no real indication how he was feeling. Just his usual pensive gaze. Difficult to discern with his lack of pupils and different colors bubbling around. "Then answer me this, my...

"Empire." Bahamut clasped his lower wings together. "Perhaps such a phrase holds a different connotation on your planet. Where I'm from, an empire refers to several territories living under the rule of a single authority figure." He shook his head. "And I do not believe that such power should be...

"And that tells me everything I need to know. You wouldn't be able to do it." Blue and purple expanded in Bahamut's eyes. "It would be so nice if things could work out like in fairytales. Everyone gets a happy ending and even those with less altruistic motives learn their lessons." He shook his...
