[A deep, rumbling baritone voice speaks.]

I am here.

Who has summoned me?

You underestimate my curiosity, then.

I've been a general in a thousand wars so of course I wonder about military minds from other worlds. Wouldn't you?

[leitstern]

That is another point where we differ.

My curiosity extends towards their knowledge; not their character.

[eightfoldfiend]

Is your knowledge not what I've been asking about?

[leitstern]

Yes but you surely know that being one's source of entertainment is tiresome?

[eightfoldfiend]

Oh, I am not asking to be entertained.

If I were seeking entertainment at your expense this exchange would be going much differently.

[leitstern]

Of course it might.

But should you admit one path is more dangerous than the other? I cannot recommend making presumptions.

[eightfoldfiend]

My line of questioning was to determine if you were the sort of man who would summon someone like me.

[leitstern]

If I was, I should have made it obvious before you broadcast your nature to all and sundry. So either way you have your answer.

[eightfoldfiend]

Bah! I don't broadcast my nature... But I see no reason to keep it a secret either. I am what I am.

Does that trouble you?

[leitstern]

Do you suppose I would speak of it with you were it the case?

[eightfoldfiend]

Answering my question with another question?

I shall take that as a "yes".

[leitstern]

Take it as whatever you like. You are hardly my responsibility.

[eightfoldfiend]

A military strategist saying I am not his responsibility? HAH!

...Now this is an interesting change of pace.

Hmm...

[leitstern]

Congratulations.

But I hardly wish to talk more and there is much to do. I hope you don't catch your death of boredom in the meantime.
