[termineur]

We're still here, so yeah. It has to be a new beginning. That's how it works.

[ He knows that with certainty. ]

So what do we do to convert?

[warriorscribe]

Oh, that's an easy one - I like those. I should enjoy more thought-provoking questions, but I haven't been well of late, I think. I don't have the stamina for them anymore.

[Oh, right. Question.]

Ah, but I'm rambling. In any case, it's simple: just follow this process. We'll guide you through it.

[termineur]

[ He seems a lot less annoyed at the response this time, as he nods thoughtfully. It didn't take long at all for him to believe the lies he was pointing at Enoch. Maybe this is for the best. ]

Okay. I'll do that.

[ He turns a concerned eye to Enoch, though. ]

You should take better care of yourself. We're relying on you.

[warriorscribe]

I will try, but while there are potential new converts among us, all of you are my first concern.

[At least that part's never changed...]

[termineur]

If you push yourself too hard, you can't help any of us, you know.

[ Just pointing that out. And looking mildly disapproving. No matter what incarnation of himself he's in, he's never approved of martyrdom. ]

[warriorscribe]

[Too bad, no matter what Norfinbury does to his brain, Enoch always puts himself last.]

I know. I'm hardier than I seem, trust me.

[In fairness, this is also true.]

Thank you for the concern, though. At this stage, it's rare to see, I believe.

[termineur]

[ He blinks, unsure where the 'concern' fit in. Was he concerned? Is this a friend of Mom's?

He frowns, unsure of himself entirely, and is silent for awhile. He's missing something- something important, but it's not clear what it is. Finally he shakes his head and looks back up to Enoch. ]

It's good, though- a good sign, right?

[warriorscribe]

[He's confused, that much Enoch knows. But all of them are. He's not sure what he may be thinking, but he's hoping any of this sticks with him. It's such a difficult process, and he'd like it to go as smoothly as it can.]

That you are concerned for my well-being? Of course, as it should be for everyone. As for your conversion, I think so - that you can set aside resentment at all is promising.

[termineur]

Oh, good.

[ That seems important, so he's glad. Any trace of the annoyed prisoner that Enoch met at the beginning of this talk is gone. He's reverted back to quiet, accommodating, unfeeling Gabriel. Surely the process will start up again before too long. ]

Tell me if I need to change anything. I'll help you if I can.

[warriorscribe]

You're doing perfectly well.

[He'd like to believe this is the more lucid version. Either way, shifting attitudes is nothing to be worried about in this state. He gives the prisoner a sincere smile.]

As long as you are as open to it as you are now, you won't have any trouble at all.
