[Things have been... odd for Tyrannus, the past few days. Since Twister used his wish to... make Clive better, for the most part Tyrannus has been avoiding him. And the rest of the DR, for that matter. There are a lot of things that he's needed to get his head around, and it's only now that he's even begun to work around some of the issues in his mind. Twister's wish can only do so much; his attachment to him (to Roulette) is tied up in so much else. Abandonment issues that he's had since his parents died, all the mess of what could have been (and what this place brings back so much because it looks more like his pagoda than Layton's, more like the plans he never put on paper than the building Layton made with what plans there were) and the even worse mess of what was.

It's hardly surprising that he's only just now venturing out again.

Come poke him?]

Clive.

~~[You ungrateful little shit.]~~

[~~wow, rude.~~

Tyrannus jumps, whirling around to face him.]

...Hershel.

I... haven't seen you since the end of the last event.

[He's curious as to what affect his wish had on Tyrannus, but doesn't want to ask directly.]

...yeah. It's been...

[He shrugs vaguely, running a hand through his hair and biting his lips.]

I don't even know. It's been weird.

Having a part of yourself altered so drastically should be nothing short of jarring.

Descole was convinced this is what was best for you.

Jarring. That's... a word for it.

[He sighs.] As for Jeanne, I... have no clue whether she's right yet.

In time we will all find out.

It... needed to be done, Clive. You needed it.

Mmm.

There's still... I don't know how much of it was just me yet, rather than Layton's influence.

That we will find out. Though my personal Clive was never so dependent before I took him under my wing. While I doubt that will be the same for you personally, it is a factor I'm considering.

I've had... issues with it since my parents, though. Particularly with you.

[Well. With Roulette. But nonetheless.]

I... only met you briefly during your childhood, Clive.

Yeah. I know.

Doesn't really change things, though.

Very well.

[He looks at the wall, just over Clive's shoulder.]

If the wish was indeed wasted then that would be most regrettable.

Hey, I've been away from you by choice for days. It's obviously had some impact.

You've realised what a vile person I am and that I'm not worthy of your time?

No.

I just... needed time.

Very well.

Do you continue to need said time?

I don't know. Nothing makes sense right now.

In that case, the last thing I'd recommend is spending more time with either Roulette or myself, if I'm honest.

Him, really? After what he did to me?

I hoped you'd be that wise, but one can't help but worry regardless.

Thanks for the vote of confidence in my judgement, Hershel.

You're in a relationship with me.

And you're in a relationship with this whole fucking place.

[How did you know about Peacoc- ...Oh, you don't mean literally.]

That is untrue.
