My business sense makes money. Money hires bodyguards. So I'd say mine is better in combat.

[dendarii]

You're running and hiding. Mine would do just fine for both.

[jacksonian]

Yeah, if you can find a faucet.

[dendarii]

Pipes, dammit. Pipes are everywhere.

[jacksonian]

And do you come out smelling like shit, too?

[dendarii]

Absolutely not. ... Just wet.

[jacksonian]

Yeah, wet with what?

[dendarii]

Water. Clean water, thank you very much.

[jacksonian]

Yeah, and if there's no water pipe around?

[dendarii]

... Creative application of my other talents. I did stall Lucifer nicely by shrinking the both of us.

[ And now he's here, in this fix. ]

[jacksonian]

[ What. ]

Is that why Lucifer hates you? Because you made him smaller?

[dendarii]

... He doesn't hate me. He's interested in me. That's far worse.

[jacksonian]

Yeah, and makes you feel far more important, I'm sure.

[dendarii]

I would happily trade whatever ego I get from this for safety in this instance.

[jacksonian]

So why don't you?

[dendarii]

There is no safety to be traded for. Only strategy.

[jacksonian]

Yeah? Are you really sure of that?

[dendarii]

Of course I am.

[jacksonian]

Okay.

[dendarii]

... Did you have any more questions?

[jacksonian]

Yeah, just one more. What will Lucifer do to me?

[dendarii]

Try to make you join him, probably. Promise you everything you want to hear.

[jacksonian]

[ Hah. Then it seems I already know the devil. ]

And what else?

[dendarii]

... I don't know. I suspect you'd end up tangled in my mess, though. One way or another.

[jacksonian]

Like I'm not already?
