If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

[Wow that's... a lot. But maybe that's just how people are sometimes? Hope still has so much to learn about the emotions of the creatures here. He hasn't really been paying attention to what's been going on, anyway - maybe one of his colleagues has caused this.

But hey. Not really his problem, when he just doesn't know the reason for this.]

I do appreciate the thought. I very much want to recover as well. But for now, at least, I am safe - and I am not alone. The other gods are here, and now you are here as well.

[Maybe his friend leaving has upset him?]

You can stay as long as you like, if you feel alone.

[Now that...that is what he definitely wants to hear. His face brightens, happiness into an adoration and thankfulness bordering on obsession.]

I can? I really can? I would love it if you let me stay! Forever!

It will probably get very dull. Most of the time I am not here at all. But of course, you can stay regardless.

[It doesn't cost him anything to let someone hang out. And Hayden seems fine. Everything's fine here.]

[demonsional]

That's okay! It's your temple so it's your place and that's good enough for me!

[It's absolutely fine. Completely.]

Thank you thank you thank you Lord Mister Hope!

[lingeringhope]

Thank you too. I certainly appreciate all that you have done.
