Buddy: "It melted before, then was in a fridge, then melted again a little, and now it is okay. The taste might be a little off, but it is time to get rid of it."
Me: "Entire set of skills performed without us ever knowing."
Buddy: "Truly. You must have been a powerful god once who was later sealed inside a chocolate bar. Incredible."
LMAO

"Because I KNOW that I am right. Thank you very much. I do not need that to be pointed out. Haaa... I do not know if you all are eating the same candies, but it is not difficult. Even a very rough estimate shows around thirty percent increase in gold. I am talking FLOORS here, Archmagus. Entire floors of this tower are left unused WHILE the Order still owns them. When was the LAST time ANYONE even went ANYWHERE up there?"
"Mm."
"I am stating this on the simplest terms possible. The Knights could already make more use of them; they alone would shoulder a good deal of the otherwise dwindling budget. Actually, if the entire structure of The Trine was up to ME, I would start by abolishing-"
"Everything. Yes, Liandra. ...I understand. Back to the topic: One time, Lady Selestina somehow wandered to one of the floors, and opened a room that was magically collecting water for many decades! Made me ponder why Demons have so many curses, and expressions like pick-up lines, when they do not think that way. Interesting. Anyways. I found the cascading flood all the way down to the entrance very impressive. Alas, only one other person shared the notion. At the very top, there is a small completely dark empty room that suppresses any and all Magic. Most curious. That is all we know. Another such, but this time massive room is deep under the tower. You can never tell what is in many of the rooms. For how long. Skeletons in the walls! Sadly, we have been reduced to... this. The bottom line is: The Crystal Tower is very... Do not touch."
"As I was SAY- ...Archmagus, you just write... approved... on all the scrolls."
"Indeed. Creates the least amount of enemies, and nobody is going to open them after they are archived. Ever again. Done and done."
"Kill me, please."
"Mh? Is that an official request? I need two more signatures."
"Ghh... ...Lemrey would make the same joke."
"Hahaha! I can imagine! Haaa... I told him not to do that."
"And THAT is EXACTLY why he does. He looks up to you, and thinks you are challenging him. ...Goddess, he even has an Attuned Magic Stone attached to him at almost all times! ...Well, I am glad he attuned the one I got him. Hmmhm."
"There are just those days when you might need to blow yourself up! I have mine right here!"
"Hrrh... Well, anyway. If it was up to ME, I would have sent you out instead."
"Yes, well, so would I, Liandra. Things are what they are, and people have their reasons. Here is another thing. If the worst comes to worst, and this place becomes dangerous... Let me put it this way: If I encounter anyone, I do not hesitate. Folks here realize this."
"..."
"I hope you know how hard it would be for me to look into his face if something happened to you specifically. Inquisitor, you are currently safely sitting on your butt here, so I suggest you recognize that, pipe down, and help with at least something before I move it to the realm of making that an order."
"...Nhhg..."
"Good day, Miss Liandra!"
"Kchmph."
"Hello, Quint!"
"Well, well, Mya! Thank you for your work! Welcome to the almost dried-up koi pond!"
"Ehehehe! ...Hair right here. Hee hee! ...Quint, um... What do think of this invoice?"
"...Very impressive. It is... something. Hm. How shall we do this..."
"Uuuuuu... Quiiiiint..!"
"Mya. Mya. I will go with you to absorb the initial impact. Afterwards, you will have to deal with it, all right? You do need to learn from these things as well."
"Mmmmhm... Okaaaay... Uuuu..."
"Or, as Archmagicians, we make use of our rank to ask Liandra here. Hm?"
"...Ehehehe, I-I do not think that is f-fair, Quint!"
"E-Exactly. Hrr-hm."
"Hahaha! Well then... Let's hope that by the time she is finished, and we get there, Crystana gets attacked by Demons, and every single Clause fires off that makes all of these papers and scrolls instantly voided!"
