Chapter 150

Maybe it was just my starved need for comfort in this strange and fucked up world, but the fact that elder went to bat for me… felt nice.

That in no way makes up for the shitty behavior, but it was something.

The need to pivot the conversation away and back to what matters—it giving me the ‘recipe’ for the nodule—is overwhelming, when it hits me I should have better manners than that.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

“Thank you elder for standing up for me and defending me.”

The almost compulsive need to add ‘even though all this could have been avoided had you not revealed my existence in the first place’ hits me but I manage to quell that urge.

“You are welcome guardian. In truth I am beginning to lament ever informing them of you and your activities.”

What the fu—how the hell did it just—did it just read my fucking mind? My non existent hackles are very much raised at this point.

Yeah I’m happy it said it not me but having someone repeat exactly what I was about to say was fucking freaky.

I didn’t say anything for a long while.

Finally i say, “Elder can you tell me how you make the translation nodule?”
