"The crystal of the Architect. A... badge of office, as it were. What effect it will have on you, I cannot say. If you find no other use for it, simply give it to Hythlodaeus once you meet him."
"...Hades. I am Hades... or what Hythlodaeus remembers of him. My place is here, between the city and the fire. Between Amaurot's past and its future."
"...A sweet sentiment, yet one I must needs refuse. The fire you've quelled is only part of his fears. More will come. Thus I stay here, as one of his guardians."
"Much has happened, indeed. I do not know all of it, because Levity does not, either. But... mayhap you should say that to the real Alexander, too. He would appreciate the reassurance."
On the one hand that's really sweet. On the other, sir your comprehension ability.
"Allow me to put it this way. The bird is a part of Levity that was separated from him - a piece of his being. I am something he created, not something he is. Once this is over, I will return to his mind no matter what. The bird, however, and the other pieces of him you may find, can become lost or damaged. I am but a personification of a defense mechanism, and this is the place where I can carry out my task of protecting him."

[ THANKS HE NEEDED THAT ]
Oooooooooh I'll ask him whenever I, uh. Get outta here.
no subject
"Do so. He would be wanting to thank you, anyway."
He holds out his hand, a purple crystal floating just above his palm.
"... You may need this. Take it."

Am I supposed to wear it? Hold it? Eat it?

buddy. concern for your memory.
He steps closer and tiptoes a little to pat Klaus on the head.
"Good. Now... You should head for the tower. Worry not for me."
no subject
I can take the chicken with me, right?
no subject
"You positively must. He is part of Levity, one that needs to be returned to him. It does not do to be... incomplete."
no subject
[ scritches the chicken ]
Doesn't that mean I should take you along with me too?
