WAX: speaking of your allies, I don’t know any of them past Wretch and Spit.
WAX: Wretch is…I don’t know her well.
WAX: but she was close to Wane. Wane saw themself as a mother figure to Wretch, and loved her dearly.
WAX: I wasn’t the best to her, and I can understand why she has reservations around me.
WAX: Wane and I were close, and loved each other dearly…but we didn’t always see eye to eye on how to raise our children.
WAX: not children by blood, of course. the relations they choose to have amongst themselves are their own deal. I know Grind and Wretch consider each other siblings, and Alloy sees Grind as a sort of uncle figure.
WAX: but, I digress…she has always come off to me as a strong spirit, even with her lack of abilities.
WAX: she’s needed a lot of help running her zone, and creating things. I worry about her often, especially now that Wane isn’t here to guide her.
WAX: and I don’t think I’d do a very good job of that.
VOIDSY: We care about her a lot.
WAX: well, then I hope you can.
WAX: she needs somebody who can help her, possibly more than anyone else in the pantheon.
WAX: my feelings on Spit are obvious, and I’ve said enough about that.
VOIDSY: Can you just…have your cats go rogue? Go with us, and not have to worry about Spit?
WAX: I’ve considered it, and I still am.
WAX: from what I’ve seen of you, you’re a god with a lot of heart. hearts, even.
WAX: but, you are a collective.
WAX: there may be parts of you that aim for objectives the majority does not.
WAX: and some of those objectives may be harmful to my cats, and the world I look over.
WAX: I hope you win, but I also hope you aren’t like Spit.
WAX: and until I see your actions, I can’t make that call.
WAX: they speak louder than words, after all.
WAX: prove yourself to me in the way you fight.
WAX: if you can prove that you are a kind, compassionate ruler, with what it takes to stand up against true evil…
WAX: I will have my cats join you.
WAX: but, if you prove to be just as sadistic as Spit…
WAX: I will smite you just as I would her.
WAX: the rest of your team deserves to win for sure, but you’re an unknown factor to me.
WAX: one I hope I can trust.
WAX: don’t let me down.
