Yes, I understand your meaning. And for the record I'm undecided about my own involvement. If I do, I won't take Venus. And I won't expect it to be without reprisal, of course.

Is this a subtle plea for me to make sure she doesn't do something stupid?
If she sets her mind to it, you won't be able to stop her.
But, I would appreciate it if you would make sure she doesn't starve or try to cook for anyone should something happen to me.

You'd be surprised at what I could accomplish. But I hear your plea.

You'll have to be more specific. Besides, I only know two spells so it isn't as if it's difficult to figure it out.
I'm not from your world, I don't actually know what kind of spells you can do. But you did something to the building, I didn't catch what. I was a little distracted at the time. I just felt a release of energy, while I was cutting through the wall.
[He just ends up shrugging.]
I can't say I remember the specific circumstance. But all I can do is create swords and cast reinforcement magic.

Well, I guess then it would be reinforcement. Swords wouldn't have been entirely useful.
Yes. Thank you.
I suppose I should let you get back to work, though.
