Desire. I did something stupid with Desire.

[ Breathy shriek: ] Katurian. [ Breathe breathe. ] You're not actually dying, are you?

[goryteller]

No. God, no. [He chokes out something between a laugh and a cry.] I'm going to be all right.

voice

[remarkablyspry]

Ex...cuse me, sir. [a little nervous AHEM.] Ah, but...You sound a little rattled! At least, I've been around a few humans before and known them to sound like that when they're rattled, if you can understand what I mean.

Are you certain everything is all right?

[goryteller]

O-Oh. You're not a-- Oh.

[An uncomfortable pause.]

I am sure I'm all right. Thank you for your-- [Pause.] Thank you. Who is this?
