Story transcript
Echidna: Welcome to my Citadel, Archbishop. It is rare to meet the current host of my former Witch Factor.
Echidna: Please, have a seat. Drink.
Regulus Corneas: A seat? Drink? You say that so casually, as if you have the right to dictate my posture and my diet.
Echidna: Fascinating. Your authority, Lion’s Heart, allows you to stop your own time, making you an unmovable object.
Echidna: Tell me, do you feel the burden of the world halting, or is it a localized stasis?
Echidna: My thirst for knowledge demands to know.
Regulus Corneas: Demand? Did you just say demand?! Who gave you the right to casually pry into a man’s heart?
Regulus Corneas: To think a woman I just met would boldly violate my privacy and claim ownership over my time...
Regulus Corneas: Isn’t that just the height of arrogance?!
Regulus Corneas: I am a man of small desires! I seek only to have my rights respected!
Regulus Corneas: And yet, here you sit, looking down on me with your ‘thirst for knowledge’!
Regulus Corneas: You are infringing upon my right to satisfy myself!
Echidna: (He is entirely unteachable. No intellect. No depth.)
Echidna: (Just a hollow, walking brick wall of pure entitlement.)
Echidna: I see. Conversation with you is a tragic waste of breath.
Echidna: Let us see if your invincibility holds up to Al Shamak.
Regulus Corneas: Witches, Archbishops... you all think you’re so special. But in front of my satisfaction, you are nothing.
Echidna: Get out of my realm. You are, without a doubt, the most self-entitled creature I have ever encountered.
Regulus Corneas: Hey! Don’t you dare dismiss me! That is a violation of my right to be heard...! And I dismiss myself first!
