Ails was ready to leave after concluding the business, but Malin had just received a job offer. After some thought, Malin decided to keep this guy around. "I've got a job to do, a discernment."
"Discernment? Sounds like I should quietly walk away, not become the spectacle itself. Are you sure I can go watch the show without becoming the show?" Ails asked warily.
Malin thought again—hey, maybe he was still treating this talkative lich too much like a person. After all, this guy was just a bag of bones; chatting away in his own territory or any other wilderness was no issue, but actually bringing him along might really turn out like he said, turning from a spectator to the spectacle.
That wouldn't be fun.
