I really am sorry about all these delays. Outrageously tired these days. Winter, man...
"Of course, it takes a little while before he can control a new host. In that time, he's at his most vulnerable. As it were, when I spied upon his final moments, I couldn't help but laugh at the situation he ended up in...his host went and got himself slain, and when Akomo thought to possess his killer next, the warrior went and used a vial of Demon Spit to petrify himself before the Demon could assume control. I found myself out of the two most troublesome pests of the time, so I kicked back and enjoyed a good century at my castle." Garlic finishes, shrugging with a smug look on his face. He seems to enjoy reliving the memory.
"But you didn't try to take over the world yet, huh?" You point out.
"...No, I didn't. There were still other heroes and potential rivals around, and my power was comparatively poor back then. I had only barely touched upon the sorcerous arts, and I needed to accrue quite the rare resources while biding my time to grow in strength and skill." He admits, a sour look on his face now. "I'm hardly the kind of person to go into something with a half-baked plan, you know. I like to prepare, even if it takes me hundreds of years to achieve my dreams." He says frustrated.
"Well, that hardly worked out for you last time. Maybe you should be a little more spontaneous!" You suggest with a laugh, causing Garlic to growl and clench his fists. A raised eyebrow from Grand Kai sees him immediately sweating and changing his body language, though.
"I'll take your advice into consideration." He says through clenched teeth, struggling to not be rude. "Now...I believe I've provided a great deal of valuable information to you, so if you would please hand me the fruit that was your part of the deal..." He asks, holding out a hand. One of his eyes twitch, and he nervously glances over to Grand Kai again, who seems to be watching impassively. You wonder how things went between the two as soon as you left...
>The information seems worthwhile to you, hand him the fruit. You're still keeping the seed, of course. A deal's a deal!
>The information was good, but...could have been better. You'd say it's worth half of a fruit.
>You're feeling pretty generous. Give him the whole fruit and the seed that he clearly wanted. Maybe a gesture of goodwill like that will help his rehabilitation down here.
>You changed your mind, you're going to keep the fruit and the seed both. And you'll eat the fruit right in front of him. Consider it one of Hell's little punishments, you rascal!
>Something else? (Write-in!)
