🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- I think it's serious, - Ferus replied, pausing for a couple of seconds. - That is, if you don't take the context into account, of course; otherwise, the answer might not be so obvious.
"I wonder, is this a test, or was there some conversation or situation that preceded the question?"

- That's how it is, but I think the opposite.

Everything is great again, but some time later, due to some completely random stupidity or an ill-chosen word, you are banished, and this time it's all over - not only for your body but also for your soul. The end. - The man hands Ferus a cigar. - Xerxes Dioram could never find a reason to take such a life seriously... Here, have one; I guarantee its quality. - His face suddenly broke into an even wider smile. - There's no poison in them, don't worry.
