[faithkept]

I'm not afflicted... I only wished to help.

[Okay sir.]

[fending]

Help how?

[faithkept]

Clearing their affliction.

[fending]

The ones you killed, or the ones who were already dead?

[faithkept]

Those that I sent to the others.

[fending]

...Are we talkin' about the same affliction here?

[faithkept]

[He places a hand on his chest, over his heart.]

One that corrupts our souls.

[fending]

But somethin' besides the entity we've been dealin' with here?

[faithkept]

The entity is a source of great evil... Perhaps that is the only enemy we face, here, but I fear for worse still.

[fending]

...Mate, I got no idea what you're talkin' about here.

You think everyone is corrupted by this other evil force that isn't the entity? And you were just starting your whole cleansing thing with those three, or what?

[faithkept]

[Shaking his head!]

The entity is causing corruption, undoubtedly. But this side is not safe.

[fending]

[ he is so convinced this is totally just the affliction talking because none of this makes any sense ]

So, what, you were just preemptively sending 'em over to the healing place?

[faithkept]

[Sometimes you are just truly lost in the sauce.]

Not preemptively... Though it's a safer place to be.

[fending]

What made you think those three in particular needed it, then?

[faithkept]

I've seen the cursed weight under which their souls buckle for myself.

[But he doesn't seem inclined to explain it any further.]

[fending]

[ frowns... as annoying as it is, he's beginning to accept that he's probably not going to get a satisfying answer to the "why" question. ]

...All right.

Can you say where the rest of Jacopo's body ended up?

[faithkept]

[AT THAT he frowns again and his expression is pinched with a little disgruntlement.]

It ought to have been in the car where his head was found.

[fending]

Wait, really? [ he was thinking he'd get some weird cryptic answer to that too. ] You think the team that investigated there just overlooked it somehow?

[faithkept]

[NO HE JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD.]

Surely not. I left it where it had fallen.

[fending]

...What the hell. Did the bloody wizards take it or somethin'?

[faithkept]

They were in a bit of a mood, but I have no idea what they would have wanted or needed a body for...

[UNCERTAIN. He does not know the ways of wizards.]
