[Nephrite]

Do you mean 'you' as in 'Moore' or other than that? Just clarifying since I think it'd be obvious to Moore but it isn't to me.

[Anastasia]

Moore, yes.

[Nephrite]

'Why should I use this?'

10/18

[Anastasia]

'It can remove the deepest sorrows and pains of evil.'

[Nephrite]

Can it, now? Hm, maybe they can come to some sort of agreement...?

'What is the next most important thing I need to know about this harp?'

[Anastasia]

'It is never safe, but you are skilled enough to strum it.'

[Nephrite]

'Is there anything else about it I need to know right now?'

His avatar will speak to Sylvie and Antenora while he focuses on the harp.

It's called the Last Tear. It was likely made by Anthraxus or someone older. It destroys the body, mind and soul - but it can be used to purge someone of deepest sorrows of pain and evil. We need to find a way to get this out of his hands or agree to work with him to keep it.

If either of you have any quick ideas now is the time.

[Anastasia]

We are at a disadvantage at trickery. Perhaps blunt force is more effective.

[Nephrite]

Perhaps that was his plan all along? He might know everything I know and this is just a scheme.

But we can't let ourselves get to that level - if we do this, we do it open and honestly, even if we are at a disadvantage. It would sully our names to do anything less.

[Anastasia]

Do as you will, but wisely. I will support you.

[Nephrite]

We do things openly and honestly. Sylvie, what do you think? Besides all my ideas being bad.

[Anastasia]

At this juncture the idea's better than trying to win oneupsmanship with an ancient fiend.

[Nephrite]

Then let's return to his last question: 'Is there anything else about it I need to know right now?'

[Anastasia]

'Yes.'

[Nephrite]

'What is it that I need to know about the harp I need to know right now?'
