I did. Or, I thought I was quite certain - you see, I have, erm, very little way forward without the wish. I certainly don’t intend to partake of the Devil’s deals on offer in the cases, but I am in great need of something as powerful as a Wish spell.
Do not take this as pressure, I am— I am quite creative after all. There will surely be another way. Because I am doomed man, I do not wish to damn you as well. You are a child. If I put you directly into harm’s way, I would be ashamed beyond all measure.
But I imagine you would not be seeking this without good cause - the risks are clear, the benefits laid out. I would not seek to rob you of this either.
I am dead. [ or. ] That is underselling, I suppose. I have been unravelled from the threads of the Weave so thoroughly as to be called “unmade.” Beyond the reach of the grasp of any Cleric, whether through resurrection magic or otherwise. If I simply wait, I will have lost important time in my mission - it could be too late even if by some miracle I remain reconstructed and alive at the end of this.
I need to find a way to turn back time. Something that is quite beyond the skill of most mages - and foolishly attempted by a few with disastrous results. I am not most mages. But still, it is not simple undertaking.
And selfishly, I think— I would like to live. You will have to forgive me for that.
If you are certain, then I will trust your judgment.

[ but while kate's expression is hard to read, she can see that he's nervous. ]
... Did you? If you prefer, I could try exploring other options first...
Though in the end, we either match or we do not.

I'm also... in a position where it will be difficult to move forward, if I don't have enough power. I'm ready to do whatever it takes.
no subject
What is your wish, if you don’t mind my asking?
no subject
... Something was stolen from my family. I need to get it back... and if not that, then I need the power to take it back myself.

and then it stops. ]
I understand. [ does she? that's a lot to unpack, actually. ] Truthfully, I'd like to know more about that, whether we match or not... but for now...
[ a formal bow. ]
Would you please tell me what your monster is?
no subject
Something called a Mothman. I’ve never heard of it personally.
[ all that drama for such a silly monster. ]
no subject
Then... I'm very sorry that I can't help restore you to life.
My monster is the Succubus.
no subject
Please do not apologize, it is hardly within your control.
If I hear of a match for you, I will gladly point them your direction if you so choose?
no subject
... Yes, please. Shall I do the same for you?
