ATLAS<br />

I'm only joking. Partially. But if you ever try ...<br />

HESPER<br />

I won't! Honestly, I'd hate to think that I'm controlling people against their<br />

will ...<br />

ATLAS<br />

I'm just happy you're the one with this power ... I know that a lot of people<br />

would be less selfless about it.<br />

Thanks?<br />

HESPER<br />

ATLAS<br />

Hey, it's ok. You're not the only one with morally questionable magic! I know<br />

plenty of people that can melt flesh from bone, myself included.<br />

Really?<br />

Kinda. Maybe.<br />

HESPER looks unimpressed.<br />

ATLAS<br />

I would show you some cool stuff, but I wasted all of my energy waking you up!<br />

HESPER<br />

How is that a waste! Am I not an absolute joy to be around?<br />

ATLAS<br />

Suuuuure.<br />

HESPER<br />

ATLAS<br />

(They sigh exasperatedly) Fine. I don't... I don't totally hate you.<br />

HESPER's face lights up.<br />

ATLAS<br />

Hey! Don't be getting all- I just find you slightly less annoying, ok?<br />
