Love's a gimmick

[Paxton Ames]

That sounds incredibly risky for you, to chip your own soul. For me.
When you can simply deactivate me.

What does all of this mean? You sound as if you already know.

[Elias Tate]

Deactivation is only a last resort.

And I don't know anything. It doesn't
It's not really
I just have theories.

[Paxton Ames]

Then tell me your theories

Please

[Elias Tate]

Well...

I'd rather be certain...

[Paxton Ames]

If you are right, this is something that will get us both

Deactivated

Correct?

[Elias Tate]

No no.
I don't think so.

It shouldn't.

[Paxton Ames]

Hm

Perhaps you should not tell me too much anyway

The King may be watching at any moment...

[Elias Tate]

...
Over something like this?

[Paxton Ames]

I have taken care to keep this hidden from him but I would prefer not to take chances

[Elias Tate]

Then I won't say anything unless I'm certain.
Theories are only theories, anyway...
I'll know more with actual information.

[Paxton Ames]

All right. I will leave it to you then.

When can I expect you?

[Elias Tate]

Soon. Probably within the week.
Like I said, they have the golem expert they want now.
They're not even going to miss me.

[Paxton Ames]

I am sure that is not true. You are perfectly capable.
But

I can confess that I am looking forward to seeing you again. It has been too long

[Elias Tate]

It has been a long time, hasn't it?

Just concentrate on your work, all right?
I'll be there before you know it.

[Paxton Ames]

Is that a direct order from the creator himself?
