[Dictated]

[lightbranded]

 [It had taken Will a very long time to figure out why he kept feeling so weak.  To understand the pattern.  But at long last he thought he had figured it out.

The castle had taken away his ability to be alone.  And he could not bear this alone any longer.  It was time to seek out a solution.]

Hullo?  This is a bit of an odd question, but I am wondering if anyone would be willing to take on a roommate.

[ Its the guy who helped him. ]

... If no other offers...

[lightbranded]

You're the first one to respond.

[radiantwingedone]

... Ah.

If gain no further offers... I have a cat and a large bird. [ So Will would be rooming with a hermit and his company. ]

[lightbranded]

I wouldn't mind that. I do like animals. If you wouldn't mind a roommate, I mean.

[radiantwingedone]

... As far as can tell, would not mind you as roommate. Others, hard to answer.

[lightbranded]

Ah, I'm not sure what you mean.

[radiantwingedone]

... From talking to you, likely would not mind as roommate. Another resident? Likely would mind. Am not.. the most fond of people.

[ Maybe he's indirectly saying that while Will sounds like a child, he doesn't act like one and this is a good thing. ]

[lightbranded]

[It was a good thing Will had rather a lot of practice at reading into things said without saying. He smiles quietly.]

I think I could promise that this won't be for another resident.

[radiantwingedone]

Ah.

[lightbranded]

It is because the castle seems to be determined that I cannot be alone for long.

[radiantwingedone]

... that would explain a need for a roommate. Pets do not count?

[lightbranded]

No, it seems to be people only.

[radiantwingedone]

And further explains.

[ ... how is this sort of conversation supposed to go? ]

[lightbranded]

I cannot be alone for longer than a few hours. [He sounds upset about this.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke winces on his end. Yeah. That would suck. ]

Understandably makes sleeping poor, with variety of ways castle can make aware that company is needed....

[lightbranded]

Yes, during the day I can make do with spending time in public areas. But that does not work at night.

[radiantwingedone]

Understandable. Sleeping in hall does not sound of a good option.

[lightbranded]

It hasn't worked that well, no.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Bonus points for actually trying everything to think of before asking for roommates, Will. ]

... Satis, floor 3, if you wish to come by.

[lightbranded]

[He really hated being a bother, so he'd tried everything he could think of to handle the issue by himself.]

I'm not far from there.

[radiantwingedone]

... Makes things easier.

[lightbranded]

I suppose it does, at that.
