"At neck this time?" Nim look over his neck, "... ... Maybe don't teach her anything after this."
"So what now? I can't use bandage forever can I?" Palette huffed, "I'm not even good at bandaging myself..."
"There there." Angst patted Palette's back, "just use whatever you have to avoid people suspecting you while Grandma figures out how to hide it."
"Meanwhile I do that..." Nim snapped her fingers, a chair appeared and she got Palette to sit down. "We need to discuss how you act to everyone."
"Not again..." He mumbled to himself.
"Listen, screaming and yelling won't get you anywhere. Try to be pitiful and pathetic, that'll get you somewhere." She claimed with annoyed expression, "it does sounds bad but believe me, it works."
"Let me guess, someone act like you claimed and it works for you and the whole empire?" Palette scoffed, "damn, whoever act like that is a trash."
Angst and Nim glances at each other, if only Palette know that the person who used to act like that is Dream himself.
But they don't want to spoil the mood anyway.
"Uh-huh... Anyway, Grandma and I got another clue for the next puzzle. It's an earring!" Angst claimed, "random I know but I heard that the god and goddesses blessed someone who was near death and give him an earring as a blessing!" Said Angst, "the person is a blacksmith now if I remember it correctly."
"Blacksmith... Well I'll ask Mama, she can teleport world to world." Palette smiles, "I can't wait to meet mama."
"Palette," Nim stopped him. "I'm just saying the next round will be much harder for you. Even if you're being careful, someone or something will kill you." Nim frowns, sighing as she put a necklace on him.
The necklace is a shape of Moon and Sun.
"Since you don't fully have your power, do your best to protect yourself." Said Nim, "don't waste your time on finding your mother, I have a bad feeling if you did find her...-"
"I'll be fine, Mama won't hurt me." Palette smiles, trying to reassure Nim.
"..." Nim sighed, "I trust your judgement." She stepped back, preparing to send Palette back.
