[He's a little busy panicking, so his response is delayed — and scattered when it does come.]
What? I don't fucking know...!
Intervene how?
[He leaves alone the claim that Lucifer is concerned about him, because he doesn't believe it, but he can't think of any counterargument for why the asshole would have his roommate check on him then.]
I can try to talk them out of it. I'm not that well known but I've been teaching mages and creating more powerful wards for them. I also know two people who they trust who may be able to do more.
One would hope that they understand none of us was at our best when there were literally gods influencing us. You were not at fault.
He said you made a mistake because of him they might treat as a crime when it wasn't your fault. I don't know the details but we do try to look out for each other in the Summoned, so I am not inclined to leave you on your own.
You don't have to handle it alone, Wilhelm. The Summoned may be a small group but we can help one another. We're truthfully the only people we can count on in this situation.
No, he's under house arrest in our room.
Listen, I don't know what exactly went on between the two of you, but for what it's worth, he is genuinely concerned about your safety. There is no reason for him to pretend with me.
Thorne is sensitive right now, it's not about you being young. They can turn easily, they did it before to the Summoned when they threw most of them in the dungeon in the start. Wanting to look out for another Summoned isn't a reflection on them, but on our captors.
No one is all anything. He's not the same person he was when this began.
He did lie and use you, as he has lied and used others, and you have every right to your feelings about him or toward him.
I am concerned for you completely unrelated to Lucifer. Thorne is looking for scapegoats and ways to use us against one another. No one deserves to become one of their pawns. You have no reason to trust me, but I hope there is someone here in Thorne you can trust to ask for help if you need it.
[Somehow, being so calmly told that his feelings are valid is just as annoying as being told that he's overreacting. (At least, he imagines Istredd calm. His words seem to march out as neutrally as well-trained soldiers.)]
I have plenty of other people I can trust.
[If, like, two is plenty.]
Just
Leave me alone. You can tell Lucifer he'll have to find some other way to keep tabs on me.
[ Istredd's constant calm can be extremely irritating to people who know him in person too, so it's a reasonable reaction.]
He only sent me because he was certain you would ignore him and he is now under house arrest. If you are in an emergency situation, reach out to Stephen Strange, he is high in influence and probably the person best suited to step in.
I will leave you to the people you trust from here, but I am available if you change your mind.
[ He doesn't want to chase the boy and make him feel hunted by either of them, so this seems the smartest choice. ]

I don't know what he told you, but it has nothing to do with what happened with those gods.

[Press X to doubt.]
Are they putting him in the dungeons?

You really trust him? All he does is lie and use people, you know.
