You have reached Festival, king of entertainers and entertainer of kings. I'm fairly certain this device will allow you to leave a message. Best of luck with that.
You're not the first to tell me that. I like to think it's true...I have always believed it to be true of others, but I suppose I sometimes find it difficult to believe that the entertainment I provide is so impactful as all that.
I think it's always a little difficult to believe that we make a difference. Even in small ways, but I know I feel better, more worthwhile, when I see someone smile because of something I've done. If I've made their pain a little less.
[A smile flickers across his features.]
There are bigger things, but some days it's the best you can do. It's still something, it still matters.
[Bigger things...even the bigger things haven't always felt like enough. No matter how powerful he becomes, he's always felt like he was stumbling his way through someone else's story.]
It's...good to hear that. And you know it's true for yourself as well--yes...?
[His question is interrupted by a yawn; he hasn't held a conversation this long since the mansion.]

[A small smile plays on his lips, before he leans forward at Festival's yawn.]
Hey, we've been talking for a while. I should let you take a break, maybe get something to drink.
[Hydrating is important for recovery.]
no subject
A nightcap, eh? That does sound nice.
[He chuckles. He knows that's not what's meant.]
no subject
Well, a nightcap too, maybe, but make sure you're drinking enough liquids that aren't alcohol.
[His own smile isn't nearly as impressively toothy, but it's sincere.]
I won't fuss, though. Just as long as you're getting rest.
no subject
I'll have a glass of warm milk and put myself to bed, don't you worry.
no subject
Good, then I'll leave you alone to get some rest. But if you need anything, feel free to let me know.
[It's the least he can do.]
no subject
[No, he won't.]
no subject
[Another quiet chuckle.]
I'll talk to you soon. Have a good nap.
