Part 506: Virion B

Dasher and derricks... Remodel the barracks!

As you wish, milady! Virion, AWAY! (Time passes)

Flower and beast... Cook the whole camp a feast!

It shall be done, milady! Virion, AWAY! (Time passes)

Hmm... What should I make him do next?

I shall do anything you ask.

Did you say something?

I said, "I shall do anything you ask." You don't even have to rhyme.

...Wait. Have you been awake this whole time?

Of course.

That's impossible. A victim of a curse enters a trance state with no memory or awareness of his actions.

A curse? Is that what you're trying to do? Tsk! You should have told me before. Those little hex doodads never work on me.

But you've been doing everything I demand without hesitation! Are you playing me for a fool? Because that would make me... angry.

Not at all! I simply find it impossible to say no to a beautiful woman.

What if I told you to... Oh, I don't know. Pluck out your own eye? Or sacrifice your life?

If necessary, I would do either one without hesitation. Ooh! Then I could wear a fine diamond eye patch.

If necessary?! What does that mean? You're evading the question. Or you're lying.

I never tell a falsehood to a lady, even in jest. In time, you will come to see the sincerity of gallant Virion's heart.

Hmph...
