The jester looked from Aegis to Iris, his grin still large and menacing. "He and I are childhood enemies. Born and bred on opposite sides of the same coin." He started walking toward Iris, a shadowy menace seeming to follow him. "We have different desires for a coming threat to this plane. There is something he is not telling you that I think is...very detrimental to your health." He stopped just before her. "Why do you think he is keeping you all around, hm? A misfit like himself, disappearing from the pages of history for hundreds of years, only to reappear and start gathering up a gang of misfits? Has he even told you what this grand adventure you will be going on is?"
