(So my muses started talking?)

Liefully: How long have you been standing there?
Dalie: Not long.
Liefully: Come to kill me?
Dalie: No.
Liefully: Come to hurt me?
Dalie: No.
Liefully: Why else would you be here then?
Dalie: Various things. I suppose I am simply curious.
Liefully: -sigh- About what?
Dalie: I just wonder what it… No, I shall not say.
Liefully: -frowns-
Dalie: I will, though, mention that while I have not particularly bothered you in any way, that does not mean I have not been watching.
Liefully: Trying to scare me?
Dalie: No.
Liefully: Then what purpose is there in informing me such?
Dalie: Just that I am aware of your situation.
Liefully: You and nearly everyone else.
Dalie: My apologies.
Liefully: Hmm?
Dalie: You are always so skeptical of my visits. I came to apologize.
Liefully: For what?
Dalie: It is typical to apologize for a loss.
Liefully: You are not one to apologize for anything.
Dalie: No, ’tis true. I am not. But this I shall.
Liefully: Why?
Dalie: Why not?
Liefully: Stop that! Just tell me why!
Dalie: Should go without surprise that last I saw him, I was mean. I said things that scared him.
Liefully: Why are you telling me this?
Dalie: There are things I know about him that you do not. I have considered telling them to you.
Liefully: What things?
Dalie: -shakes his head- No. I am not telling you those things. I shall let them die with him.
Liefully: -narrows eyes-
Dalie: It should go without surprise… that he loved you. And he did a lot to protect you and make your life better… He did a lot to see you happy. You should not let such efforts be in vain.
Liefully: Why are you saying this?
Dalie: -tilts his head- As I said, I am aware of your situation. And some things I have thought about. I need not do anything to see you tortured when you are a far more superior torturer than I.
Liefully: I do not–
Dalie: Smile! You dolt, you are not dead yet you act it. What is the point of living if you do not live?
Liefully: …
