>Adler: Throw all your new knowledge in Owter Cesawonki's face. Call his bluff, even him using the forest against you. You know his secrets now.
>Ash: You are actually pleased to hear someone say your name for once. Adler's gloating could use some work. He shouldn't have revealed he found your book, especially since there's no way he read the whole thing yet, and surely he doesn't think you put ALL your secrets in there?
>Adler: Doesn't matter, you're confident that most of Ash's threats are empty and the few areas he could inconvenience you, you are confident that you can overcome.
>Ash: Are you to understand that Adler is in fact rebuking you and not afraid of your threats?
>Adler: Yep.
>Ash: *you clap your hands* Excellent, you'll begin assisting Adler right away!
>Adler: . . . What?
>Ash: You had heard that Adler was an easily manipulated fool. If he wasn't, then that means you won't be embarrassed working for him. If he was, well, mores the better for you. As a sign of good faith, you'll tell Adler everything you know about controlling the time slips. He thinks he has it figured out, but why leave things to chance?
