You're old news.
She, on the other hand, is the future.

338
00:20:05,163 --> 00:20:06,164
Freedom.

339
00:20:06,331 --> 00:20:07,666
-Hey.
-King.

340
00:20:07,833 --> 00:20:10,836
-We're good, then?
-Yes. Quite.

344
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,385
Well, we wrecked this chump,

345
00:20:18,552 --> 00:20:21,221
but I guess
the Bloom of Eternal Youth isn't real.

346
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:23,807
-(SIGHS)
-Well, if it makes any difference,

347
00:20:24,016 --> 00:20:26,018
I don't consider you to be
a tired, old biddy.

348
00:20:26,185 --> 00:20:27,269
Really?

349
00:20:27,436 --> 00:20:29,605
If you were,
you'd be much easier to catch.

350
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:33,817
Oh, great. You're gonna cart me away
to the coven now, are you?

351
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:37,988
Not now. Because I want
to give you a chance to join on your own.

352
00:20:39,573 --> 00:20:43,994
Join me in the Emperor's Coven, Edalyn.
He could even heal your curse.

353
00:20:47,331 --> 00:20:51,793
No. I'll heal it on my own terms.
I don't want to owe him anything.

354
00:20:52,377 --> 00:20:55,923
-Catch you later, sis.
-Not if I catch you first.

355
00:21:00,636 --> 00:21:01,762
I'll see you around.

356
00:21:04,056 --> 00:21:05,057
Hmm.

357
00:21:05,891 --> 00:21:08,435
You're welcome for the chance to bond.

-Woof.

363
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:25,369
-That was a rough couple days.
-Yeah, I'll say.

(EXHALES)

365
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:30,958
Well, nothing a bit of apple blood
and a good book can't mend.

366
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:34,503
-Books?
-Nope. I don't know nothing about that.

367
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:38,465
-We hate books. Wow, look at the time.
-What's a book? Good night.

368
00:21:41,426 --> 00:21:42,427
Huh?
