I don't want to - jesus christ.

It doesn't matter. Death's broken. That's not going to change.

Okay, well, that's a relief! But you're still clearly struggling. You have a warden checking on you, right?

What? No. Fucking-....

Why the fuck does it have to be a warden who checks up on me? I hate half the wardens and half the inmates here.

And I don't need to be 'checked up on.'

For fuck's sake..

So who do you get along with?

I'm not going to kill myself so it doesn't matter who I get along with.

Look, I'm not trying to be mysterious or secretive here, but I hate being badgered by questions and I get that five hundred times a day from Lark and Jon and Zack, and it's fucking annoying.

Oh, you know Lark! He's pretty cool.

He's my warden.

Then I guess you are in good hands! He wanted to talk to me about dying when he didn't even know me.

He's a good man. I'm not in his hands, though. That's just the Admiral fucking with people.

He believes, same as me, that this place is shit and we all need to be properly armed and know how to defend ourselves. So that already puts him head-and-shoulders above most of the fucking boat.

You heard he's a skinwalker?

No kidding! Really?

Turns into a wolf. I've seen it happen.

If you want him to like you, bring him a chew toy.

Okay, that's... a joke, right?

He has a collection of them. I have to buy two - one for him and one for Lucy.

It just seems like that would be insulting, or patronizing...

You'd think. But he loves it. He's not really human, he just looks it. And I guess what would be patronizing to humans is more of a thoughtful gift for werewolves.

I guess I'd just expect a werewolf to prefer, I don't know, a bloody steak?

He probably likes that too.

Chew toys. Weird. We just explored the Enclosure and he asked me questions about my friends.

He's good at getting under people's skin. Very personable. Wolf leaders need to make sure everyone's happy to protect their pack, it's kind of a known trait.

So you're saying he was just feeling me out, making sure I'm not a threat to-- who? Oh, Pagan, probably. Yeah, I could see that. I definitely felt like we were circling each other a little bit.

Probably. That and he might be one of the few who genuinely care about people outside of this rigid fucking caste system.

You don't think that's a little dramatic?

How many people do you know here who would say "Who's their warden?" when someone caused trouble instead of going to fix the problem themselves?

What's wrong with wanting to know who someone's warden is? I want to know what all the pairings are.

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that no one is willing to fucking stop evil when they see it and just automatically defer to this shit system a faceless necromancer set up.

The point is, we shouldn't be playing into his game. Wardens and inmates make no sense when you look at how fucked up some of his chosen people are and how some of his 'inmates' are literal children.

And you have the wardens who take their 'jobs' so goddamn seriously, they will rip away someone's God-given powers because they've been put in charge by someone who shouldn't be in charge in the first place. And then there are the wardens who get defensive when you stop evil from happening in front of your eyes because, oh, you didn't tell their warden instead of stopping them from committing atrocities.

Or maybe you have the ones who feel that 'their' inmate has been appropriately punished and it might be a blatant miscarriage of justice, but fuck it, they're the warden so they intrinsically know what's right.

What's going to happen to you, Misty, if you're murdered by someone here and their warden says "oh they've been punished enough" and your murderer walks up to you and spits in your face?
