My world has been stuck in its cycle of transformation for five hundred years, since the North Pole was sundered, waiting to die that it could be reborn.

Once Johann found me, I realized why I had been born as I had, hated and different and strange. Why my family had to die. Why I had been given a hallankind.

[ He shake of his head. ]

I didn't burn it down; it was already burning. I can only hope I put it out of its misery.

The other reason is that the people were looking for a sorcerer to blame and just guessed the wrong one.

I'm sure you can guess why I prefer the thought that there was at least a purpose to it.

I would have to agree with you.

It's part of why this place is so disconcerting.

[ Very wry. ]

All of that is true, of course. But I'm more unsettled by living in a place where no one here played any part in the misery of myself or my city.

You think he ought to offer his penance to them?

Were you content to be dead also?

[ A soft huff before he pushes away from the bars, clearly a little drained but not in the worst sort of way. ]

Lucky you, then, that you will have company.

I don't see myself graduating. And if I do, like hell am I leaving before wringing some benefit from the Admiral.

[ He rolls his eyes just a little at Trevor, and some of the smile seeps back in. ]

You say that as if you are not a warden already, Herr Belmont. And one paired at that.

You give away too much, Herr Belmont! Were I your inmate, I would insist you keep it. If I want my own, I will work towards it.
a_titanum: (ha!)

We are all only talking about any number of things because of the flood, Herr Belmont. Don't be so dour.

Especially when you have beer to look forward to later.

[ A soft look enters his eyes. ]

I'll make sure you're out once the flood is done with. I will.
