...He's gone.

After all that...

Just... gone.

[Pause for Tseng to pull himself together]

Turks, how did it go? I saw the explosion from all the way across the city...

Sympathy from you? Oh my.

Is it really so unusual?

It's just that sympathy is such a very useless emotion, don't you think?

It would depend on what sort of a man you are, and what you're after.

One who believes in results.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, as they say. Sympathy, like so many other emotions, has its place in negotiations where appropriate.

A person is more inclined to be agreeable if they feel their position is understood.

[Tseng chuckles a little.]

You do remind me of my President.

I can only hope he's returned to Gaia. It needs him.

And how is Nuadoria treating you, magister? I trust you escaped unharmed from those creatures.

Though I've no doubt it would be lonely without you there.

I couldn't avoid a certain amount of harm, but I'm quite well. It'll take more than that to kill one of us.

It seems to me that you have something on your mind, Tseng.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

That is just as well.

Tell me, what does a magister do?

Our job - or rather, a Magister's job - is to protect the royal family at all costs. We are their guardians and protectors.

Not quite what I expected, all things considering.

But isn't the royal family long gone?

Fallon remains. Caim and Ava have continued protecting him, as I understand.

[There's a thoughtful pause]

So tell me, what does a dog do without its master?
