Well then. Thank god that's over. If anyone needs me-I'm going to be busy for the rest of the day today, so talk fast or be patient.

Cunning, if morally ambiguous. I suppose I should tell you my own faults, as two wardens on board know them well.

I betrayed my closest friend, my captain, for a plot that I had been convinced was justified. I still feel that something was needed, but in the end, and 300 years later my people are spoiled decadents that engage in slavery under the guise of superiority. Ones that obliterate other Prides and vie over relics.

I'm glad your plot didn't lead to anything quite so dramatic.

You needn't have told me that, but-thank you for entrusting me with that knowledge.

My childhood skulduggery was nothing near so dramatic, but there are things I've done as an adult, with the best of intentions and with the finest intelligence I had at the time, that had catastrophic results. Long stories, most of them.

It's something that others aboard know or I might not have shared it. Though they know little else about me. Just that I betrayed my captain.

No story is short. It's always a part of a larger one.

That's certainly true. And the notion of who's the hero and who's not always changes, depending on how you look at it.

I think you might have quite liked my captain. He was an uncompromisingly good man. [And more than a little naive at times.]

Sounds like a few others I've known. Too many of whom have come to bad ends of one kind or another; it seems to come with the character.

He didn't come to a bad end. My scheme may have been successful, but he survived it and I'm proud of him for it.

Glad to hear it, then. I probably would have liked him.
