No, I think I'm being funny by being obvious. [ they are being a little shit on purpose, is what they are saying ] And I figured if you didn't want me to know, you wouldn't have started asking about them anyway.
Well, he was a cruel man... Killed his court and civilians if they disagreed with him. Slaughtered his slaves when he wanted to. Made a sport out of it with his other sick nobility friends and paraded them as banquets.
[ ... The broken mirror imagery returns, though for a moment. ]
He was an impostor and I was the last living heir. I simply took back what was mine.
I'm going old testament. [ no, gam. but also they are once again thinking THIS IS SO ROYAL COURT DRAMA to themselves as they cross their arms ] Did that lord arrange to kidnap you so you couldn't stake the claim in the first place? Since you were probably... "illegitimate".
It matters a little. Your circumstances are what brought you here. [ but; ] So you were abandoned instead of murdered as a baby. Really not making me regret saying that Lord of yours deserved it.
I wasn't born an angel. [ lightly ] Just because I think some people deserve a way to earn a second chance or redemption doesn't mean I think everyone can earn one.

The previous lord? [ ??? ] Were you trying to take his place?

Sounds like he deserved it. [ maybe not something an angel should say! eh ] If you were the heir, how come he had it?

[ To be sold into slavery, etc. ]
However it happened, I got off easy living in the slums for most of my years instead of being six feet under. Not that it matters...
[ Because he's dead. ]

An end to bloody sabbaths and a stop to the renaissance of the Dark Ages. May he rot in hell.

[ for someone who is all about second chances gam also seem to hold grudges. they shake their head ]
I'd say the sword is pretty good, as far as these trinket gifts go.
no subject
It is. [ Anyway, ] That again isn't very angelic to say.
