Regardless of the cause, I'll respect his wishes, or at least what I expect his wishes to be. He behaves with perfect courtesy towards me, and I can do no less than return the favor. If there is to be nothing more between us than respect and kind words and simple cooperation when it's needed, then so be it. I shan't risk ill-feeling or malice by trying to force a deeper bond where none was ever intended to exist. And if greater camaraderie or friendship is destined between us - well, let it grow in its own time, and in a soil free of deception's poison. It will be the stronger for it. | Regardless of the cause, I'll respect his wishes, or at least what I expect his wishes to be.

I've not spoken to him of this. I'm not sure I ever shall. It's hardly the sort of thing I'd expect him to listen to, and it's not like I have an answer in any case. The heroes we remember found some way to impose their dreams upon the very world, to make everyone share their belief in what was good and right - what use is naming the destination if one can't even begin to guess the path to get there? Besides, if he is to succeed in his self-appointed quest, Caleb must do so in the end on his own - without relying on me, or anyone else. I am at least in place to watch, and possibly for a short while longer move to catch him should he fail too soon. | I've not spoken to him of this. I'm not sure I ever shall.

It's irony, perhaps, or perhaps irony's opposite. But we may just trade rescues, he and I. If I stay sane, and go into the next incarnation as still a servant of the Light, it will no doubt be with his help. As for him... he has my friendship, and my counsel, and my prayers. I can only hope it's enough. | It's irony, perhaps, or perhaps irony's opposite. But we may just trade rescues, he and I.

I'm not sure if Asheth is able to understand this yet. I doubt I have the words to tell him - I barely understand it myself. But there's more to it than that - he's drowning in his own pain, not sure yet whether he wants to fight his way up to the surface and scream for rescue or surrender to the numbing black. I think he's strong enough to choose the harder path... I hope he's brave enough to do so. But whatever he chooses, my path is to be beside him at the end. And offer whatever sanctuary I can. | I'm not sure if Asheth is able to understand this yet. I doubt I have the words to tell him - I barely understand it myself.
