He made a thoughtful sound. "As I told the young lordling, deception is not a talent I have ever possessed," he said, "yet it seems I have deceived you regardless, though that was not my intent. Well no longer then. The truth is that whatever I may appear to be, I am not of your world, nor of your people. Save in appearance, my people- the Elezen- are no more noble or free from darkness and pettiness than any other of Hydalyn's races."
"Nor am I a shining example of my people. Nay, I'm a murderer and a thrice-cursed fool whose place in this gaol was well earned. I attacked an killed those who uphold the Twelveswood's law in what I believed was a righteous quest, but in reality was naught but petty vengeance, what I thought to be the ultimate courage a mere delusion. I am naught but a worthless coward, a broken man rightly left to lie among the other broken things on this Isle. So if you thought me anything more and sought my company because of such assumptions, you needn't do so any longer once these supplies are stowed away."
