060th metal

I wanted to talk about the Barge.

[ He's in the garden again, the garden that's going to become lonely without Morgana. (Visible in the shot is a certain special, elaborate, beautiful flower that he's threatened people over before.) ]

I got here... it's been almost two years for me, though less for the people here. I graduated in five months. That time was terrifying, and painful, and wonderful. I changed so much. But I've changed more since then. It was just a step, not an ending.

I think it's hard to be a warden because what the Admiral does, sometimes, isn't fair. He takes people who have suffered and hurt and lost and makes them suffer more. He traps people who have been trapped their whole lives, and he's not concerned with anyone calling it wrong.

I know - I know inmates have almost always hurt people. I know the Barge changes us into people who don't. I think the way that happens is that it makes us not alone anymore. It shows us mirrors of ourselves. It shows us love. It hurts us and shows us that we can heal.

[ He's started to cry, tears spilling over, though his expression doesn't change. ]

I was never loved. You, all of you who were, you're so lucky. I thought that a son should love his father, and so I let him use me, and I gave him everything he expected. I killed, and I watched, and - I even tried to kill him sometimes, because he expected it, and he would have thought I was weak if I hadn't. Then, when I became too skilled, he tried to dispose of me, and when that didn't work, he tried to buy me, and I...

You don't know how lucky you are. You don't know how it changes everything when people love you.

[ He wipes tears away. ]

It's not going to be the same without Morgana.

[ spam for sylvanas ]

[ He stops by her cabin, after making the post. Just a check-in, which he does every once in a while, making sure she's all right, that she doesn't need anything. He knocks, because he never comes in without asking - at least, not until Lirath's opened the door for him. ]

That's why you did it. This...idea of yours. That inmates need to see someone cares.
400yearsofsurvival: (Where did you think you were going?)

A truly selfless act, guy.

[ He so didn't buy that, and it was clear in his tone. ]
400yearsofsurvival: (What's this?)

It's not what you did get. It's what you hoped to get.
400yearsofsurvival: (Look over there)

Not from me. You had no way of knowing I'd survive.
400yearsofsurvival: (Hey guy)

[ There a pause. And when he speaks, he draws the word out. Condescending and amused. Like he thinks it's a pathetic concept. ]

Atonement.

[ And again, he scoffs. Worried? About the pathetic "human" who cries over love on a public network? Disgusted was a better word for it. But there was something else, as well. ]

Consider it...curiosity.

Beat me? I'm not defeated until you've killed me, guy. Which you've failed to do. Twice.

That depends on whether or not you have any other assumptions to make.
400yearsofsurvival: (Oh aren't you pathetic)

Aren't you?

[ He doesn't believe it. Not after the rather...violent encounters they've had. ]
400yearsofsurvival: (Hey guy)

And yet you keep getting...involved.
400yearsofsurvival: (Are you kidding me?)

Is that supposed to be a threat?
400yearsofsurvival: (You think that hurt?)
