I've talked to a few of you about this, but all right. Question. People come here because they have to fix themselves, right? That's rhetorical. My real question is, do they actually deserve it or is it just because they can be changed?
We don't actually have that answer, do we?
[Inmate Filter]
Then, for you guys, is that change even helpful or would you call it harmful to your way of life? Whatever it was before. People make enemies, I know how it is.

[Kylar's around every early morning that the Barge isn't on fire or trying to rhyme and sing with itself. With the ka'kari back at his disposal he has a ton of practicing to do. Today's stunt, he tries to coat a training dummy with the ka'kari. Giving it a thick black metalic armor. He knows better than to attack it with Retribution, actually, the ka'kari warned him of that. There will be questions of Why later.
So he tears at it with a dagger attempting every move he can think of. But the dagger is taking far more damage than the ka'kari, in fact, the metal hasn't even dented. When he's done, he wills the ka'kari back into his skin. There's just one problem.]
You ate the dummy!
~Devourer.~
Stop it! I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on this stuff from people destroying it. Not destroying it myself.
~You never learn, do you? First, you complain when I don't obey, now you complain when I do. Which will it be next time?~
You weren't supposed to eat-
[Wait. Is someone else in here?]

And you think otherwise.

Think it's easier to get a straight answer without the hypotheticals.

[A sigh before he switches it to private.]
That apothecary I used to run? Got in with the wrong kind of people, I tried to get out of the business before and now I'm dead. But it's the only thing I know how to do and I'm good at it. It's not all bad, some good comes out it. But if I open another shop, they'll probably find me again and we're back to where we started. They don't take refusals.
[Liar liar pants on fire.]
At least the hypothetical was generic.
private
Sounds like they were harmful for your 'way of life'. Not whatever change that'd get you out of here.
private
Almost.
Let me put it another way. People pay more for antidotes when there's a poison going around. Other times, it's a contact poison quick and usually painless, but more importantly silent. Easy to coat on a doorknob or wine glass during important parties.
I may have not been holding a dagger to their throat, but the specifics hardly change the outcome. Dead is dead. And that's also part of my point, I could try another profession, but once they found me, the demands would return. Being the better person this place wants me to be to put that coin aside or outright refuse won't matter much when the time comes.
[Kyle is a bit of a coward that Kylar would never admit to. Somehow it fits though, alongside the friendliness and smiles.]

Then another name and another place seem like the best option you have. Maybe- learning to stay away is a step in the right direction.

Okay. But how?
private
Because it didn't say why changing would be so difficult. If the change is somethin' deeper than 'not wasting people' it should be more complicated than that.
private
Never mind. Guess I'll just have to work on it for next time.

[There's a long pause. Since what he's told James here could easily be blackmail against him keeping his Infirmary position. He's wondering if he should even point out to keep quiet of it. ... Maybe best not to.]
Anyways, thanks for the opinion.
private
Yeah, sure. If it did you any good.
