Really? [He looks skeptical and considers it for a moment (She's not making fun of him, is she? He can't tell.)] Well, fine, but stop me when you get bored. [From past experience, he's gathered no one actually wants to hear him talk at length with his "annoying voice".

He starts walking to the side-lines where he left his waterbottle.]

So there was supposed to be this recruitment meeting, and Belos left me in charge of the coven heads, buuut they decided to reschedule. [He shrugs it off like it's nothing, and it shouldn't bother him. He's not even part of the system anymore. But it did bother him, how much they just...did not care. Belos had said his being put in charge was a "test", and he'd failed before he even started.]

Darius said I should go out and find recruits myself. Well, after he stole my cloak, made fun of my sewing, and insulted my abilities by comparing them to last Guard, who was apparently much more powerful... [Boy does that bring up a whole lot of questions now that he knows more about the previous Golden Guards.] A-anyway, I think he was just trying to get rid of me. [He waves his hands quickly.] Like, out of his hair, not like...rid of rid of.
