I don't need apologies about my mother, I've lived with her this long already. [blunt and dismissive. what good would apologies do him anyway?]

I might have even been as bad as her once, or did you forget that I used to be an assassin? You're foolish if you think that the only cruel people here are our captors, and I don't actually believe you're that foolish.

Besides, I tend to stop regarding people who kill me as strangers, don't you?
