[ Someone's having a good time in solitary. ]

I can feel it calling to me. Byfrost. I must find it. I must have it again, soon.

The cell is quiet but it is loud it is too loud

What makes you the arbiter of who deserves what

[ Maybe he's being a little contrary. Just the raw edges talking. ]

[fateality]

What gives anyone the right? You could argue that maybe knights, soldiers, or lawmakers -- but I tend to find that they serve the powerful, and the powerful serves himself.

I do what I do because I'm good at it, and there are people who ought to be taken down a peg. Not necessarily 'cuz someone tells me that it's right or wrong.

[ He supposes that's true. Powerful as he is, he doesn't necessarily think he has the right to hand down judgments--only the will, and the ability. ]

Have you never met someone deserving of their status

[fateality]

Not in my world. People say that Demacian nobles are different. They really aren't.

Mettaton claims he didn't step on anyone to get to his glory. I wanna believe him, but I doubt it. Not really my business, I guess.

[respired]

So then what if you amass all the wealth you want

Will that mean you must be taken down a peg, too

[fateality]

I dunno. You think I deserve it?

[respired]

I think you deserve whatever will make you happy

We are not talking about what I think, however

[fateality]

Well, that's awful sweet of you to say, regardless.

I ain't thought too hard about that. I think if someone was gonna take me down a peg, it wouldn't be about the money I've gotten. It'd be because of the other things I've done. That's more deserving, frankly.

[respired]

It is not sweet

It is the truth

Perhaps

but we are going by your standards.

[fateality]

Can't it be both?

Then I guess I should only be taken down a peg if I took something from someone who didn't deserve it. If I stole from an honest man trying to provide for his family, that kind of thing. I ain't given it much thought, personally. Not by those standards, anyway.

[respired]

I suppose so

Do rich men have no family

[ He's just messing with you now, Toby. ]

[fateality]

Yes, they're all orphans. Their parents are money.

[respired]

Hilarious

[fateality]

Oh, come on. I'm the funniest man you know.

[respired]

That is hardly a feat

most death knights are not known for their humor

[fateality]

Yeah, but you're the only Death Knight in Audentes, so you get to compare me to over 70 people.

[respired]

I am no great judge myself

[fateality]

You know how to smile. That's good enough for me.
