[betenoir]

Really, Verso? Considering your recent criticism, I thought that was my job.

[fromfire]

No, your fires are always controlled, Renoir.

[betenoir]

Oh, so you do know the difference. Then you have thought through my actions and still maintain your position.

[disappointing.]

[fromfire]

As controlled as your fire is, you're still going to end up caught up in it.

[betenoir]

That is my decision. The cost I am willing to pay.

[fromfire]

Well, other people don't want you to pay that cost.

[betenoir]

They would bear the cost if not I.

[fromfire]

And how much will be left of you at the end of all this?

[betenoir]

Just enough.

[fromfire]

for what

[betenoir]

To ensure everyone is fine.

[fromfire]

if you're not how can you expect us to be

[betenoir]

I cannot demand you enjoy it. But I can expect you to respect the sacrifices parents make on your behalf.

[fromfire]

Is that how you want to play this?!

[betenoir]

Would you expect me to play this any other way?

[fromfire]

Yes. Any other way would make more sense than this!

[betenoir]

Then let me ask you, Verso. Do you not think I have considered whether there is another way? Do you feel I have not spent enough time contemplating it these past years?

There is no other way.

[fromfire]

I feel you've chosen this route and can't even see another way!

[betenoir]

You would begrudge a man his first real decision in life?

[Nothing is as simple as he makes out. He knows this. And if Verso is outraged by it, all the better for it.]

[fromfire]

No more than you begrudge me mine.

[betenoir]

[Hmn.]

You claim you forgot the contents of your canteen, but Maman and I never raised a fool of a child. You threw it upon the fire on purpose, didn't you?

[fromfire]

youre going back to that?

[betenoir]

If needs must.

[Do needs must, Verso?]

[fromfire]

And if had been on purpose? What then?

[betenoir]

Then needs must.

[A very similar message. But the threat and meaning are entirely different.]
