_{[ That was a harsh justice, but he wasn't in a position to argue it. He had felt the need for the same kind when Khan had killed Pike. He was glad he had not. He did not want that on his soul, he had enough guilt and shadows twisting around him as it was. ]}

I hope it brought you some measure of peace, then.

_{[ He didn't precisely agree with it, true, but maybe he would have if he wore the brands. ]}

[Fenris has far too much blood on his hands to notice any more. The Maker will have to take him as he is, or not at all. ]

It freed me from being hunted any more, but a measure of peace would be asking too much. That is something I can never truly attain, and I have come to accept that.

[Danarius made a monster, and a monster he will stay. One that had learned how to play nice on occasion, but dangerous killer all the same. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Well, that was a bit pessimistic, wasn't it? But he figured he had pressed the other enough for one night, and he didn't want to unsettle whatever deeper understanding they might have just gained of each other. ]}

Then I'm at least glad you got justice.

[wolfuncaged]

[Wise move, on his part. ]

Yes. There is that, at least. I can only hope with his death, it means what happened to me cannot happen to anyone else, that his research died with him.

[universal_charm]

Sounds like you got more than justice, you did your world a service. Someone like that shouldn't be allowed to roam free and carry on.

_{[ He didn't say dead, per say, but he agreed that he could not abide someone like that simply doing as they pleased. Though Fenris had as much admitted for doing what he did for selfish reasons, he could get behind the wider ranging effects of his actions. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

[It was absolutely for selfish reasons. Danarius was a monster who needed to be put down. He was doing what had to be done, in his mind. ]

My home country is full of men like him. It would be better for everyone if the entirety of Tevinter were razed off the map.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Well that seemed a bit extreme to him. He didn't think you should judge an entire race off once person's actions, but something in his gut told him that would be a loosing battle, and Fenris was not someone he wanted to be on the entirely bad side of if he could help it in the long run. ]}

I'll have to trust your opinion on that, never having been to your world. But at the least your country is now down one man of that sort.

_{[ It was the most he could make himself agree to aloud. ]}

[Dorian was...good. Fenris will admit that much. They had a tumultuous relationship here, but even he would admit Dorian was a good thing to come out of Tevinter. Quite possibly the only good thing. And now he was likely throwing himself into that viper pit once more, like the fool he is. ]

That is one thing we can be glad for, yes.

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ Well, he'd have good company in the fool department. Kirk had something of a reputation for that, doing the fool thing when another path might have been easier and within regulations (to say the least).

For a brief moment there was quiet, because there didn't seem any good way to move down this particular conversation path. So, time for a change of subject. ]</sub>

You know, we're both security officers. We should train together from time to time. I'm sure there's things we can teach each other, and never hurts to keep our skills sharp.

[wolfuncaged]

[A long time ago, back in Thedas, Fenris would have declined such an offer, refusing to train with anyone but himself. But after his time in Exsilium, he has learned the important of training with others, sharing skills, leaning from one another. ]

I could use to learn a little more about gun use. I am more used to using a sword than the weapons we are given as part of our job here.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He nodded. ]}

I can do that. We use phasers where I'm from, a type of gun, if small, but powerful. So, I trade gun knowledge in return for a hand-to-hand sparring partner?

_{[ He raised his brows, offer on the table. ]}

[wolfuncaged]

I think that's a fair trade.

[Oh look, he's almost smiling. ]

[universal_charm]

It's a deal then.

_{[ He held out his hand to seal it with a shake. ]}

I don't have anything slated for tomorrow... or any day really, so whenever you're free we can get together for that first weapons lesson.

[wolfuncaged]

[He inclines his head in agreement to that. ]

That would be agreeable, my day is free also.

[universal_charm]

Excellent. Then I'll... see you in the morning?

_{[ He squinted at the clock, reading the digits and chuffing. ]}

Okay, more like later today.

[wolfuncaged]

[There's a huff of laughter as he starts towards the door. ]

Yes. Good luck, I hope you get some rest.

[universal_charm]

Same to you, Fenris. Until later.
