[Rosemary puts down the pencil it's holding to look up at Thancred properly.]

What could a dashing heroic type like you have to apologize for to me?

[heartofcorundum]

While I appreciate the compliment, there's no need to butter me up.

[...]

The attitude I took towards you, the morning that Giyuu had disappeared. I know we came to as close of an understanding as we could, given the circumstance. But my flare of temper wasn't helping the situation. [this is a very funny thing to apologize for when he's stuck as a lizard]

[But Rosemary likes buttering people up. :(]

Hm? [It taps its head.] I don't remember you being particularly more upset at me than anyone else. I really don't think there's anything for you to apologize for, but I accept it nevertheless.

I stayed behind to talk to you all because I'm used to being hated. It comes with the territory. If I can use that to shield the other three, I will.

[A beat. Most of it is about what he'd expected, except for near the end. Hated, huh.]

What territory, if you don't mind me asking?

[maladied]

I used to be an assassin.

[Neutrally, like it's a normal thing to say.]

Also just generally who I am as a person.
[A freak.]

[heartofcorundum]

Oh, come now, I'll hear none of that. You've had more heart and openness than many here.

Still. An assassin at eighteen? [Man who graduated at the top of his entire field in Being A Spy by age seventeen: oh neat.] Were you for hire?
