What, with actually meeting them? [ A small laugh, but it's not... happy or anything. A little disbelieving. ] Maybe a little.
But it's not like you're the one who went to the Kingmaker about them, then turned around and still talked to them like you hadn't done anything to put them at risk. [ ... ]
He didn't say anything about it. Maybe he's known about Glory and everyone else for longer than we've given him credit for. [ Third movement; it's a little louder than it needs to be. ] After all, Glory mentioned he started with the dead first last...
[ ...now the movement's too soft, because he's thinking about it—and when he speaks, it's quieter, too. He doesn't want Sigrun to hear. ]
They mentioned he started with the dead first last time, in reference to what the Kingmaker was planning on doing, but... they've also said that they don't know who the Kingmaker is aside from having a pretentious name that they don't like. [ There's a keen contradiction there. ] I mean, maybe they're missing memories, or maybe they heard this second-hand from another ghost—maybe Ambitious—but they've also said they've been alone for a long time, and they don't really seem to like the other one that isn't one of ours.
...I don't know. [ The piece ends, and he sets his hands in his lap instead. ] Maybe they're fucking with us, I guess, is what I'm getting at here?
[ He's not in any position to go, "Hey, this person might not be trustworthy" though. ]
