[monsterjohann]

He was pleased. It was a good conversation.

[abrightboy]

He was pleased? Does that mean I get to come to family functions and holiday dinners at your castle?

[monsterjohann]

Yes, but there's no castle. We're- still deciding where we want to go.

[abrightboy]

[He assumes their new Wardeny cabin is a castle. But. Go. Right. Of course they'll go. He's trying really, really hard not to sound like that's devastating. He's failing, but he's trying really hard. Look. He's being cool about it.]

Oh. Yeah. Um. When are you thinking you'll be... going?

[monsterjohann]

Aww, were you going to miss me?

We aren't leaving for a while. We want a deal, so we're both trying for the same one.

[abrightboy]

I will miss you, whenever that is. But I’m glad you’re staying for a bit.

[monsterjohann]

Ugh. Are you getting sentimental on me?

[abrightboy]

One of us has to be in charge of sentimental feelings and you don’t have the tools.

[monsterjohann]

You're right! I don't.

I wonder what sort of inmate I'll have.

[abrightboy]

One that will be lucky to learn from your breadth of experience. Remember back when you used to say you didn't even want to graduate?

[monsterjohann]

I didn't! And I'm still not sure I do now.

There's too much responsibility.

[abrightboy]

You can handle it.

[monsterjohann]

You have to say that.

[abrightboy]

Not if it was a lie!

[monsterjohann]

You know I'll punch you in the head if you say that I'm not going to be a good warden.

[Now he's giggling, though.]

[abrightboy]

Lucky for me I think you will be a good Warden. Sorry to inform you that you now have to be a mentor to Kikimora. Since we’re brothers and now we’re both Wardens, you’re like… her uncle in spirit.

[monsterjohann]

I'm fairly sure she still harbors a grudge for the whole - kicking her debacle.

We've been friendly before, but only because we both hate Hilbert.

[abrightboy]

Well, that’s fine. You’re allowed to hate him; he’s a Warden.

[monsterjohann]

I'm allowed to hate him because he hurt me.

And I'm very good at holding grudges.

[abrightboy]

He hurt Francis too.

[monsterjohann]

He did? Well, so did I.

[abrightboy]

“When you’d only been here a little while,” Malcolm recalls.

[monsterjohann]

It was because of Dorian. I was jealous. I didn't think it would matter.

I beat him in the head with his spyglass.

Then got Trevor to give me another one and gave it to him before he left.

[abrightboy]

Jealous? Of what?

[monsterjohann]

He and Dorian were friends.
