[He leans in and pours some into her mug. Damn, them arms bands are useful. But then she takes a drink of the one she has.]
[He takes a long swig directly from the bottle then.]
He was their father. Had enough proof for it. Made it out like I was just the cabby goin' to pick up his littlun's. An' he was a Celestial so he could... make anything. I was a former slave an' I was lookin' at more money I ever saw in my life, so long as I brought 'im his kids.
He knew which one of my team to hit. He... had to. The rest of 'em knew better. He picked the one that had been sold by his own parents. A daddy wantin' his youngin's back? I was helpin', even. I could... convince myself of a lotta things. I was stupid like that. Put it together when I went to Terra to get the last one...
...It is real funny that he knew exactly when that boy's mama was gonna die. [And his expression says 'funny' in the 'what a bastard' way. Like it just dawned on him how exceptional that timing was.]
I asked 'im where the rest of 'em went. ...Tried to get help but I did it all wrong an' my group exiled me. So it was just me an' my shitty asshole crew with this boy I couldn't deliver. ...Spent the rest of my life tryin' to protect 'im an' not tell him why. His bastard father eventually died, an' so did I- Makin' sure he lived past 'im. So... if ya don't hate me right now, then you know is shit is situational. If you do, I can't blame ya. I ain't ever forgiven me.
