[Jedao shakes his head.]

Don't be. We're fine, but even if we weren't...it was my choice to confront him.

Did… did you confront him directly?

...do you think what I said publicly was indirect?

Oh! Oh, right. Well, I’m sure he got the message, even if he didn’t respond.

We did also speak privately, but that's - you know. Private.

Yeah. Of course. I mean. Obviously.

I suspect he stopped responding because he realized he was out of line.

Tell me about your breach, Malcolm.

If that's true, he'll probably never say so to me.

My breach? I was an adder that traveled with wolves and fought pirates. Will was a wolf and we were good friends. Outsiders that found common ground together. So... that part was a little on the nose, but in a good way.

Sometimes that's nice. When they make sense to you.

I was a bird. With the pirates, in fact. It wasn't a happy life, but I loved flying.

Couldn’t you have left them?

I thought it was where I belonged. It was...complicated.

No, I understand that. Belonging… has a powerful allure.

I was a little bird with very sharp talons. Dangerous enough to be told that the gentler creatures would never accept me, and small enough for a big wharf rat to bully, especially since they'd had us from the egg.

And I didn't want to be alone.

[Wry, wistful.]

I'm glad you had a good time.

I wish I knew you there. You could have been in our family.

"I might have tried to eat you."

Teasing, though; warmly.

"I might have eaten you back." Also joking.

"Truly, a battle for the ages. We were robbed."

“Now we’ll never know who may have triumphed,” Malcolm concedes.
