Yeah. The stuff he's been describing is pretty familiar, all the way down to hearing it through the veil and all. We've always been pretty close to our dead.
[she takes another drink, thunking the bottle down on the table after.]
And he's all obsessed with a guy who didn't have the guts to stand by actually doing something about it.
He is, but he's one of us, too. Our supposed Regent.
...we had someone who tried to change the way things were for us, before. Tried to find a better way. His sister, our King-- she was murdered by him and a leader she was working with. Someone she trusted, who was supposed to be at her side.
His followers all think he's saving us in a better way, but all he's doing-- he just wants to take out everyone who isn't Sarkaz. Bring catastrophes down on 'em all.
...When I first met you, I assumed you were a tiefling. They have similar horns and tails, and people where I'm from do sometimes consider them to be akin to devils, or at least related to them. They're distrusted or viewed as evil.
Maybe all of us understand him a little because even if he is... incredibly focused on his own specific cause, to the exclusion of all else, all of us are familiar enough with injustice.

We've got enough shit in common for me to be pissed he's letting this guy jerk him around like that. Acting like his life matters more.

More like... I get it. The way he is about things, the kind of situation he's been in. That's why he's so damn frustrating.

The way your kind are treated reminds you of the way his kind are treated?

The person you want revenge against, is he someone who hurt Sarkaz?
