Makoru says nothing, simply sinking deeper into the bed.

Claudius still looks like he's about to smack Makoru, but eventually lowers the staff.

Claudius: "Why? Why would you do it?"

Makoru: "I told you I was a little drunk and--"

Claudius: "That's not what I meant."

Makoru raises an eyebrow, then gradually the confusion clears and he's left to sulk.

Makoru: "Because she reminded me of myself. Not in the good ways. Before I met Torene... after the Alik'r took Iman. The last times I saw that look on someone's face, I nearly killed myself and Ghede literally became evil incarnate."

He looks up at Paris.

Makoru: "I'm sorry, if that means anything. I suppose I'll just sit here... maybe wait for Torene, if she'll take me back once she hears about this."

Claudius says nothing, simply keeping his steely gaze locked on Makoru.
