"Darach, Tomas is indeed 'messed up'.  He is also very egotistical, to believe that he is the only one of us who has experienced hardship.  There are many forms of hardship.  Were it not for my mother I would have gone insane.  Then she was gone and I found my father already moving another woman in before she was barely cold in her grave.  I willingly took to 'the streets' as Tomas calls it, to find a better life.  I managed.  I did not steal.  I worked.  I was determined and I did not feel that the world owed me something.  That is what angers me most about Tomas.  He believes he is owed something--that the gods somehow deprived him.  I have heard that for every gift the gods give, they exact a price in return, which is only just.  The gave him a great gift--the ability to use magic in ways that none of us can match.  In payment, they took his parents.  The greater the gift, they higher the price. Instead of learning to use his gift to make our world a better place, he chooses to wallow in self pity and grind us all under his heel. Well, I say to Oblivion with him. Damn him forever and my Molag Bol claim his soul. The sooner, the better.

As for not letting him 'get to me', that is why I left my own room. I will not sit in his poisonous presence."
