[He rolled a 9, so VICTORY FOR YOSHIKO.] Looks like this one's on me. [He shows the card and then lays it back down on the deck.]
The thing I'm most proud of... [It's difficult. He's proud of a lot of things. He takes pride in everything, honestly.] When I was in the circus, we came through a very small town, and everyone was actually excited to see us- not a skeptical eye in the place. And there was gang of teenagers who were just awful. Worst kids you've ever met, all because their families were merchants and had a little bit of coin to spare. And they were just bloody awful to this girl whose parents must have been drunks or undesirables or she was an orphan- I never saw either way- but she was in a bad way. And that kid clearly needed some joy in her life. She was scrounging everywhere to put together enough copper to come see the show.
So one day, I'm making my rounds, trying to drum up interest and I see these shite kids picking on her and trying to take her money. And I...
[...used a Blood Maledict on one without actively knowing what it was or what he was doing, to be honest.] ...I took care of the situation politely and reasonably, and I paid that girl's admission out of my own purse. And I guarantee that kid was the happiest person at the circus that night.
[He shrugs.] Sometimes when the world is bullshit, the best thing we can do is bring joy into the life of a person who has never had any.
