I am the last high holy king of the Weald.
Or Old Weald, so-called to distinguish it from modern mockeries

It depends on him.
Or the Admiral, I suppose.
[While he's here, he can't know for
sure
that Odd's heart hadn't been restored.]

The Admiral's not a great person to depend on.
How's the magic work?

What's the nature of your interest in him?

He's a naive kid who's a few centuries behind the curve compared to his inmate. I'd like to make sure he doesn't wind up completely broken by the experience.

Those true enough facts, not an answer to why.

I like him. And I sympathize with both of you.
I've been to prison, and I've been an inmate here, and I've lost the ability to make choices more than once.

Tell me about it.
I'd lie to you about my motivations, but you sound like you'd be able to tell if I did.

I have experience looking past lies. Besides, you would not be able to find one that would serve you any better than the truth.
He's of same age as my eldest son was, which is a man grown, however much it can feel like it is not much more than a child.

Yes.
[And he's never been one to think that qualifiers make it any better.]

How did it feel, killing this one?

Like nothing. I would say it comes from four hundred years of killing those I care about, but I was never one who held much sympathy for my captors.
You should avoid the feeling that you can understand my situation, that which makes you tempted to hold out any sympathy for me.

Believe me, I'm trying. I killed my own inmate and she wanted me to leave her dead.
But we're getting off-topic here. My problem is preventing this from happening in the future.

I assume you did not abide by her wish.
As I said, Odd may be young but he is old enough for the world to treat him as an adult. I believe that makes it his problem.

I agree. But I'm also offering, as his friend, to
help
with that problem.

For now.
Talk later. He's waking up.
