[Eeek. I hope you get a new keyboard soon.]
Kalen blinks when Kiara refers to Wesley as his. And then laughs, though it is not entirely a happy sound. "Not in this world. Maybe, maybe there is a world where that could be, but not in this one. I will likely see him again. He has access to rare books and probably can tell in at least some cases what occult books are worth our time. That's not a bad skill to have.
"But in the sense I suspect you may be thinking...no. Whatever he might be, even if we go with the most optimistic of every possible interpretation and he has a soul and he is an uncomplicated kind of good and all of those things - it's still irrelevant here. And I'm not even saying he's good. I don't think that he is evil, but that...that is not precisely the same thing."
There is a soft little huff at Serafine's statement, but it's not so much protest. He remembers when he came here. When he attacked Derrick in an alley because he was there. He knows how ridiculous it must seem to be examining the degree to which monsters might be human. "I'm not planning to bring him by the Chantry. Or propose marriage. I'm just curious. He seems...different. And I want to understand why. Because I want to know if he's just really, really good at playing a part he wants to or if the things I'm reading in him are right. Which is kind of like like trying to figure out if you've actually made friends with a tiger, in that it having not turned on you yet is hardly concrete evidence it won't tomorrow.
"I'll be careful."
