"I don't think they're good or bad. They just... are. You're painted as all sorts of things. A hero, a monster, a savior, a murderer, a conservationist, a hunter... any of them could be true or false. I don't think it matters though. You're a person, not a collection of stories."
"That sounds good... but you fail to be a symbol of peace."
Theren chuckles. "All accurate descriptions."
"I'm not trying to be one."
"Really? Some of them have to be misguided at least. Not every legend has merit to it." He raises his eyebrows beneath his fedora.
"Then why are you seeking justice? I am connected to every fear in this world, and many good people fear you. Almost everyone who knows about you does, actually. But you don't fear. This... concerns me. So, can you tell me why you're doing this?" He has an almost fatherly aspect. Not mad, just a little bit disappointed.
"You havent seen the things ive done."
"Justice. Like i said. Tyrants and monsters killed my family, i want my revenge."
"No." He admits. "And to be blunt, I don't care. You are who you are now. If you wouldn't do those things again, I don't think it makes sense for me to worry about them."
"Ah. Your form of justice has nothing to do with the actual definition. That's exactly what everyone was afraid of. I can't do anything about that. But it remains unfortunate to see." He sighs. "It's my fault. I should have taught you better."
"Fair enough." he says with a shrugs, sipping some tea
"Taught me? You were never around. You were the first nightmare i slayed. Then i was taken in by the Order of the Ghostslayers. Thats where i was taught things."

"What kind of tea is that, and, more importantly, is it good?" Sytosc asks.
"I was your first lesson in facing your fears. I should have fought harder. Shown you how dangerous it is to use violence for everything. But that isn't my job, I guess. My job was to die, and I succeeded. I could try and teach you now, but it would be futile, wouldn't it? You don't love. You don't fear. You don't understand justice. Only revenge. I don't see a happy future for you. I'm sorry."
