[It's been so many years since the marquis was young that he'd almost forgotten what it was like. He had been so small, ill-fed and underweight, and so easily broken. Which, really, explains a lot about what he's become - none of which he particularly wanted explained to the Barge as a whole.]

[To distract himself somewhat from this unfortunate reality, he has begun work on a compendium of stories, as he has nothing else to do with his time. Much of his work is done in the library, but much is also done in the CES, which becomes, variously, an abandoned city in a mishmash of styles, a thick, temperate, and foggy hardwood forest, and a riverside. He works mostly from memory and attempts comprehensiveness, though his writings as late veer toward tales of the trickster.]

Yes you do. You like that you hold that sway. It gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling all over.

Do you not value our friendship because you didn't need to do anything for it except be yourself?

...

That sentence made a little more sense in my head.

Friends should like you for who you are.

I know.

I'm happy to be your friend in the short run.
