Nobody asked for this

[Yun Tian]

No. YOU specifically.
What do you do?

[Robert Stephens]

Me??

...before mum died, back when I lived with her and Charlie, I worked in a kitchen. Just meal prep stuff, you know. Cutting veggies, peeling potatoes, taking out the garbage.

Here... the Hazletons took care of money problems. Right now I'm using what's left of my savings.

[Yun Tian]

The Hazletons sound like nobles.
My family was the same.

[Robert Stephens]

They're evil! They want to resurrect some ancient force that will wipe out half the population!
And
How can they force my brother into marriage, only to use him? They never cared about him. Or her! Evil, I tell you. Your family couldn't have been like that.

[Yun Tian]

Ah. No. We were nothing like that. We worshipped the sky and the sky was bountiful. We were the guardians of the sky, nobles. And I was one of their warriors. My family was very proud of me. But I didn't get need all these things. Resumes? Applications? I just needed to prove my worth and my worth was acknowledged with my position.

[Robert Stephens]

Sooo... you inherited everything, essentially.

[Yun Tian]

Yes.

[Robert Stephens]

You know here, people like the Hazletons are looked down on, right? They get by on their heritage and inheritance without working for it.

[Yun Tian]

I must work for it. I have to prove my worthiness.

[Robert Stephens]

How?

[Yun Tian]

Through loyalty. Through honoring my family and their beliefs. Through my skills with sword and bow.

[Robert Stephens]

So... by killing. And following orders.

[Yun Tian]

Yes. Do you take issue with it?

[Robert Stephens]

No

A little. It's sort of like what they made Charlie and HER do and it's not fair.

[Yun Tian]

It is fair. It's the price we pay for our privileged lineage.
