I'm glad that you got the chance to kill him.

I framed my master. I didn't really mean to - I was just a kid. He had let someone else hurt me, and he did nothing. So I decided to take something from the other person. I had it hidden in my master's study, to distract attention, but I didn't realize he'd be killed over it.

After that...

I didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it. I wasn't certain I'd survive it, but once there was a chance of course I said whatever I could to get out of trouble. [He didn't want to die. He still doesn't. He also doesn't think he's on the Barge for just his sensible amount of lying and manipulation. Though those might play a small part.]

If I go to a different world, I won't have magic. I wouldn't be able to protect myself, like I could there. That's what I know how to do.
