"Collateral damage, unfortunately. When they were investigating Lake Circinus, a sea monster ate him." So there was nothing Kyle could have done, he would have just witnessed it too probably. There was a lot of collateral damage in the middle of this entire experience. Istredd can't count how many people died when the shrine monster was released. There were many more natives who died from the same things the Summoned survived.

"He saves all the money Thorne gives us sometimes instead of spending it." A little secret fact there, but hoarding money is something that makes sense. Istredd would be doing it himself, if he didn't have things he wanted to buy. "And that's part of why I'm going in town. I'm seeing if Thevan will buy my books. I have some from him but also from Nocwich and Luna." Istredd scraped and saved for one or two, not an extravagant amount, but they are his few belongings.

"It's fine, I memorized them and put them into my domain." So they aren't necessary for him to have. As he told Lucifer, his debts are Istredd's debts, it's as simple as that. "It's still not going to be enough to replace the primary provider, but it'll be something."
