"We are, in our way." They talked through their memories and they have each other to lean on, when the days feel bad, and Istredd has sought her out more than once. Sometimes only to hold her, or remind each other that they're there. It feels like it's bits and pieces, adjusting to the end of what they know.

Istredd is so tired all of a sudden and he creates chair so he can simply sit down and try not to look at the many words on his boards for a few seconds. Stop for five seconds, would it kill him? Kyle can make a chair if he wants to do the same, but he feels winded, like the effort finally caught up to him. And it requires a lot of mental effort to do what he's doing in here.

"The hardest part I think is when you love and hate where you come from. I always had a lot of disdain for the Brotherhood, and for Stregobor, but they still were ... a part of me." His family/organization, his mentor. They raised him, and while it was very messed up, the way that they did, what he went through to survive, it doesn't change that it's his experience.

Stregobor he's spoken about before in terms of the mentor who was a bad person, but now he's dead, and that is something Istredd is in no way used to yet.
