...maybe a month or two into my time here, I killed a man who...said things an' used words I never wanted to hear again, not in a place where I'm supposed to start over.
Iroh came to my room an' asked me why. I told him. He listened. I was expecting a lecture - it was a talk, though. Man to man. He said he understood, an' he said why he thought this would make things worse for me. He never acted like I had to accept that, when I disagreed. He told me to think about what job I wanted on board, and then he left.
I haven't been violent since - granted, I wasn't before, but it didn't become a habit. I'm not sure what I'd do if it happened today. But I've respected my Warden more and more ever since. And I trust him to respect me.
We never acted like we were one on this whole riot business. An' my problem's never been with y'all, not really.
