My, ah -- apologies to anyone that I offended during that flood. I wasn't especially given to pleasantries as an Inmate and when I was it was often with an ulterior motive.

If nothing else it gives one perspective, doesn't it? I've often said I didn't truly change, but the evidence certain speaks for itself, oui?

You were older, then. How?

My apologies for the confusion and my rather uncouth behavior, Mademoiselle. [Even though he was probably nicer to her than he was anybody else.]

Upon my graduation, one thing that I requested was to be given a bit of my youth back. For all intents and purposes I appear some twenty to twenty-five years younger than I was at my actual demise.

Still a man getting on in his years, to be sure. It only does so much to improve, ugly mortal that I am.

[She shrugs it off, unconcerned.]

It's a wonder more people don't make such requests. That was brilliant of you, mortal or not.

This ship is far too perilous for one not to look after their health however they may.

Besides, it is a rare one who deigns to take the arm of an old man.

I find old women to be less rare.
