"... I shouldn't be surprised when we unearth yet more commonalities, but I am." Glacius blinks, but then his expression goes a little more solemn. "When I first came here I wasn't even used to relying on people, let alone living with someone, let alone humans. For countless years I'd been operating alone on my missions, and thought that was how I liked it. Not only did it give me space to be alone with my thoughts whenever I needed it, and allow me to work as I saw fit... but it also meant that I was the only one at risk. Things seemed... simpler that well."

He folds his hands in his lap and thinks about it for a moment. "But simpler does not mean easier. I came to realize that when I was brought here, and I was tormented in all the ways the gods could come up with. Bearing all of that alone was hard on me... you saw the evidence of that first hand when you found me locked away in my apartment after... well." So he still has a hard time so much as saying it. "The rest is as you know it. In any case, if I have managed to make a positive difference in your life that is anything at all like the one you have made in mine... then I can consider that one good accomplishment in this place, at least."

And just like that, the sadness is gone from his face as he considers the man before him. It's always nice to know that he makes a difference, especially in the lives of the people that he cares about.
