CIAN
"It occurred to me that you might have been taking for granted all the luxuries afforded to you." While Finn certainly lived no life of grandeur, his office, the privacy afforded to him in his own apartment and his office, his access to a whole host of ancient books...all of it was far more than he had when working at Molly's. "It has nothing to do with feeling, Finn. Your actions have consequences. It is as simple as that." And really, it was. Whatever righteousness Finn had, or felt he had, would not save him from the reality of his position, firmly beneath Cian.
'You were given information.' Cian agrees, very clearly not extending his agreement to what led him here. Interlacing his fingers in his lap and leaning back, the Eye offers the Spyglass a dusty laugh, pale eyes searching the ceiling for something before raining back down. "You have an owl who does not speak. Orders from Safrin to watch over her. To keep her safe. All of this—" This heroic streak, this need to move the right pieces, it was all in Finn's head. "—was just what you made of it. And now you sit here, having read a few pages of a book you can't possibly have understood, implying that you know better than me."
As for the weight of this all? Cian smirks, reaching for the cigarette left smouldering on a glass ashtray. "You'll have to take my word for it that some of us can carry burdens that others cannot."
