[Tarrlok listens quietly as Colress talks him through the answer, putting the kettle on the burner and just... kind of continuing to stare. Like... yeah. That all makes sense, and even sounds achievable, but... he’s still quiet after Colress finishes his explanation, just... kind of waiting for the water to start boiling.
It doesn’t take him until the water boils to respond, at least. That’s... something.]
...I... see. I...
...
I know I lost sight of things to an extent, but... I thought what I was doing was right, or at least that the ends justified the means. You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, you know? Republic City really was a mess even before I got there, and I didn’t think I would be able to accomplish anything if I didn’t take a forceful approach. Trying to be decent just ruined everything when I was a child, anyway.
[He sighs as he gets the cups and the tea bags out.]
So I can’t help but wonder if any of it actually matters in the long run. I don’t even know if I will change anything back home, even if I let my ego take the back seat.
