[ Fontaine loves their rumors. Following trials, it spreads like wildfire. Business shared, opinions made and yet… this one? It was buried over time. Lyney felt a little shell shocked by it, almost betrayed in some weird way. He has his allegiances with the House but from his knowledge - Wriothesley was never among their ranks… huh.
The more Wriothesley talks, the more Lyney settles. Eyes shut, back to the chair and his heart settling from anxiousness.
There's a similarity, he thinks of how well people spoke of him and Lynette. Ulterior motives that he's sure Wriothesley have no clue of for his own life too. What paths they walked... different, but similar. He never got a chance to kill the ones that hurt Lynette – Father did and deep down, he is still bitter about it. ]
Life has a funny way to guide you. I’m sure you never would have chose this for yourself, would you?
[ Another question, another echo. He never wanted to be the Knave — but it saves his siblings from being groomed or the other House orphans from being trained. Lyney took the heavy brunt of work, sinned and let his hands bloody too.
He once told the traveler all he did was fib and oh, how that lie stung. ]
Rotten people deserve to be lost to the world. Squandering chances no one has but them… it’s a bit sick. The land of justice turned its eyes to those who deserved it. Who are we to blame? The people, our Archon, our order? No. I blame no one, but we took comfort in people that showed us kindness and allowed us to make choices. For better or worse, that was a luxury denied from us.
