[There it is, "Your Highness". Dimitri hates it when people are needlessly formal with him, but since he can tell the show of deference isn't at all genuine, he swallows down his displeasure and lets it slide.]

You've lived a difficult life, [he says, more a statement than a question.]

There is some truth to your words. Everyone has a breaking point. I've done things now that I never would have dreamed of doing when I wanted for nothing. The line between good and evil blurs when you're clawing your way through blood and muck just to survive.

[Dimitri exhales slowly.]

I do not know myself what it is exactly that makes someone good or bad, but I've seen it in others. Only a few people, but it's there, nonetheless.
