"I don't care about what might have happened. What did was that you may have undermined what was always going to be require delicate handling even if no one had been killed. This is the work," he says, blunt like picking up a cat by its scruff.

"If that's not something you can stomach, say so now. I'll personally guarantee that your days become infinitely simpler."

There's plenty of manual labor to be done in the Gallows, and brainless murdering work that requires nothing more than the willingness to put an arrow in a person.

Edgard is tired. Nothing he says will matter. The fight goes out of him and he stops dead, sighing into his sticks.

"doubt even you could make my life simpler." He mumbles mostly to himself.

and then louder, "Made the wrong call." He knows that's what he needs to say.
"Should've done what you told me." He means it and that's where he should stop, but instead he continues,

"Don’t know how to not care about my comrades though. If that means I don’t have the stomach, then maybe you're right."

It's a little like watching a loose sail flog in the wind. In the absence of tension to guide its shape and direction, canvas will only flop uselessly under the force acting on it. Acquiring some sense for when to apply that pressure and to what degree is fundamental to the working of any rig.

"Are you suggesting that I'm not appropriately concerned for the welfare of the people under my command?"

Edgard puts his hand on his face. Shit.

"No!" is his initial response of frustration. Here he is fucking it up again and everything he says it making it worse. He takes a long breath, trying to figure out how to untangle this knot.

"Was trying to say that 'm not trying to--to--" to what? He cringes inwardly at his inability to speak clearly. He takes another breath. Just spit it out, Edgard!

"Didn't mean to not listen or fuck up the mission, even though that's what happened, trying protect someone I thought was about to get killed."

And maybe now Edgard is going to be killed. Maybe it would be easier than this conversation.
