The fact that the Prison Master wanted to sit down and have a conversation was strange. The things he said were even stranger.
He spoke like an old grandpa who truly just wanted to have a conversation with his junior, going on about the things he'd experienced as the warden of the Eternal Sanctum.
However, Damien couldn't believe that a man like the Prison Master had this kind of side to him.
As everything else about him stated, he had lived for far too long and seen far too much to have emotions like this. His world had to be a dull grey color by now, highlighted only by his sacred duty.
There had to be a reason for his attitude, and as they continued their conversation, Damien did his best to find it.
"...the many challengers on the walls are not the only ones who have come. There have been those like you in the past, people who wanted to explore the sanctum out of nothing more than genuine curiosity," the Prison Master said.
