(from here)

Well. He did lie to me about my past. Or, my father's past anyway.

[policier]

Is it not something you wish to discuss? You may tell me if I am speaking out of turn. I will take no offense.

[rosebyanyother]

I can't say I'm terribly fond of the topic.
Though I acknowledge I did bring it up. Not entirely willingly, mind you. But here we are.
Who are you, by the way?

[policier]

Javert. We do not know one another.

If it's any consolation, I don't often speak of my parents either. It's something of a shameful topic.

[rosebyanyother]

No. I suppose we don't.
Peter Nureyev is the name they gave me, though it's not the one I use now. I go by Morrigan Prince. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.


Since you showed consideration, I'll do the same and not ask just now. Unless you're willing to speak on it, of course.

[policier]

Both of my parents were convicts. I'm sure you can understand why I don't wish to speak of them.

Would you care, then, if I referred to you as Monsieur Prince?

[rosebyanyother]

Ah, yes. I do understand.
And I would be very grateful if you did, thank you.

[policier]

Very well. I am relieved to hear you say so. Many here are quick to turn to pity when I tell them these things. It's annoying.
