Thanks for giving me a chance. No matter where you go, you always seem to get stuck with other peoples' expectations of you, huh? [Being the Ashen Demon, then Rhea's machinations and the church... It's some poor luck. Claude shakes his head.] I promise I won't burden you with that. But if I ever slip up, you have permission to... I dunno, cast some exotic spell from that book on me?
