“Spare the the self-aggrandizement, Magician. What you are is a blind idiot. Because this impossibly beautiful creature, he loved you, Magician. Do you have any idea how inaccessible his heart is, how fragile? You held his entire soul in the palm of your hand. But you wasted it. You didn’t merely reject him, which could have been borne. Or even enjoy him properly, the inclination to which is…entirely understandable. No, instead of you’ve used him, irresponsibly, for pleasures far more trivial.You’re like a child who doesn’t know how to care for his toys, you’ve hurt him and left him even more afraid than he was when you met. Do you know how much work you’ve made for me, just to begin to put the light back into his eyes? He may never love me as much as he loved you. But don’t think you’ll never have him, not ever again. Do you know why? It’s because I’ve begun to teach him he has worth, you vain charlatan. I regret that he’s not in his right mind at the moment, so he could tell you himself, he does have an alarming way with articulation… but suffice to say that the good Doctor has reason to believe he’s both precious and rare, a prize to be treasured...and not a cheap trinket to be used and discarded.”
