Went to school. Had a couple part time jobs I got fired from. I ran away from home a couple times, drove my dad and brother insane trying to keep up with me. They did pretty good, though.
[The answer is nothing. But some things are universal. Teenagers are supposed to be little shits. He's relieved to hear that, at least, seemed normal.]
Wish I could say who my family was. All I have is a brother from the breach and...I liked him alright.
Was in my care for the month. He brought me here for the first time. Showed me how to work this thing. [He holds up his wrist with the gauntlet.] Blew up benches.
Didn't even know what it was when I took it. It was more of an accident. Had me on that table, cuttin' me open, and I got my hand free and it locked on. Seemed to scare 'em, so I just ran. Didn't know what it was until later.

What did you do around here? Aside from freeze your ass off in the water?

[He picks up the wine in the little cup and takes a drink of it.]
Mm, and I figured out how to take the damn thing off.

[She glances at it.]
What else does it do other than blow things up?

Ain't much of a story.

It's the biggest story you have.

Stole a bunch of gold from a cattle rancher once. Sorta remember that.

But it was heavy. And that's the only story I got. Your turn.

You know I'm in here for smuggling, yeah?
