...If an explanation for my own actions will set you more at ease in the knowledge that I do not distrust you specifically, I will provide one. Some time before even the station, I was in a place called the Mithraeum. It was very dangerous for me there. However, I believed my own quarters, at least, to be safe from the person who would have done me harm. I am accomplished with wards, and the wards around my quarters were my most intricate work.
One evening, he stole into my chambers while I was in the bath. He destroyed my wards, and he came very near to taking my life.
Many of the things I have experienced have been more painful or dangerous, but I suppose in that instance, it was the fact I had believed I was completely safe at the moment he attacked that made it difficult for me to move past it.
I believe you are a good man, Hope. It is merely a situation that causes me to feel an illogical paranoia I cannot quite shake.
