Suited me? God, fuck you, Barney. You don’t think that was the hardest choice I ever made? I tried to stay! I tried to take her with me! God, how I tried, but she was so scared of being abandoned that she stayed with what she thought would protect her, lot of fucking good.
You think I enjoyed that? Just leaving you behind with nothing but questions to go live in the middle of the Blight? I did what I had to do, and I’m not ashamed of the lives I did save and the impact I made. And you know what? It fucking panned out, Barney. Clive would have been dead had I not intervened. What’s your God think about all that?
[Cid grabs Barnabas’ horns and jostles his head a bit in frustration.]
You had information I didn’t, unless Ultima’s a fucking moron! Clive was just languishing for thirteen years, you know! You could have had him any time you wanted if he was so important to reunite with.
[He shakes his head. He couldn’t let Barnabas tangle him up when he just presented him with new information. Tantalizingly new information.]
