Agent A was in paleness and flushes.
"Maybe your brother has his set of troubles. If you weren't constantly at odds with him, why would he be so guarded around you, unwilling to face you openly?"
Skyler spoke with a straight face, "I'm not opposing him. I walk the path of righteousness, and he skulks in the shadows. Good and evil can never coexist."
The light of righteousness shone upon the earth.
Agent A was speechless. "What's right and wrong? Five thousand years of human history haven't clarified these questions. It's all about the victors and the vanquished."
"Harming your flesh and blood and your brother is wrong," Skyler declared.
Agent A snorted. "Ancient monarchs killed their wives, children, and fathers. Brother turned against brother, and yet they're still praised through the ages. History is written by the victors."
Skyler blinked, "Raines, why do you always take Geoffrey's side? He's the one who poisoned you. Do you condone his actions?"
Agent A gave him an exasperated look.
"Don't think I'm unaware. Geoffrey was just the fall guy, taking the heat for Fredric and Leopold. The ones who poisoned me were them."
Skyler puffed up his cheeks. "That's too much. Fredric and Leopold have been so good to you, even working on an antidote, and you suspect them? That's like biting the hand that feeds you. I'm going to tell them not to bother with the antidote anymore."
Agent A was fuming. "You're just here to rile me up, aren't you?"
Skyler leaned in close with a mischievous grin. "I came to check on you and shoot the breeze. You're starting to act just like Geoffrey, quick to anger."
Agent A felt uncomfortable under his gaze. "I'm going to sleep. I don't want to deal with you anymore. Just go."
