"I never claimed to be good. Only right."

Adrien looked back at him for a long time.
"....yeah," he said softly. "You were always right."

"'Right' and 'good' are two entirely different matters. I was never good."

"I suppose I thought..."
He looked at Adrien.
"I don't know why. I hated not knowing why- I could understand everything but that, it seemed-"

"It just... doesn't make sense. "'m not good but I'm hardly ever right, either. I wasn't even right about you - " He sighed. "Remember, first time we went to Karnak? I told you what I've done. And then I asked why you could forgive me. This was it, wasn't it?"

"But it still makes no sense," he said, shaking his head. "Why would you forgive me? It was stupid and senseless. There wasn't any point to it.... no grand design for the greater good. It wasn't even really for the money. I coulda just knocked him out. I mean -"
He was clearly getting agitated and jittery; he'd overestimated how capable he was of talking about this. "It wasn't anything like what you did."

He looked up at him.
"That was a long time ago."

"It was, wasn't it?" he said softly.

He nodded, then stood up and slowly walked over to him.
"If you can forgive me for that because you loved me, I can't stop loving for you this..."

"This was a great deal larger-"

"But you can justify it where I can't."

Adrian said nothing. He just looked up at him.
