Got a question fer all y'all. You ever... wish you could change somethin'? Y'ever had one of those moments when you just... wish you could go back'n... fix it all?
[A pause, as he seems to tap his foot down. His spur jingles in time, so one can only assume.]
... though I figger that here, it'd be goin' forward an' fixin' it. Three years ago fer me, three years ahead fer Siren's Port, I reckon... [One could probably hear a faint sigh if they tried. This is hard for him to admit, even bring up again.] ... a man named Neil Marshall was killed. Man I loved like a brother, 'cause... he was my brother. An' no matter how long ago it's been, I keep wonderin'... maybe I coulda... done somethin' different. Maybe I coulda jus' stayed behind a bit longer. I dunno.
... so how do y'all keep it from gettin' to ya? Even I'll admit I ain't got a clue. Guess that's my real question I should be askin'. Jus' lemme know. I'll... I'll get back to ya.
[He tries to turn off the voice, but just before, in a quiet voice that was meant to be just for himself:]
Dammit, Marshall, keep it together...

Cuz he sounds more responsible, mate. And usually the oldest is more responsible. You got me sympathy, though, bein' the older one. I always wanted to be the younger brother. You get away with everythin'.

That's the thing - Neil was such a sweet kid, he never had nothin' to get away with. But, well, I was a bit of a troublemaker as a young'un.
