"Nothing did.  I changed his.  We were hired to do a job, as thieves this time.  Break into the king of Sentinel's palace and steal his crown.  So we scaled the palace's tallest tower, and came in through a balcony, then descended the tower's interior to the room where the crown was kept.  Only it was gone.  And we heard the footsteps of armored guards coming down two us.  We each made a break for the balcony.  Now this tower had two stairwells, one winding up on each side of it.  I ran up one way, he the other.

"I reached the balcony first.  It was fifty-fifty.  It could've been either of us who had gotten there.   And from the stairwell he'd gone up, I heard fighting.  The guards had gone down his, and met Meilir on his way up.  Now I knew had he been in my place and I in his, he would've left me.  Wouldn't have probably even given it a thought.

"I don't know what made me decide to turn around, but I went back for him.  Those soldiers were tough-- the King's private guard, and we both barely got out of there alive.  Meilir was confused on why I'd gone back and rescued him.  He thought maybe I wanted something, or I'd been trying to manipulate him.  Later, I think he realized why he'd really done. His attitude never really changed all that much, at least at first, but I could I tell I'd won his trust.  And because of that, he had mine."
