I could ask you the same thing.

You could.

Sounds like a nice way to waste both of our time.

And why do you insist on wasting mine?

Don't.

I know what you are. I know what you do. [ More like he's been reading through Javert's messages and drawing any number of conclusions. ] You choose easy targets and play mind games, AM. You would have whipped a man to death if the outcome wouldn't *bore* you. There's being a monster, and then there's being something else. Something other.

So I'll ask you again.

Who are you?

Do you now? What am I then?

If I supposedly choose "easy" targets, then why would I be "bored" with whipping a man to death? That seems rather contradictory, wouldn't you think? And what man are we speaking of that I did not whip to death?

[Easy targets will take the edge off his hunger, more or less, but he does like a challenge. It's just that he only likes a challenge he can win.]

*Too* easy, maybe. Like you want your wins to be earned, not handed to you. Like there's no merit without a challenge.

Like we're the same that way.

[ He's going to have tread carefully, here. He's not in the habit of comparing himself to those he considers beneath him, even if there's intention behind it. ]

There's more than one? Is whipping the child-murderering monsters in line with the Fog's agenda?

Interesting. So you enjoy spying on me? Or you just enjoy drawing baseless conclusions?

As for the whipping, Cellist, nothing I had done matched the description you gave. Javert, my employer, asked me to whip him. Should that sound absurd, ask him yourself. Besides, it fits very well with the punishments that I give the prisoners, and Javert himself is, as you put it, a child-murdering monster. And do you know who permits me to give those punishments? Javert. If you take issue with me, then go yell at him instead.
