[He has to take a moment. A hand placing itself against his chin as he attempts to truly comprehend the others' words, a squint in those dark gold, hawk-like eyes that are staring down at Karna.
'Karma'? 'No reason to despair'? Truly this man was putting on a brave face--as no prisoner of war would say such strong things in a situation like this. He... he simply cannot understand it at all.]
While it is true that you gave yourself up in exchange for the lives of those who were fighting alongside you, truly you must have some sort of regret for doing it. While you saved the lives of many, for all you know, I could have you beheaded at dawn in front of the entirety of Egypt to send your people a message.
Truly, do you still think that your actions themselves were not irresponsible as well? It is very likely that, as your men arrive home unscarred and with the story of your actions...
Your name will be spat on in the streets, and your family would know great shame.
Even still...
You know no despair, and you accept this 'karma' of yours?
As Anubis weighs the hearts of those in death, I truly must hear your answers to this. As your answers may do similar to weigh yourself in front of me. Your burden should be heavy, and yet you speak as if you are as light as the feather that tips the scale.
