"Well, there you are, me too." He smiles. "Do you want a drink? There's not
much in here yet, but I could make tea or coffee."
"Thank you," he says, though he doesn't want to be felt sorry for. "That's
not everyone's opinion. In my experience," he answers, "when people find
that you have something secret and all of your own, they want to take it
away from you or have it for themselves. Especially if you're not like
them." His face goes a little hard and he realizes how bitter he's coming
off. "That's why I have the wards. Not to be some hermit. To protect
myself."
