[Hmm. Well, he should probably deflect at this point, but there's something about her completely dispassionate 'whoa!' reaction to anything he says that makes it feel kind of fine to just tell her the rest of it. It's the emotional reactions he really minds.]

This was when we were students. The three of us were recruited, in training to become. . . the word for it is Volstrucker, but it is something like, um, secret police, or assassins working for the Empire? [Probably the best description is wizard KGB.] Executing rebels and traitors. The training was difficult, though, and I couldn't complete it, I lost my mind a little bit, so I went to the asylum and they both finished it and still do that work to this day.

[And now a lot of people feel sorry for and worry about this poor awkward guy who is a trained assassin.]

... I never would have imagined you had a background like that, Widogast-san.

[Wizard KGB?? This is some wild shit. Can't believe Caleb is played by Scarlett Johansson in the live action adaptation. She gives him a bit of a curious look, as if closely examining him.]

Well, you look like you're doing pretty okay for yourself nowadays. That's good.

[It is truly wild shit. Anyway, he laughs a little at that, somewhat humorlessly. His emotions are fairly even, though.]

. . . It was a long time ago, and as I said, I didn't finish the training, I got out while I was still young.

Do you regret not finishing the training? I imagine you wouldn't have met Lionett-san and everyone else you currently know if you had.

[She. Will respectfully not mention Molly given the, uh, very recent beheading of Mollymauk.]

[katzepaw]

[There is a sharp spike of anger at that question.]

No. I only regret that two people who remain very dear to me did complete it, and are still there to this day.
