Oh. You mean your parents weren't married. I've never understood why that has anything to do with you. My father was fucking the nanny, what does that make me?
[A little bluster as he tries to get back on track.]
My condolences to your friend, who must be on a par with paper to judge by the state of me. As it happens I am a prophet, as redundant an occupation as that may now be.

[There's a pause, and a sigh.]
My father's family has been very good to me.
You didn't know? It's in my name.

Fitz? Fitzbastard?

Are you a prophet as well?
no subject
[There are more words but they choke off for a moment]
Did I tell you that?
no subject
No.
You remind me of a prophet I know. Why?
[Another pause.]
Are you?
no subject
[Yes, the italics are audible. He's startled. ]
...Do we?
no subject
[Sharp side of his tongue and all.]
And well. You're not as pale.
