It's not that I don't trust the kedan. Where I come from, things like magic don't exist. The people here.. powers, winter. 'Tu Vishan,' as you call it. None of it fits with what I know. And that's a hard thing to change.

[Costigan shifts, leaning forward. He never takes his eyes away from the man. His voice becomes more conspiratorial by nature.]

I was a cop. A police officer. Before I came here. I worked undercover, to help people them keep the peace.

[The undercover pauses, leaving a space for Evandau to, ideally, pick up the unspoken suggestion he's hinting at. At last, he straightens a little, his voice gaining volume back to normal again.]

I know that probably sounds like bullshit, with me sittin' here. Look, I don't expect any favors- I plan to do my time. But I don't want to be the villain, intentional or otherwise.
