"You could've told me anything!" He throws his hands into the air and lets out a wheezing sigh of exasperation. "Like how the Protector has a stick up his ass, or how he treats questioning him as a death sentence." Garrot's tone gets dire, even a little frantic as he continues. "Because now I have to figure out how to survive the Protector without destroying the world or making my entire family disown me!" And then he pauses to take a few breaths before, uh...

"Any ideas?"
