[ which at this point is a sort of familiar sound. The one that says 'I'll remember to come back to this later.']
You are, and for many years it was hard to be around Englishmen, I will not lie to you. I feared often if they might turn, if not into monsters then to trap me and betray me. The many years however have dulled some of that pain. I fight beside them like they were my own now. But you need to understand this at least - for many, even your poorest Englishman, no matter who he is, when he comes to the lands that Britain rules? He could get a local man killed, and no one would stop him because he is English and his word always matters more than anyone elses. It makes all of us afraid of your people. It is one of the great benefits of the United India Company's rule, and because of it, many of them will do wicked things in far away lands from their home because they know they will never get punished for it. So they are happy to turn the other way, even those that are not turned to Half-breed, will happily be complicit, even when they know the truth. Because what does it matter if it's not their home?
