[He raises an eyebrow, although he's smiling. He likes Norton, and he's rather glad someone did arm him, but that's not quite the same as trusting him.]
A while back, my commanding officer showed up. He wasn't very nice and Norton tried to kill him, for me. That meant something. That he'd try that, just for me.
[It's not a traditional romantic gesture, but it affected Rawne deeply.]
I had a few friends, of a sort. Eventually. They're... they're dead, though. Gaunt and Feygor both.
[He takes a long drink. Talking about Gaunt's death still hurts, even though it's been over a year. It's why he came back. To save the Ghosts after Gaunt died.]

Not saying you're wrong about him. Just...not all reasons are great reasons, even if you have them.

I'm not happy he did that either. I thought... if someone tried to pressure him like that, he'd come to me.
