"And you're no less my responsibility than you were theirs." Though he wonders just what this response means, it's so similar to how Zinzi had reacted. Of course it might just be the bitterness of a felon against his designated jailers. "You've been here that long and not been assigned a permanent warden?"
Fives frowns at that. "... voluntarily?" He can't imagine choosing to leave, not if there's something you want badly enough to be worth coming here in the first place. Not to mention once having accepted the responsibility of an inmate's welfare and redemption.
The frown turns into a scowl. "Then he should have left before accepting a permanent assignment." He has no respect for a man who'll abandon a duty unfinished.
Harry struggles to be as angry about that state of affairs as, perhaps, he
should be. He liked Hornblower, respected him, and he can't exactly blame
him for fucking off back home.
"Yeah, maybe. Still. Lot of water under that bridge, warder."
"The fuck it does, you presumptuous cunt. I'd found plenty of you pricks
unbearable long before Hornblower, and God knows there's been plenty of you
since."
