Regrets: those things that Neoptolemus didn't have. Though, if one wanted to be technical, he did have one particular regret-- that he hadn't taken down more of the Trojan royal family. It wasn't because he hated them, or even found them remotely interesting, but it was for the greater glory. The chance to snatch all of those precious lives. To him, the fall of Troy had been a defeat. A beautiful defeat that should have ended with more split blood.
He crossed his arms, leather crunching with the movement. "I'm the one who dealt the killing blow. And I would do it all over again just to watch Priam crawl on his hands and knees like a dog, pleading for his life, as if I'd spare him like I never spared the son I cut open in front of him."
Oh, how sweet bloodlust was.
