Apologies. What have you done that you wish you could apologize for?
Nothing.
No, truly. I can see that you do not believe me. I have better things to do with my time, but if you insist, a brief list (but it will cover the most salient points):
Stealing a magical talisman from a holy man in Tibet, and his power for my own, even though it caused his death - no. Hastening the waning of Claudius Giovanni's star in the eyes of Augustus - no. Stealing the woman Claudius Giovanni wanted to Embrace as his own childe and making her my own - no. Using Isabel to do my dirty work in New Orleans with the deranged Harbinger - no. Plotting behind the backs of Augustus and the other elders of the family to steal eternity's secrets from them - no. Expressing my displeasure at anyone when they failed me - no. Planning on the overthrow of Creation itself and remaking it in my vision - no. All the experiments to create a reborn vampire as mortal, even though those experiments may have ushered in the events of Gehenna - no. (I learned many things that are still valuable to me now and will be in future.) Putting myself and my interests first, always, and in future - no.
