“So, you wanted to know about our brother?” TalOS asked as he leaned back into the chair, “Perturabo is leaving Terra because he cannot comprehend the idea of rest.”
There was confusion written upon the face of Roboute as he tried to understand what TalOS had said. He looked over to Dorn who gave a sigh to some effect, “So he ran from Terra because he was fearful of rest?”
“In a sense.” TalOS answered with a matter of fact tone.
Roboute Guilliman looked at the two of them with confusion that was paramount, “I must not fully understand our brother as I never fought alongside him. Rogal, what was your experience with him?”
Rogal Dorn, who had been writing while talking, placed away his tools as the conversation got underway, “I had served alongside our brother on two fronts and both times he did not have a moment’s rest or sleep. When we were building a battleline together he did not take a moment to rest as they were being built. When the battle arrived he stayed upon the frontlines until the foe was defeated utterly. He pushes himself too hard and for that he will fall.”
“I see…” Roboute seemed more concerned now while shaking his head at the endevor, “I do not think I will ever understand Perturabo. Even what you have shared with us, TalOS, he is more of an enigma.”
“He will learn his lesson in due course.” Rogal said as he reached over and took in a drink of wine, “He cannot continue like that forever. My Father tried to do the same and he died young. Perturabo will fall, we will wait for that to happen.”
TalOS gave a nod to those words, “It is the best we can do. Our brother will fall and we must pick him up when that time comes.”
Gulliman sighed as he heard those words, “It is… pressing to know that he has further to fall. TalOS, if you do not mind me asking, why is it that you talk and work like this with our brother? From the outside it looks as if you are a senior trying to help the juvenile get through his troubled years, but with a man who killed his sons because he thought them corrupt.”
>People like that need the most care
>He's intelligent and interesting. A sort of fascination.
>No one else will
>At first it was morality, now it is honor. He defended the Federation, so he is a friend even if he does not want to be.
