And you don’t ever think about it? Either through sheer discipline or by sheer force of habit, you just … become?
I have to admit, that’s an … impressive, mindset to adopt. Sheer focus, sheer purpose, sheer becoming. I can barely remember to put underwear on most days.
When I was young I would think of my brother often. I held the key he gave me around my neck for many years until I realised it served no purpose to me, or to my cause.
Hm … where to begin …
[Clasping his paws together, he brought the two index fingers up and pointed them at Swan, eyes curious.]
Black Swan is more a role or a title than a name, if I remember correctly. A group. Did you forsake your original name? Is it lost to the ethereal cosmos?
That is correct, yes. I still have my name, but once someone becomes a Black Swan, it becomes all-consuming. You become it entirely, nothing else matters. That is why I was chosen, because I had lost everything, and had no ties to my former life.

As a matter of fact, I do.
[Sitting himself down and settling in, Hank clapped his paws together, beaming eagerly.]
So, what’s on the agenda today? Am I going to learn a little more about you? Or shall we continue to play our cards close to our chests?
If that is what you prefer.
[ Of all of these men, Swan trusted Henry the most. And even though she had told them her story, if he wanted to know more, then certainly she would oblige ]
What would you like to know?

Where are you going? [ He sat up abruptly, not pleased at all to see her back of all things. ]
Where do you think you’re going bird!? Return to me!! You swore to me! YOU SWORE! You filthy wretch!! Come BACK!
Let this be a lesson to you, Prince of Nothing; never trust a pretty face.
A little like that, yes, though rather more complex. Alice in Wonderland is something of a nonsense tale, written to entertain children and earn a smile.
[Hank held up a rather worn but well-loved copy of The Princess Bride.]
This is something rather more substantial, I feel. I’m hoping you’ll like it.
[ She took the book and turned it over in her hand before smiling up at him ]
Thank you, Henry. I shall give it my full attention. Have you time for your lessons today?
—— Gack!!
[ His back his the floor, body already bruised and aching and in pain and yet for some reason, more pain need be added to this. What had he possibly done this day, to deserve such a thing. Eyes narrowed, glaring up to the ceiling as she spoke. This horrid bird. Not pretty at all. ]
I do do my job. Maximus does his job very well, in fact, better than you. I do my job and I enjoy it and I did my job of releasing you as you seem so keen on forgetting that and your allegiance you swore to me in return for accomplishing such a thing you terrible woman.
I agreed to fight with you, not do whatever silly thing crossed your mind. I am not your slave and I shall not be treated as one.
[ After a moment Swan released him, stepping back and away from him. She'd had enough of his shrill voice tonight ]
I can tell you that I’ve brought you a great many books.
And I’ve brought along some fiction this time! I thought you might like a little change from the influx of Latin, Greek and Sumerian.
Fiction. Like that Alice in Wonderland that Strange brought me?
[ Swan was more interested in things she could learn from, but had enjoyed the silly tale somewhat. Perhaps Henry had brought her something a little more stimulating ]
[ He kept a strong grip on her hair, fist shaking with anger. Breath hissing between gritted teeth and he gave another yank. ]
Listen to Maximus and he will let you live. It is not the other way around. [ He was blind to the obvious danger her mind gave, the large ebbing waves of power. He was too filled with rage of the betrayal of today, only to follow with yet another, by this wretched wench. ]
So be it.
[ Swan reached behind her head; gripping Max's wrist while she took a step forward. Using the momentum of the step, she flipped him over her shoulder; feeling the tear of her hair as it was ripped out by the roots, though she did not flinch. When he was on his back in front of her, she put her boot to his throat ]
I am not your chamber maid, little prince. We are teammates, and whether or not that means something to you is irrelevant. This is bigger than all of us, you stupid man. Stop your pettiness and do your job.

Tell me you've brought me more books, Henry.
Gemma Arterton for Evening Standard, Oct 2014.
[ He stared to her, shocked by such a thing. His jaw hanging open, briefly, attempting to form words. Before he got angry. The insolence. ]
Games? Games?! There is no games! You listen to Maximus! He has freed you as promised, and this means you are to listen to his every word! I will not have a second betrayal in one day! [ He reached up taking a large fist full of her hair and yanking it back. Pouring his mind against hers, he wanted her to beg. ]
[ Swan gave off a small grunt as Maximus pulled at her hair; grey eyes glaring viciously at him. He had no idea of the strength she possessed; no idea how pointless his mental games were. She was trained by the Black Swans -- she was a weapon and he was an insolent child ]
Let go of me now, and I will let you live.
This is not up for discussion, bird, you come here and present yourself and you do so NOW with intents to heal Maximus with your little hands if you wish to keep them in tact.
[ Swan sighed and turned around, moving towards him with purpose before she pushed him violently into the nearest wall ]
I've had enough of your petty games, Maximus. You are no longer in charge, therefore I no longer serve you. Tend to yourself or don't -- I don't particularly care one way or the other.
