"It wasn't one bad action that caused it, sir!" Gareth was fuming at the ears. "His soul is rife with self-righteousness!" He stuck by his psychoanalysis—Thomas gave him that impression at the trial, and there was no other conclusion. Thomas made a snide remark at Jezin as though Jezin's testimony were a stain on his perfect honor, and Gareth, by now, was greatly disconcerted by the Order's blindness to such a character defect as that. Sir Morgan had no humility, and it didn't matter what reputation he had with the Order; leadership was not meant for someone with traits like Thomas's. More and more Thomas seemed like a sycophant who only performed tasks for the Order to redeem himself, not to help the Order. "Bloody brown-nosing..." Harker grumbled. "Posing socialite fake..." He sighed, clearly exasperated.
