Ben nods slowly then replies, "Alright then. I want to continue being your friend, but you must know something. If you hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it, you'll have to answer to me." He yawns, then says, "I'm going to go to bed. Good night."

Anthony lights two lanterns and sets them at the edge of the clearing to provide a little more light without detracting from the beauty of the stars. He pours Sue a glass of the wine before answering, "I've never been overly proficient in just telling about myself. I'll tell you a little about my life before the Academy, but if you'd like to know anything else, you'll have to ask." Anthony makes Sue a plate of food as he continues, "My mother died shortly after I was born, so my father handled most of the decisions concerning my upbringing. He ensured that I received top of the line education with an emphasis of the major empires and societies of history. Along with learning a great deal of world history, I was taught to the benefit of being multilingual, so I taught myself the Romance languages. I graduated from Yale at the age of eighteen with a Doctor of Psychology degree. After that, I spent a year in various South American countries, especially Argentina, simply enjoying the vastly different cultures. For the next two years I built a real estate business, along with various other business ventures." He begins to eat some of the appetizers that he had made for Sue earlier while waiting for the questions to begin.
