## Story description

*The Amenable Host closes his hands around his returned locket. "Now it comes to it, I'm not sure I want to know. But I've sent you out." He drums his fingers against his cup. "We don't spare our guests the truth, so why should I be any different?" He fills goblets for you both. "Well, out with it."*

"Apparently not entirely dead. I suppose, rogue that I was, I made contingencies." He looks around at his sumptuous atrium. "I appear to have better choice in friends now. Should I go back?

He raises an eyebrow. "I had hoped that was one of the false ones." He looks about the gleaming stained glass of Magdalene's. "Though I suppose something had to pay for all this. I'm glad I've learnt charity in my dotage."
He sighs languidly. "Well, I shan't be going back,. But I suppose I might look more kindly on the working poor of New Winchester when they visit. We don't all get a chance to be someone else."

He hesitates, his fingers drumming against his goblet, before speaking. He refreshes his goblet. "I could have been any or none. I have no past anymore. You'd think I remembered something, but I don't. I could write origins for myself, but what would be the point?"
The lustre is vanished from his eyes. "Is this the lesson of Magdalene's? You can be anyone you choose, and in choosing, you eclipse all that you were?"

He fills his own glass, and finishes it in one swift swig. "My own self, cindered ash in the kiln of my ambition." He gives you a crooked smile. "So goes the teaching of Magdalene's." He goes to a drawer and takes out a sealed envelope. "For all your trouble. I am who I have chosen to be.
