Kankri- The Signless was older than he, it was true. Time was not in line here. And realising that, there may never be another moment where The Initiate will seem more of a child, than quite right then. His jaw hangs and his eyes are wide with a thousand things; Shock, awe, disbelief, confusion, excitement. A long bout of silence breaks, with increasingly loud laughter of his own, before, carried off by his excitement, he throws his arms high and screams, "MOTHERFUCK YES!!!"

His laughter continues, echoing through the center, and he shoots up, pacing from the energy. "The Messiahs looked kindly upon him, he knew. COULD ALWAYS HEAR THEIR MOTHERFUCKING CALL. He knew, he knew at the priests to judge him false. LET THEM MOTHERFUCKING ROT WITH THEIR FALLACY! Let their flesh decay from their living bones as they kneel before me! I AM THE GRAND MOTHERFUCKING HIGHBLOOD!"

He pauses, and remembers that the Helmsman is there, turning back to him sharply. He snaps, "You are not lying to me?"
