"I was the fastest, smartest, quickest one among us. I was the advocate for getting out of the Guild, to make money and get us all out. And I was going to, until one of the bigger kids went to far with Elise one night." [i] Desmond growled. The first sign of true emotion Chloe had seen from him yet.[/i] "We were always his playthings, so much bigger and we couldn't do anything about it. So when he took a knife to her face and carved her up.." [i] His voice was steady with untold rage and anger. [/i] "I sought out the city's best wetboy. Durzo Blint. He told me to fúck off when I asked him to kill the one who'd hurt Elise and get her help. Until I offered to give myself up as a wetboy. I still don't know why he said yes. Maybe he saw something in me. But he did. He killed him, he got Elise a healers help that I never in a million years could've afforded, as long as I vowed to never see her again."
