"His form, mayhap, but I assumed he was an extension of you," Leonardo answers, not bothering to look at the Fool. "A pity. He was the most likable part about you. What do you want, Name Thief?"

"From me, you've stolen much - my happiness, my found family, my best friend, two years of my life, for a start - but that is, I suppose, 'nothing' to you."
He turns around to face the Fool, then... and begins laughing. He cannot breathe he is laughing so hard, at one point. "Nothing!" He finally chokes out. "You were hollow, after all!" He continues his fit of laughter, doubling over as he does.
Finally, he manages to control his chuckles, and slowly he rises to his feet, dusting away mirthful tears and sand alike. "And so I may take nothing, is that it?" Another small chuckle that he quells quickly, in an attempt to speak seriously with his Patron. "Why bring me here, then? I've just returned from my dungeon, you see - a harrowing experience by any measure - and I'm sure the other Nothings you're playing with are upset I've suddenly disappeared on them."
"I am a beginning," Orlea says, after a long, contemplative silence. "And you - you are a creature of many new beginnings, are you not? Perhaps we can begin to do better."
"Ah, I see - you are wanting to be friends with me now that I am a changed man, is that it?" Leonardo actually seems rather amused at the notion. "I am not so naïve as to believe that. You want something from me; all my patrons have. That is why you brought me back. The question is whether you intend to be an Angoulême or a Borgia."
"I do not know those names. But I wish for us to be on good terms. And yes. I wish your service towards my victory - a new beginning for all who need it."
