In this chapter, the sorcerer returns to his usual self. He's got a bunch of blood on his hands, so he's worried about what he'll do with it. He wants to be with his buddy, but he can't seem to find a way to put him on with a girl he doesn't like. He tells the girl to be a sweetheart, and then he goes off on a rant about how he didn't want to use the kid for his own good, and how the kid's a lifelong enemy to him. He says that if you want to get the pride of the trident for yourself, then you've got to come out and get it for yourself. He also says that the kid did exactly as it was supposed to be done, and that's why he was so insulted by the whole thing.
