Alsace: (interrupting) Then you will understand why it is nigh-on impossible that you are sitting here now.
Alsace: Somehow… without tasting a drop of my blood, you have begun the changing.
Rowan: (staggered) So, you’re saying…
Alsace: (grunt) That you are an exception, though not one that should exist in any sense of the word.
