"No one. I am not human, and I am not tame, and death is not permanent. If that means nothing and my very being is inexcusable, then I have no desire to see friends or allies punished with me."
It's very simple to him in the end. Siffleur has come to accept that humans are hypocritical and that they will always be unfair in their favour. Their desires and impulses are good and justified no matter how much territory they steal or how many animals they eat, but should an animal commit the crime of inconvenience towards a human, their life was always forfeit.
"I am what I am. I have tried now and then to live otherwise, but it chafes and aches. I would rather be seen for what I am, no matter how difficult it makes my life. And I would rather be alone and depend only on myself than see others punished alongside me." He swishes his tail a few times. "But I am not human - not fully. You are. There lies our difference."
