[It sounds a lot like telling him that all his loved ones are dead is like him saying "happy now?" that he's somewhat answered his question. Scaramouche has lived a long life, he's well aware of that. So has the Doctor, with the strange experimentation he's done on himself to create clones of himself from different points in his life. He knows little of the Second Harbinger, but his intuition tells him that it wouldn't be all that surprising if the Doctor has been around as long as Wanderer has.
Because as far as he knew, while the puppet has been in the Fatui, he's had no one else but himself.]
I figure it's been quite some time since they were alive. But if you're not willing to share, then I won't press the matter. Perhaps we can talk on this again another day, when you're feeling a little better.
[His tone is still neutral, careful not to let any kind of pity or softness reveal itself. No doubt that Wanderer probably wouldn't want it, so he won't show it to him- even if he better understands that bitter outer shell that encases the immortal puppet.]
Anyway, never mind that. I did say you could punch me in the face after we left, so go ahead. I always keep my word.
