( he doesn't like other people finding out about his situation, but he'll keep that attention focused on him if it's kept away from the others at least. besides, it's not a secret in his world, at least not any more than the fact that he's still alive at all; everyone within pandora is aware that the vessalius heir, the mouthpiece of the hero's will, has a contract with the bloodstained black rabbit. that it's an illegal one goes dutifully ignored, by and large; never mind pandora's duty of stopping illegal contractors before they become a danger to the populace.
