Theo is giving 0 f*cks about it, and it shows. I dare say he is even smiling? :)

The warden *is* a prison crime boss. He's just angry because his crimes have failed and he's been outdone by a rival. The word 'hypocrite' springs to mind, can't imagine why.

Clockmaker? More like "Rizzmaker".

@WoS - Nailed it.

There are plenty of people at the bottom-most rung in society who are ultimately decent people, or have noble qualities, or can be trusted... And there are those considerably further up in the hierarchy, those in positions of authority and power, who are just plain the dregs of the Earth... When an authority in a position of power offers you safety -- something that they really should be providing for free, and goes to the extra length and effort to undermine your safety if you decline their offer, it carries a VERY different tone than when someone in a much more vulnerable or exposed position offers you the safety that the authorities deny you... And our dear prison warden here seems really intent on showing us how he is a full-on subscriber to the ideals of ACAB.

He's awfully confident that Theo can't and won't choose to pop his head like a watermelon without needing magic.

Lick the finger, Theo. Let the intrusive thoughts win. I see you thinking about it.

@Silver Theo could, but he'll dead the next instant by the guards

I agree with Silver. That is awfully confident.

The whole prison was build upon a anti magic rift of some sort. Meaning NO magic of any kind.

And Theo's freaking arms are about as thick as the Wardens waist. The man is a gorilla.

@oskarloko
1) That won't help the Warden any
2) I doubt that
