Poor Scar. He’s absolutely paying the price for the horrible things he did.
I wonder why he doesn’t just tell Todd about the Sarnothi “sins of the father” burden that acknowledging Selkie as his daughter would bring on her. She would stop being the daughter of a hero to these people and that’s profoundly unfair to her.
I think he’s trying to, or at least trying to heavily imply that. With the way Gien was threatening him earlier, he may feel that he can’t be forthright about the subject.
This is one of the things we see with former felons. You never get rid of the stigma of what happened, even after you pay your societal debt. Without a path to redemption, how can someone truly start over? Scar needs a path. I think he wants more than anything to acknowledge his daughter, and also wants more than anything to protect her from the backlash that will come if his name is involved. It’s an awful reality that mirrors our own. It’s why children of horrible criminals often change their name or go into hiding.
He is on the path, I think, very much. However, there are wrongs so severe not one life of a human nor a sarnothi is long enough to fully pay for. Not at least in the minds of some of the people involved, I suppose. And “the people”, in some cases like this one, also includes the culprit themself.
He may be on a path to redemption but it may well be longer than the rest of his life.

How long do Sarnothi live?
“Brown-nosing.” It loses something in the translation.
Cloaca really been a word coming up recently in random funny ways :3
I was, I think, nine or ten when I first saw it—took me another couple of years to figure out what it meant.
We HAVE turned some extremely scatalogical imagery into an indirect, softened common expression, haven’t we? 😅
… That’s a way to comedy it.
What’s the difference between a brown noser and an a$$ kisser?
