[The turmoil on Qubit's face is obvious; Carlisle gives him an apologetic look, sorry that his first and only impression of Tony was unflattering, to put it lightly. He lets Qubit gather his thoughts and continue without comment, his eyes on the path before them as he listens. It sounds as though the children were his fault, perhaps one of the earlier signs of what was to come. Thankfully, Carlisle is aware that most monstrous men don't start out as such. He himself is a testament to that.
But once one is a monster, it's hard to go back. Perhaps impossible. He pushes a sigh through him as he curbs that notion, knowing what Qubit would say to that line of thinking.
However, that means something must have changed around this Tony fellow, or changed him. Was it a twist of fate, a tragedy the likes of which no one could have foreseen? Or was it purposeful cruelty that drove him to his end? Carlisle waits for a second pause before chiming in, but keeps those questions to himself for the moment. He instead tries to ease Qubit into the topic while also getting a more complete picture of the friend Qubit knew.]
Tell me of him.
[It's a simple, vague request, and one he'd often give to someone in confessional; mostly, he hopes to allow Qubit to choose what he wishes to divulge.]
