[Newt just....watches with something like dawning horror as the Knight explains. His eyes are wide behind his glasses, and by the end of that, his face is twisted into something like shock, horror, and just general upset sadness.] ....holy shit.

[he jerks his gaze back to the Knight] I mean, I was right but I didn't want to be right? Because that really is, like...super fucked up? Who does that?!

[his voice jumps at the end, cracking, as his expression starts to twist into something like outrage] What kind of ginormous supervillian-esque asshole raises a kid like that?! [his arms spread wide, anger starting to etch its way onto his face] You have to legit be the worst person in the universe to do that to someone! Especially a kid! Or anyone! And raising someone that way? That's, like...straight up psychopathy! You can't do that to someone--that shit is so fucked! It's wrong!

[he's probably preaching to the choir, but he's so outraged and ranting at this point, hands almost flailing as he gestures, voice cracking in his anger, that it doesn't occur to him to check himself.]

What kind of psychotic, disgusting, morally-bankrupt, Donald Trump motherfucker looks at a kid and goes "yes, I'm going to treat this child like a possession and rob them of anything good in their life before they can even comprehend what's happening to them!?"

[ That's a lot of new and very angry words, which they're both pleased and slightly concerned by.

But they like his reaction, because in some ways it matches their own. That deep down seething indignation, that anger for their sibling's unfair treatment. ]

father
did not see a child
only means to an end
a way to save his kingdom

[ That hidden memory aside. But that's something they don't want to elaborate on. Not yet. It's still too painful to dwell on, in its own way. ]

he was very bad.

[Once again, Newt watches as the Knight writes out their reply. There's a low feeling of rage bubbling in his stomach]

Yeah, dude, understatement! [he throws his hands up, all shaking energy now as he pushes to his feet and starts pacing] There are always other ways to do things! You don't sacrifice a child, no matter how justified you try to make yourself sound! It's just--[his fingers find his way into his hair, tugging in frustration] --it's just evil!

[he pulls his fingers out of his hair, turning to look at the Knight briefly] Is that guy still alive? He can't hurt them any more, right?
