[ '...that spurs this insanity.' That's proof that Corvo knows, isn't it? Of course he'd call it insanity. Of course he'd frame it as something impossible and irresponsible, something only to be dreamt of. But it's possible. Daud's put his time his effort his life into searching, and he's finally found the way.
Which Corvo knows. Which Corvo is making light of or trying to dismiss, maybe trying to dissuade him. But Daud won't be persuaded. Daud won't be induced, at all. ]
Funny.
[ It's true he's had his share of regret. True that he's consumed by it still, that even his mission can't overwhelm that guilt completely. He knows too clearly what he was. (Though it never shouldn't have happened. Never would have happened if it weren't for. If it weren't for.) He remembers so much of what he'd done. Well. Never mind about that.
He doesn't like to think about his age - and he could point out the fact that Corvo's not so young, himself - but that's far from his primary concern right now.
His concern is keeping wary. His concern is defending himself. And his growing concern is the way his body's tremors are becoming more intense, more difficult to ignore. He should sit, but he doesn't want to make himself so vulnerable. He'll be fine. He can withstand this. Just a little more. ]

That's a convenient way of putting it.
He sent you, didn't he?
