https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas' eyes widened at the thought of learning Silvan in secret for Latham. He was never quite sure where the man stood on his Sil'Elainian heritage. On the one hand, he seemed to take some pride in it with Maladan. On the other, when he'd asked Latham if he preferr...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas poured more tea for Maladan, as the style when no servant was around, and filled the other man's plate with more goodies. Even if this was a hotel, and not one he was paying for, he still wanted to be a good host. Maladan had passable table manners, at least, ...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas was relieved when Maladan accepted his invitation for morning tea. While he'd done his best not to misrepresent himself with his cellmate for the duration of their stay in jail, he had not been entirely honest, either. In Thomas' flexible mind, lies by omissio...

The warrior had Celebrant business to attend to, civil war duties, Argent calls to action, and secret meetings with the rest of his mage group. The more diminutive of the Lords Venger als...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas did try to struggle against the hug, a bit, before giving up. Latham wanted to hug him, and so he was being hugged. He could insist that Latham desist but to do so would be hurtful. He also had no good reason to ask the man to stop; he wanted it to continue. W...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png I'm not like you — I don't have a price It hurt to hear Latham say that to him, more than he'd anticipated. Not because it was wrong, but because he had been honest enough with Latham about his past that the man knew about some of the things he'd done for money, and ...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png It started with a trough of water. Wilhelm pushed his head under with a ferocity that belied his friendly tone. Or, if Maladan were to be believed, this was how Wilhelm related to those he liked. His last coherent thought was that he'd better hold his breath. The sho...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas was disquieted by how familiar he'd gotten with his routine in Lord Weissen's prison. The guards arrived twice daily to feed them a kind of gruel that he wouldn't have fed to a pig. The bowls doubled as a commode once they were emptied, which had a certain loa...

https://i.imgur.com/TZFDaPS.png Thomas nodded as Latham talked about magic. The man hadn't been kidding when he said he was an expert. He was co-authoring papers on Thomas' home nation's ignorance and superstition now. One more impressive thing Latham had accomplished in the last two years, then. U...
