Good for you Severin. Truly. You always insinuated as to your ambitions, and you have achieved them.
How bitterly different we are in the here and now. The scholar ascendant, the performer puttering after revenge wearing the wrong skin.
"He was a friend." His voice was soft, and as much as his new face allowed, Astredax looked pensive. The energy that had suffused him as he told his story was gone entirely. Now he just sat on the ground, holding the coin.
Is this what I am now? Offering Severin's scraps to his enemies? And for what?
Revenge. And if I survive, an appointment with the Headsman. Or if I really please my new owners, maybe a long life back in my hole.
Maybe Severin can pull off whatever his endgame is. Do what I couldn't.
"And not in the way you were with the late Favric," Astredax added.
I should follow my own advice before I end up like him.
Hah. I already did.
