"Rider, your duty is to the organization. To the people of the Free Cities. Are you trying to tell me that you're ignoring our by-laws, and rules in order to keep your wife and Mistress from meeting? Is that really what you want to tell me?" Please do! Eithne was almost delighted. It wasn't written on her face, because really, even if it was true she wsn't going to let him go. She needed him. a Rider as a key witness was way better than a barman (who would always lie when the money was right), or a man she'd blinded and.. oh he wasn't making so much noise now, was he? Agrippa would prefer a Rider. Eragos could not have done this..
She needed this Den to go along with her. And if reminding him of their pointless rules and laws and hoping the man didn't know her by name alone.. or by reputation. Oh if Eragos were here he'd probably already be scoffing at her repeating such things. Or laughing. Vera would be scowling, Agrippa would be barking in her ear...
No she needed this Den.
Damnit.
"You have a Duty, Den, or shall I report to Agrippa that you're no longer willing to wear the White? You'll still be called to testify anyway.."
