Sphinx Basement: Thierry and Paxton
Words. With demons, that's what it came down to often. Not a word to another soul? In this school, that really didn't mean much. Not that he didn't trust Thierry - he did, almost somewhat implicitly - but it was a trick that was hard to a shake. "Not a word to anyone," Paxton specified, "whether they have a soul or not."
Paxton was perhaps better off not telling Thierry. Plausible deniability. So, instead he said: "I can't tell you because we're a really bad fit. He's vampire. He's in Pegasus. And really, his famous family knows nothing of his proclivities. So again, I can't tell you because of any of those reasons, now can I? So, I am unsure, and we best not mention his name ever again."
