So I finally went through with unleashing Etheris upon the Undercity.  It didn't seem right to put him in someone else's corpse, so in the end I decided to feed Shadow into him until he had enough power to do the rest of the work himself.  It's better this way, really, and he doesn't seem to mind so long as it won't make anyone suspicious.  I shouldn't be surprised that that's his biggest worry, being found out.  There's so much he has to take in now, maybe he's just focusing on surviving first.  He does seem to have taken pretty well to the Forsaken, at least, well enough that I felt safe leaving him in the Magic Quarter pouring over some books that he said had been forbidden in Dalaran.

He's been awfully quiet, and...sad.  I don't know what I expected, whether I thought he'd be angry or...I don't know. It makes me kind of sad to see him cowed like this.  I've kept my guard up around him, but I haven't noticed him trying to get into my head.  I think he's just thankful that I brought him back.  That and he knows I could kill him again, properly, and the point of his whole undeath thing is immortality so pissing me off would be counterproductive.  It's still awkward, though, but...like an awkwardness that sometimes slips into being comfortable when I'm not looking, and then as soon as I realize it it's awkward again because I don't want to be comfortable around him.  I'm glad Ten found me the other night, because I needed something to purge him from my system.  (Ha ha.)

I haven't told him about Ten, and I haven't told Ten about him, either, beyond saying that I had a "friend" from before who I wanted to bring into the Forsaken.  I can trust Etheris not to say too much, but if somehow Ten found out...well, he can't.  Or everything would fall apart.
