My thanks, Gabriel.

I have need of your assistance, if you should be willing to give it. It concerns the matter of known traitors in our midst, and the unfortunate lack of judgment on them.

Traitors to what cause?

Does the cause matter, Gabriel? Traitors to their oaths, their allegiances. The Emperor-Over-the-Sea has given to me the lives of all traitors, and I have made a pact to collect on some of them.

Causes do have a meaning and value. Again you talk about the Emperor.

This sounds quite familiar.

And what will you do to collect?

Is a man who betrays a worthy cause any more a traitor than a man who betrays an unworthy one? And who is to judge which side is worthy? They are all traitors, and by the laws of Deep Magic they belong to me, unless another sacrifices in their place.

I shall execute them myself.

You misunderstand my questioning. Some trespasses are more grave than others. God is the supreme judge.

Father. Father. Father. Father.

So it is to be.

None are trespasses against myself, therefore I do not know the specific betrayal. It is enough for me that the betrayal exists, but...if it would assuage your conscience, I have my captain investigating those I've chosen to begin with.

Will you give me your assistance?

Yes, please do. You're...considerate to suggest such a thing. Perhaps in light of information gained, it will also save you trouble.

I will not stand in the way of progress. However, I'm unable to commit myself entirely. I will give aid where I am at liberty to.

I would not give away my right to these lives regardless. What I ask is more...subtle assistance. There are those who will point their fingers at me, who will dispute the rightness of my claim. I do not wish at this time to become embroiled in the petty politics of this land.

I'll provide means.

I will be in your debt, Gabriel.

You have your devices, Jadis and I mine.
