I have some questions about betrayal,โ I said. โThink about this: A person who calls you his best friend, and says he has dinner plans with you, goes off with a beautiful woman, saying heโll be back directly, then makes you wait half an hour because heโs kissing the woman in the alley. Is that betrayal?โ โOh, Lord.โ Eldric tossed back his wine.
Franny BillingsleyHeโs harmless, poor thing. Thatโs what everyone said. It was true, but who cares? Lots of people are harmless, but that doesnโt mean I have to like them.
Franny BillingsleyIt wasn't quite a question. It was more of an invitation to tell him whatever I chose. Eldric game me a choice, and it was this that made me want to tell him everything.
Franny BillingsleyBut witchy magic doesnโt listen to please and pretty please, and anyway, I didnโt really care. I only pretended to care because not caring makes me a monster.
