you know... you know... he'd been distracted by thinking of all the things that could go wrong that he hadn't thought through the strategic implications of how this could go right.

It's true. If the "king" did go out of his way to censure Lazarite, it would probably look really suspicious in a way that would be difficult for others to write off. Then, maybe, he could have an easier time exposing the demon... or, if the demon didn't take that risk, he'd get the promotion he wanted.

Either way, it's a win for him, and it does cheer him up a bit.]


Well, do let Sir Lazarite know that I am open to a meeting to discuss the possibility at any time. I do have a new responsibility to take care of, admittedly, but it is not as though other knights do not manage to balance their families with their careers.
