    Summary

    Gideon switched gears from confused to annoyed. “Excuse you, but I didn’t get my ass kicked up and down the steps of Drearburh for eighteen years just to have the world’s tiniest asshat give me lip about it.”

    The girl stood now, drawing herself up to her full height, and the exhausted circles around her eyes made her face gaunt and skull-like. Gideon’s palms prickled when she spoke, intoning in a way that reminded her, terrifyingly, of Crux.

    “I am the Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus, and I know the face of each one of my supplicants. If someone as feckless as you, Gideon Nav, were among my congregation, then I would have tossed you out the airlock when I first laid eyes on you.”

    Summary

    “Not to sound ungrateful, but being here makes me wish that you had left me for dead,” said Harrow.

    Gideon had been staring hard at the face of the fountain’s statue. She was pretty sure that it was carved in the likeness of Naberius himself, but she didn’t want to say it out loud and make it true. She shook her head and turned to Harrow. “Leaving me to live out eternity in your bony sock puppet of a body? Hard pass.”

    Palamedes and Camilla shared a look. It was the mutual understanding of two people who had been trapped in close quarters with the bickering of Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonagesimus for far too long.
