Summary
"The last time I saw you was in that bedroom, bleeding out against the wall, and as far as I knew, you hadn’t survived. You were unresponsive when I tried to rouse you, at least. For a long time, I resented you for it. How dare you let this be the solution? Where was the protection I was promised? I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you, and I couldn’t so much as tell you what I thought to your face, because you were dead.
“So imagine by shock, looking through news records all those years later, when I found an article about the trial of my own brother."

"Hey, I like you! Of course I would always do my best to spend time with you."
Fogado finally allowed his shoulders to slump forward, and Alcryst observed the relief wash over him. He had been standing tall moments before, with the poise of a polished and charming, ever diplomatic prince, seeming a heavy burden upon him, even if he never spoke of it.
