Summary
“Would you have?” Olruggio says quietly.
Qifrey frowns. “Would I have what?”
“Told me. If you had—you know, injured yourself. I’m not sure you would unless you had to,” Olruggio explains. His voice is gentle, his demeanor remains tired, and it’s clear to Qifrey he does not mean it as an accusation. He’s pointing out the obvious.
Even so, it sinks into Qifrey like stones dropped in stillwater. His mouth wobbles and he ducks his head lower to hide the redness rising to his cheeks and ears. “I would,” Qifrey says. The lie is too easy.
