“Honor is not just a word,” Julien retorts.
Occtis is too tired not to scoff in his face. “It’s just a word, and it’s a fickle one. Never trust a silent ‘h.’”
Julien’s brow furrows as he processes this, and his look of incredulity only increases. “So your family wants you back, and now—”
“My family wanted an undead thrall,” Occtis snaps. “They got half that. When Bolaire and Dr. Mag’Nesson took the stone out of my chest, the process that had started couldn’t finish. Now I’m stuck with the same problem I had before all this: I have to figure all of this out for myself!” Overtaken by a sudden fit of anger, he jabs his finger into Julien’s chest. “You of all people should relate!”
Rage flares to life in Julien’s expression, and he presses forward, making his superior height and build evident. “You are going to stop right there,” he snarls.
