   Summary

   "Alas, I’m not here to watch over you, Aerion. Why would I torture myself so? I’ve better things to do. Cleaning the dirt from under my nails, for instance."

   "Well, look at you, perfect little Valarr. You have teeth after all."

   Disappointingly, his cousin ignored the jeer. "I would ask you a question."

   Aerion is confined to his sickbed following the trial of seven. He is not one for self-reflection.

   Sequel to Giveth, Taketh Away.
