SENDER: idk your bff Kostos
RECIPIENT: Everyone, unfortunately
NOTES: :)

[ It would be wiser to limit this complaint to those it's relevant to—the handful of mages who might have been informed of this bargaining after the fact, specifically.

Not Riftwatch's.

I trust we're both aware that John preferred to separate his affairs.

[ of course she'd know, they were chummy as two chickadees, he's just never been given cause to stop and consider it — and wasn't that always another of the man's little gifts? to let you think yourself at advantage?

(always a fuck of a thing to realize you've been outmaneuvered) ]

He did that.
