I'd believe it.

[--The smokescreen, that is, and the tormenting. He says it in an undertone. It's not very under, this tone. Still pretty clear.

There are other things that he could say, in any tone at all. Perhaps something about how better places do not include overlords inheriting titles and wealth and power beyond the imagining of the common man--how the subjection of one purportedly lesser class of person is never fair or right--the divisions of classism which transmute through each age but remain firmly in place, a structure built upon the foundation of tradition, which is but a thin veil for prejudice--

But there is time for that later. And it is always better when it is written down or spoken in person. (And not by Nikos, who lacks patience, personality, affability, and has no spark with which to strike inspiration in anyone, unless it's inspiration to walk away from him.)

Wine, now.]


Well done. You have hit upon our common cause. I believe today is one of those days.
