There's a creature here who killed my friend, and injured my brother. I don't know what it calls itself, but my friend describes a woman with eyes as black as pitch.

[ His eyes are far too bright to be human, a feral fire lit behind them ]

Have a care for yourselves, for it has, apparently, killed at least once and tried to do so more than that.

[ And then almost absently ]

Findekano, my king, I ask your blessing on my hunt.

[ And you know, permission to torture and play with his prey but he won't say that aloud ]

Failed rather miserably, at that! Ah well. Perhaps time will teach them differently.

People have been here, what, two years? If they were gonna learn how to play nicely, they would have by now.

Immortals don't see time the way others do, sometimes, so I will remain hopeful. But I think you have the right of it, sadly.

Yeah. We're kind of fun little playthings. Take us out of the box once a month and eat our emotions, then put us back in the box.

Essentially.

[ He sighs softly ]

Tolerated because that's what they need. I wonder what they were like with the original inhabitants.

No idea. No one's told me much about 'em.

Nor I. I do wish we could lay hands on records - but there seem to be none, and our hosts have proven that their word is... less than reliable.

You mean, they're a pack of liars? Don't worry about keeping your language nice around me.

Well, I hesitate to say that they don't know any other road... [ Mendaciously fair ]

But they probably don't.

Probably not, no.

[ he agrees wryly ]
