Yes. Look, do you have any better reasons for me to keep him around?

“Because his life means more than yours ever did,” Rue said, then cursed. Flaming temper…

Malum smiled. It was disturbingly gleeful.

What is he to you, Rue?

Does she have any childhood nicknames or something like that that could be triggering for her?

*realizes Rue was my childhood nickname*

Mm...the name Tilaus would probably make her quite mad.

"Oh, does it matter? I thought you were going to kill him."

Okay. I think I'll keep that in reserve for just a bit...

I'm curious. Anyway, the longer you talk to me, the more time he gets.

The glass dug into TAAron's neck, which began to bleed slightly.

"Okay!" Rue said quickly. Stupid...this isn't going to make any difference...you're all going to die. Who are you to fight a god? "Okay. Just...calm down. Maybe put that away."

He did not do so.

Why do you care? Is he really any more to you than any other man like him? He could still go mad, lose himself. It's happened before.

Rue grimaced and took a long breath. "I'd rather not care. And maybe it's different for you, but we mortals don't get to choose. We care for things that cause us a whole lot of pain."

So that's all he is to you? An unfortunate coincidence? Wouldn't it be better if you were free from that burden?

"Killing him wouldn't free me. Once you start to...care, you're stuck. There's no way to end it without pain. And besides...there's always the possibility that letting it continue wouldn't be so bad."

Is that so? What would you hope for?

"For you to roll over and die, ideally."

He didn't seem at all bothered by the comment. He might even have been amused.

What would you hope for out of your relationship with him? You said that letting it continue might not be so bad.

Rue shrugged. "We'll never know if he dies."

You didn't really answer my question. What, in an ideal world, would the relationship become?

Rue frowned, glancing at TAAron. "He wouldn't go mad. I suppose...I would trust him, and he would deserve it."

Well, I'm sure you'll consider it plenty, Tilaus.
