Jax and I wander into the Revue after a number of days back in Nirrion. I show my token to the barkeep, head downstairs and ask the first attendant I see "Is Caoimhghin Enkeli available?"

When I learn that Kestal awaits, I go see him. "I should just open a spare room for you, Shepherd!" I laugh and take his hands.

"I am here often enough. Although I confess that I don't know if I could live here. The idea of being fed off of is . . . disturbing. However I have to tell you that I've thought a lot about the feeding the other night at he villa. A lot." I fall silent and purse my lips.

"Which feeding was that? Refresh my memory. And at whose villa?"

"When I was fed upon at my own villa in order to establish . . . the truth. It was truly . . . intoxicating."

"Ah yes. You've had a taste, eh? The Kiss is better than coupling. I don't blame you for not being able to get the experience out of your mind."

"I have not, I have not" I murmur quietly. Then I come back to myself "However, that's not why I came. I was hoping that you, Anak Sa'ir and I might be able to talk. About the Magister."

"I'm free to talk, of course, but The Prince is not here. We would have to go to Paradise, and then, I'm not sure if you're allowed in yet or if you ever will be."

"I was allowed before but don't know if that was an exceptional circumstance. Could we ask him to come here? Or perhaps you and I could speak and you could talk with him at another time?"

"I would send a runner to fetch him, but Anak-Sa'ir is Prince of Nirrion. One does not simply summon His Grace. No, we must go to him."

"Perhaps we don't even need to include him quite yet. I'll leave that up to you. There have been threats against the Magister's life based on the public's desire to crown him. I think I know who is behind the threats as well."

"Then those threats need to be eliminated. Anyone who raises his hand against Judal doesn't deserve to live."

"Well, we need to be cautious if we are to tread that path. Many senators have fallen already. And I don't know that the Magister would approve. It might look bad for the key opponent of the Magister to be killed. Some might whisper that he did it."

"Look how many have already died. Death is all around us, and more must die to bring about this new order. We can make sure the deaths are not connected to Judal."

"If it were made to look like an accident, that would be best. What do you suggest?"
