In his defense, it was one time. The unpleasantness between us has been mutual and reciprocal. I'm not proud.
[ stephen is being very extremely diplomatic, i.e. not citing more specific examples of how he may have reciprocated that violence. honestly, he'd be great in front of a jury. ]
well, look, if it makes you feel any better i'm pretty sure vrenille wrote something like 'no funny business with knives.' or maybe he phrased it in more technical language like 'don't shit where you eat.' something like that.
I will. If there was something to actually worry about I'd tell you both straight away. But Vrenille probably got the accurate measure of him before extending the offer. He's dangerous, sure, but self-interested enough to be predictable.
[Good thing this is text or Stephen would be about to hear The Fondness™]
luckily, i'm pretty dangerous too and not nearly so easy to predict. more importantly, vrenille's good with people so he probably knows what he's doing. even with knife-happy, self-involved gods with a penchant to monologue.
