This time is for me to decide, too. I have to be certain this is the right course to take. But, if this is what we do ...

[ A slow, solemn nod. ]

Yes. We have a deal.

[divus]

I'll be waiting to see what you decide.

[She crosses her arms.]

Anything else?

[covenantal]

Actually, yeah. This one should be quicker, though.

[ A piece of tired humor. ]

I'm going to talk to Cunning, too. The way I asked you for power, I'm going to ask him for information. Just wanted you to be aware.

[divus]

[She shrugs.]

Okay. Just don't blame me if the price for us both is too high for you to pay.

[covenantal]

[ His smile is wan. ]

I won't get in over my head.

[ And with quiet steel: ]

I have people that need me, after all.

[ A nod, then. ]

See you soon, Ambition.

[divus]

We both do.

[but that's it! yu is dismissed.]
