Oh, it sure does! That's why I'm not turning anyone away.

I can't see Piety being too harsh for. It's Ambition's rule you've really got to look out for - not that I think you're likely to kill someone in revenge right now.

[Hell hath no fury like Ambition scorned. He shakes his head.]

Why would I? It's a pity to kill. And vengeance doesn't solve anything, so I can promise you that I'll never seek it.

[Because he's a coward who wants the easiest way out.]

[divus]

Man, if more people thought like you we probably wouldn't have had that whole mess last week.

[If more people thought like him, there'd be more backstabbing with less actual stabbing.]

With any luck, this week will be different. After what happened, a repeat is unlikely . . .

[divus]

I'd hope so, anyway.

[and luckily those hopes will not be dashed]

[nosediving]

[They can hope, but it makes him wonder.]

If no one is announced dead by some miracle, what will happen in place of trial? Do you know?

[divus]

In theory, nothing. In practice... well, it hasn't happened yet, so I'm not really sure.
