[ a life with no weight. with no being an inquisitor.

... it's that that finally awakens something.

because - isn't that the kind of trap that his idiot, beloved, dearest friend, his big brother would fall into?

roi was a good inquisitor, that's for sure. they both were. but their methodology was much different, and the places where roi lacked, temenos was able to fill in with aplomb. and one of those places was always, always that - it was doubt. roi barely knew what the word meant, and that was why temenos learned it. it was why he learned to be alert. careful. cautious.

his eyes open as he's being drawn in, over roi's shoulder.

he learned to doubt because roi mistral needed protecting. ]


... Roi.

[ temenos starts, slowly. a hand comes up, curls in the back of his cloak, tight, familiar. ] Roi, where are we?

[ 14. ]
