Tal regarded Sah a little suspiciously, but he joined the advisor on the bench and Bell laid down again on his feet, watching the people passing by with calm attention. The courier's attention was all on his fellow, though his habitual frown deepened further with almost every line. Still, he listened without interrupting, and when Sah looked at him he met his gaze without flinching.
"Well that sounds really dumb," he declared when he was sure Sah had finished. "What'll the gods do if no one agrees to fight in their little war?" Not that anyone could get everyone on the world to agree on it. He wasn't that naive. But he still scowled as he looked down at Bell for a moment.
His expression was far more serious when he looked up again. "An' what side would you have chosen if Morgan was still around and in charge?" he asked bluntly.
He might have felt more relieved about Sah's lack of personal attention from the gods if he hadn't been so focused on the more immediate question.
