yet my blood renders me a King
Sah noticed Tal's quick grin and smirked, "Aww.. am I growing on you Errand Boy?" He had to, ok? The other man was just too much fun to tease. And the Abandoned had to let his sadistic tendencies out somehow. What better way than some good old fashioned harmless mockery?
The smirk vanished at Tal's next question. As someone who had seen multiple wars, he'd seen firsthand how morals fell apart as a war heated up. "No. I don't suspect either side will play fair. Maybe at first. But as things get worse and more desperate? I expect every trick in the book will come out." Sah hated the fact, but there was no denying it.
The last question gave him pause and Sah sighed. "That's also a possibility. But the ones that I want to protect most are safe. Safrin made it so that any minors who get caught in the crossfires are instantly teleported away. And the rest of my loved ones are either part of the fight or more powerful than me." Soleil and Luke were children and Accepted. They were safer than any other beings in Caido. Lilly wasn't but if things got bad enough, he'd send her away with the twins.
Aino and Ilma were outliers in that regard, but they were relatively neutral. And his adoption into their family wasn't well know. They should be safe too.
