Remi hadn't expected the job of Arbiter to be an easy one, and didn't quite know what to make of the fact that none of this information had filtered its way back up to him yet.

'Even with my bribe? I'm shocked." He wasn't though, and the steadiness of his stare (and his thoughts) suggested as much.

'No, no. That was Ludo. Safrin's never given me anything but a headache." So saying, he looked up towards the black skies, wondering if she could hear him. "She fucked my husband in a dream, and then showed up with a child about a month later. And if that isn't enough, it's because of her that he's not here now." Well, truthfully it was because of Ronin's persistent do-the-right-thing streak, but surely what Safrin asked of him didn't need to be quite so dangerous.
