ABASI
"There is nothing else to speak." Abasi said surely. He had never danced around his thoughts, never tried to save people's feelings. There was no point. The truth was the truth and reality was best dealt with when it was clearly seen.
Loren cut in before he could say what was on the tip of his tongue and Abasi laughed a huff from his nose, surprised he was already so well known. Still, he thought it rather obvious Loren was both handsome and a wealthy man of a successful family. Had he been in Egypt, there would have been girls lining up down the street to have a chance to marry him.
What he was not laughing about though was this news of Longnight trysts. In some ways, it was probably better that he did not know either of the people mentioned. "Well..." He said, collecting his wits and taking in a breath. "I will not lie. I am hurt. But I should not be - we had not made any agreement then. So I will get over it."

Do not raise up intimate companions
For nothing is to be gained from them
Let your own heart be watchful over you
