Sam's guess was on the nose, and Jigano nodded grimly. "Maybe not at first. But... given her history here, and what Edrei and Loren have said about the Launceleyns as a whole on their world... yes, it's something I'm worried about her building towards." He exhaled a tense breath, turning his eyes up to look at Sam searchingly. "You were here. You know how she tried to hunt me, threatening the Guild and then Amalia when I wouldn't turn myself in, yes?" Was he just being irrationally paranoid? Sunjata and Loren had certainly seemed to think so, but they hadn't been there, and they hadn't been personally affected by the Tyrant queen's decrees like he and Sam and Amalia had.
His other favorite ex-Queen was, of course, Wessex, and he nodded again at Sam's surprise. "Bold as brass, and as drawn by the fire as the rest of us to the Mathair, I'm guessing. We didn't exactly stop to chat." He gave his friend a wry smile. "But she was there... right where she'd been when the Fae were killed last time. I don't know if Rexanna knows or not though," he admitted with a slight frown. "Actually... I haven't seen her since the council was formed. Have you?"
