Maybe…maybe that's not a bad thing, Alexis. Maybe there should be some checks and balances.

I closed my eyes. Did you choose the devil you knew or the devil you didn't? I couldn't wait to corner Paul about this information. My eyes narrowed. I knew Paul hated the Neratomay, but this?
Alexis, I have to go. I need to talk to Paul.
I forbid it, he replied. I forbid you to mention anything we have discussed. You are not to discuss it with anyone but me.
My mouth opened and closed in surprise. But—
No arguments! It is for the safety of the Neratomay that I demand this. I am your Elder, and you cannot defy me.
