Ashtet-Sun was a careful man, bordering on paranoid. He performed a second, third, and fourth extensive review of his hexes in Rupert’s cell, none of which revealed any weakness or possible way that the Vizier could have wormed his arithmantic way through them. Perhaps that reassured Ashtet-Sun, or perhaps it further inflamed his paranoia and dread of the Regent’s displeasure. Regardless, it is not recorded that he ever reported his visit with the Vizier to Regent Moss, nor alerted Moss to his suspicions.

There are two things we might conclude from this encounter. First, that skill with arithmancy is in no way connected to good judgment; whatever the Vizier’s errors in overlooking Ashtet-Sun’s clever hex in the turing, Ashtet-Sun committed a much greater error in visiting the Vizier. For although Rupert gained no physical advantage from the visit, nor any new information, he did acquire hope, and that sustained him through the long, lonely days that followed.

The second is that the multiverse does have a sense of humor after all.
