Basil sat on a bench in a gloomy cell, staring at the stone walls. A torch in a corridor sconce cast deep, dancing shadows on the stones’ pocked surfaces. “I am an utter failure,” he announced to them suddenly. “A remarkable, spineless failure.”

There was a stir in the cell opposite him. “You’re overly harsh on yourself, Counselor,” Olynn’s voice said. “I never saw such a bold liar as Troyce. When the soldiers won’t even listen to me, you know we’re up against something too clever for us simple men.”

“They took Sevter from his cell when he asked to talk to Troyce,” Basil mused. “I wonder what Sevter wanted to tell him.”

“They’re from the same country. Perhaps Sevter goes to reason with him.”

“Or join him,” Basil said flatly. “I trusted those around me much too freely, and now I will receive my just recompense.”

“Troyce cannot succeed in this,” insisted Olynn. “What do you think the Surchatain will do with him when he returns?”

“Reward him,” Basil answered bleakly. Olynn shut his mouth, finding that an unnerving possibility.
