“Your cousin, too, isn’t she?”

“Oh, you know how it is, we’re all cousins here,” Eugenides said, still staring at the fire. “The connections are different. Agape is the daughter of the queen’s mother’s sister, and I am related to the queen through my father, who is her father’s brother. Agape’s grandfather was mine’s half brother, I think.” He waved his hand, dismissing genealogies. “We have special priests who keep track of these things and spend months figuring out who can marry whom. Agape’s much more closely related to the queen than to me, and she is very much like her.”

“She is,” the magus agreed.

“Maybe you could get Sounis to marry her?” Eugenides suggested.

“Perhaps.”

“Poor Agape,” Eugenides said wistfully.

“He’s not an entirely irredeemable character,” the magus said, defending his king.

“I’m sure not,” Eugenides said agreeably, “but he’s caused a lot of bloodshed wanting a woman he can’t have.”

“Not a new thing in the history of the world,” the magus said.

“No,” Eugenides responded thoughtfully, “and maybe I should be more sympathetic, but I think I will just go back to bed.”

“Shall I stay?” the magus asked.
