'Can't sleep, Belazs?'

Belazs started, and turned to see Kracauer step out of the shadows. His voice was warm and honeyed. 'Bad dreams again? Or good dreams?'

Belazs didn't reply, but continued to wander amongst the tubes. Then she turned back to Kracauer. 'How old do you think I am, Kracauer?'

Kracauer shrugged. 'Thirty-three... thirty-four...'

'And how old do you think I was when I first agreed to join Kane?'

Kracauer just shrugged.

Belazs's voice was hard and bitter. 'Sixteen... That was a long time ago.'

She held the palm of her hand up to Kracauer. He saw the scar branded deep in her flesh. 'Look at it, Kracauer.'

'The mark of Kane's sovereign.' His voice had turned cold.

'How many years do you think the scar will stay, Kracauer? You'd have thought that after nearly twenty years it would begin to disappear. But no.' She grabbed Kracauer's own arm, and twisted it round, so that he was forced to gaze at his own mark. Her voice was an intense whisper.

'How many years, Kracauer? A whole lifetime?' She let go of his arm and turned away. 'How many years before the mark goes away? Does it ever go away?'

Kracauer slowly lowered his arm. 'We sold ourselves. We knew what we were doing. We had a choice.'

'I was sixteen!'

'Even at sixteen, we had a choice.'
