"I...see no reason to keep you here," she replied slowly.

She still wanted to thank him- despite the fact that yes, he had been hired to kill her originally- but she didn't know how.

"If you think of any reward you'd like for your services, is like you to know that you can contact me," she said eventually, unable to come up with anything better.

Black Skull turned and stepped up to the window. She had suggested thay his reward be the ability to contact her, but he could already do that whenever he wanted. He decided not to rain on her parade.

"You should seriously consider Serendipity," he told her.

Then he hopped out the window and was gone.

Lily watched him go, not sure what to say. Then the healer was bustling back into the room, apologizing for taking so long, and she had to act as though she'd simply been waiting for her.

Once her bandages had been changed and she was told to rest, Lily turned her attention once more to the letter. Slowly, shakily, she opened it.




Lily Hartnet had been stricken from the records of the house, disowned and disavowed.

The letter was written in her father's hand, and said that they would work to give her at least a week to leave the country, they would attempt to stall the mordecai until then. After that, they could not risk working to protect a mage.

The letter said that they were sorry for this, and that they loved her, despite her affliction. They believed she hadn't been aware of what she was, and they hoped she would find happiness away from Connlaoth.

And that Jorris was sorry, and he loved her.

She ripped the letter apart.
