.. I really get to have you?”“No tricks,” he replied. “You get a chance to settle whatever weird amputee human thing you have going on, and I ...et a chance to pay you back for all the bullshit you’ve put me through. But when we’re done, I’m going to talk, and you’re going to bloody well listen.

I did have some questions about Ashryn, but they were mostly a case of, if she was conning us, she’d just continue to lie, but if she was telling the truth she might end up calling me Lord Esche again.

The words of my vocabulary have appeared in single syllables more frequently than they did yesterday or the day before. My life centers on playtime, sl**ping, eating, and of course what goes in one end of me must come out the other, so there are frequent diaper changes by my auntie and mommy.
