If the worst the family is done is 'arrange a political marraige' for a child? They are not the sort I assassinate. I have standards for how ought to die, now. That is entirely your fault and I hope you are pleased with yourself.
I said no. And then he asked if he--Gavin--if he could join in his place. Said no to that, too. Have you met this Maxwell? Is he incredibly handsome or something? Maybe a blood mage with Gavin in his thrall?
I have met him. He is handsome, but it is not blood magic that holds Gavin in thrall. It is sentiment. The fool elf has feelings for the noble. As though anything good can come from that.
[ He pauses, because (1) the discussion about what happened last time Zevran had non-brotherly capital-F Feelings for anyone was recent enough that he isn't willing to make too light of things and (2) he doesn't want Zevran to crawl through the sending crystal and bite him or something, which at the moment seems like a reasonable fear. But he's very brave, so: ]
Well, I wouldn't really know. But I imagine something good does, sometimes, or people wouldn't keep doing it. Not elves and human nobles, maybe, but. Otherwise. There's companionship, and people to notice if you disappear, and maybe some little Zevrans.
Were I to ever be overcome with some manner of madness and decide to start a family, I would not be giving my children knives. You are supposed to want them to have a better life than you did, yes?

sometime
Date: 2015-12-06 12:45 am (UTC)Right. Well, if you get the information and he gets the money, I hope you find a third excuse. Or I can make one for you.
[ That's a threat. He's very threatening. Grrrr. ]
Gavin asked me to help Maxwell fake being a Warden, too.

He what?
sometime

Date: 2015-12-06 01:02 am (UTC)And to be fair, nothing good ever seems to come from anything anymore. At all. Ever.
sometime
Date: 2015-12-06 01:05 am (UTC)[ He may or may not be muttering. ]
Nothing good comes from that sort of Sentiment, ever.

In that they don't.
It's a marvelous understanding. ]
I have you for all that save the making of little Zevrans. I do not need to make 'little zevrans'.
sometime
Date: 2015-12-06 01:30 am (UTC)You don't need to. No one needs to. But it'd be really cute. Their little knives.

Date: 2015-12-06 01:38 am (UTC)Toy ones. Wooden. Gifts from me, so you'd be heartless to throw them out.
And the rest of it--even if I'm around for a while, I'm not going to be around forever. And I need time to train my replacement.
sometime
Date: 2015-12-06 02:00 am (UTC)[ Of course, then, he is cut to the quick with that reminder. ]
That is cheating, you bastard.
sometime
Date: 2015-12-06 02:23 am (UTC)It's not cheating if it's true. Come on, Zev. I can't die properly if I'm worrying about you. I'll hang around too long and get all ghouly.
