She certainly takes her own sweet time, and perhaps I am a bit amused by her hesitation. I am sure it is on purpose, just to make me squirm.
There are times I actually do like this woman.
"Marbas, I Wanda von SacherMosch, bid you speak truthfully to me until the sun rises." She bids me in a weary voice, and I breathe out. She could have held me to it for the rest of her life, but she was considerate enough to give my bond a release time.
"I am leaving Excolo, as soon as this conversation is over. I cannot say I will never cross your path again, for I cannot see the future. But I have no intentions of ever bothering you again... I promised Lucien I would leave you be."
There is a freedom in being able to tell her these things. I can tell myself that I can talk freely because she bound me to the constraints of my being, but if I am truthful with myself, it's because I need to tell her these things and I can hide behind my creators bond.
"I admired Lucien very much. He was a good man, he made terrible decisions, but in his heart he was inherently good. And a hell of a doctor. Had he been born a century or so earlier..." I trail off, for I am sure she already believed all that without me giving my endorsement. "His loss is a great one, Wanda. And for what it is worth, I am sorry for it."
