"On Idis or on Grethan?" she asked, then gave a small fief-shrug. "Idis had a writ out for his death, by imperial order. Between Severn and Tiamaris, Idis was not my concern, and even if I had gone for him, I would not have been the first to reach him. As for Grethan..."
She shrugged again. "I wanted him behind bars, I wanted him to pay for what he did to her, what had almost happened, I wanted him to face the law. However... He had managed to get into Evanton's without Eventon's assistance, which..."
She shook her head. "Eventon hired him to be his assistant, and that may well be worse than than jail time, in all honestly."
Her lips quirked into a wry smile. She liked the old man, and she was one of the few people he liked, and even she felt the sharp side of his tongue more often than not. Of course... this was the man who knew to hid the keys in his biscuit bin. He knew her. And... he trusted her.
