ILLEK (As Verloren rests her head trustingly on his shoulder, a nagging voice starts within his head, and surprisingly, it seems that another answers it.)
Nagging Voice: Now, you know what you have to do.
Other Voice: Suppose that I don't choose to?
Nagging Voice: Choice? When did you get the idea that you have a choice?
Other Voice: I have choices. After all, here I am alone. Who is to bid me nay?
Nagging Voice: Yes, but what will happen if
she hears about it? Will you work for her again? Will she invoke the geas?
Other Voice:
She knows naught. I might not have ever found her. It was merely on the off=chance that I did.
Nagging Voice: Well, what if
she comes to hear?
Other Voice: How could
she? No-one saw us meet, or leave. I know that she has divining powers, but how could she see us? No, this choice is mine, alone. Leave me be.
All Verloren notices is that he seems preoccupied.
