[The sudden offering of a name – especially of one he knew – made him smile. There was something to be said for having it done by familiar people…and hopefully it wouldn’t require a piece of his soul to get it done.]
Might you be able to ask him? Or should I? [Grisha. It had been some time since he had heard that word. He nodded a little, his lips thin.] I…spoke with another one, another Grisha, when I first arrived. He was a…very interesting man dealing in shadows. [A man who had been far more captivating than he had any right to be.] He disappeared a few months later.
[Essek couldn’t help the fond smile leaking into his words.] Do not repeat this to him, but I believe that Caleb might have been, hm, jealous.
I met Jesper on a mission some time ago; he seemed perfectly pleasant and capable. [A sign of approval from Essek for sure.] The others though, I’m afraid I haven’t met them. However planning and listening are skills many people unfortunately lack.
