He pauses and looks at Sulen again, not sure if he should offer such wild speculation. But then, what’s the worst that can happen? Sasha already thinks he’s an unreliable flake who gets distracted by every pretty face he sees, and maybe Sulen and Gerae will back him up. “He didn’t say so explicitly, but reading between the lines — and reading his signifiers — what he said suggested that this ‘co-conspirator’ who’s blackmailing him may be the one responsible for what happened — happens — will happen — well, won’t happen now, I suppose — at Hellspin Fortress. Or, rather, that Jedao did what he did on his co-conspirator’s orders. Not exactly a strong character recommendation, but if it’s true it would alleviate some of our concerns about Jedao’s reliability.”
