Asar-Suti comes downstairs and sits in his usual chair by the fire, with his usual coffee pot and mug. And his usual book.

He reads about the cunningness of dragon.

"He wanted it back home - at least the version that we had back home, and then he changed his mind. Who says he's not going to change his mind again? What kind of lover would I be if I gave up that easily?"

He stands as well and looks into Tye's face. "Would you just give up and go away if Aidan said he didn't love you any more?"

The moment it's out of his mouth he realises that it was totally the wrong question.

Tye's eyes go hard and cold.

"I have nothing more to say to you, Asar-Suti. Just remember that Lochiel is important to Aidan, and both of them are important to me. Do not hurt them again."

He turns to leave, and says one last thing over his shoulder.

"People change here. He's changed, for the better. Don't you dare jeopardise his healing."

"I wont - I wont! I won't do anything, just wait and do nothing. You hate me now, do you?"

He sinks back into his chair, almost trembling. The idea of Aidan and Tye hating him is surprisingly unpleasant. And to think how everything he had achieved went so totally down the drain within a single week.

"I don't hate you. I'm very angry with you, especially with your gods-damned obtuseness, but I don't hate you."

Yet, he thinks but doesn't say. And goes back upstairs.

Asar-Suti looks after Tye and feels very unhappy and desponedent at having 'pissed off one of the little bouncy ones' after all. And here he was, hoping Aidan and Tye might become friends with him...

He pulls up his legs, puts his arms around his knees, drops his head on them and starts crying his eyes out with general regret, despondency and a good deal of self-pity.

Luckily, the bar is rather empty and the chair faces the fire, away from the room.
