One Prince of Drasnia, inna bar.

He appears to be lounging. Lazy thing. Someone poke him?

'Who is this Thea? I don't know her and she sounds interesting.'

He blinks at him as well, looking to his neck for evidence of the previous injury. 'The scars don't vanish completely then?'

"They will. But I like them, so I'm keeping them."

He concentrates for a moment.

"Be very careful of my Cruel Thing. She does verily burn."

Silk laughs and sprawls a little more. 'Would you like a drink Jack, or do you not? And just to be clear - Thea is the Cruel Thing? I'll stay away if that's the case, dangerous women are something I'm careful of.'

Or not. He likes to play with them. He likes dangerous things in general.

"She is. And not. Cruel Thing is possessing Thea. Thea hates me and Cruel Thing dances and burns."

It's really very simple, see?

"And I would like some water."

Possesion is something that makes him angry and his lips tighten into a line. 'Can she not get rid of her? Although I suppose you would rather she stayed, if you like her so much.'

He orders the water but his movements are a little stiff.

"Cruel Thing is very afraid."

He frowns.

"Because she does not have somewhere to be and the oblivion is very frightening. I know. It is her darkness and my summer."

Well, can she not just stay with Thea? Although I think that by the sounds of it, she deserves oblivion. If she's that cruel, I mean.'

Silk? Can be ruthless. And have no sympathy at all, at times.

"She is what she is, would you condemn her for it?"

He's furious.

He tilts his head and shrugs with one shoulder. 'There is evil enough in the world Jack. Someone burns you because they like it, you shouldn't encourage them. That's how things get bad.'

"Oh, you are puritanical and boring."

And Jack's gone.

Silk laughs.

'First time I've been called that Jack...'
