"We met when I was a stable boy for Chat".
"Milk used to... do 'business' out of the stables".
I scoff at the thought of the young man, he is a gigolo, glutton and drug dealer, like a baby scar face.
"Was he selling demon venom"?
Jaki laughs at my question, while drinking water from the water skin.
I inspect his wand as the sun is setting in the distance.
Dusk is a dangerous time in open waters.
The water waves are as calm as I have ever seen them.
It bothers me, but I continue to drive us north, dark imaginings kept at bay with steady breathing.
"Him and his... your mom".
"I didn't know you two were related until after Aug... when we were in Bliss".
"I thought you figured it out when you sang that song".
"Lady Heela was ready to take your head".
I roll my eyes.
"Thanks for filling in the blanks".
He shrugs.
"We're dead men Ambi... wish I ate more food".
I laugh at that.
