"Not until Utrio sees that he hasn't beaten me," you say. "Not until I show him what it means to take Basileios as your prisoner."
It only takes a moment to find Utrio's chambers. The slavemaster looks up as you burst through the door. "What are you doing here?" he says. "I told you to leave me alone while I—" He pauses midsentence, and in that moment, you take off the guard's helmet you're wearing. Meanwhile, Drazha takes up a position by the door, in case anyone else should come in.
"Hello again, Utrio," you say, hefting the cudgel as you walk toward him. "You said I should save some choice words for when I next saw you, and here we are." You point the cudgel at him. "Really, I think this will speak louder than I ever could."
"Wait," says Utrio, backing away. "I…I know you're angry, Basileios, but there's no need for us not to be businesslike about it. I can give you gold, plenty of gold, and you can just walk out of here with it. Just…just please don't kill me. I do so like life."
