“I forgive you.”

“You always say that.”  Qifrey hefted Olruggio further into his arms and began carrying him up the stairs.  “I waited too long.  It’s not fair to him.”

There it was, that thing Qifrey did, where he offered a piece of himself wrapped in observation about someone else, like a gift hidden inside a gift, and you had to decide whether to unwrap the second layer or pretend you had only received the first. Olruggio had spent half his life learning to read these offerings and in doing so he had become the foremost scholar of a language spoken by exactly one person in all the world. "I'm stubborn because someone has to be," he said. "You'd float away on your own mysteries if no one kept you tethered." "Perhaps." The maddingly sad smile again. "Perhaps that's so."
