“You hate a lot of beings, mal zeymah, but I'd venture a guess that right now you’re referring to Ulfric Stormcloak.” Breyth nods fervently.

Both of them knew - in a way, it was never out of their minds that what was now happening could not last long. There were times when the fact of impending death seemed as palpable as the bed they lay on, and they would cling together with a sort of despairing sensuality, like a damned soul grasping at his last morsel of pleasure when the clock is within five minutes of striking. But there were also times when they had the illusion not only of safety but of permanence. So long as they were actually in this room, they both felt, no harm could come to them. Getting there was difficult and dangerous, but the room itself was sanctuary.

Freddie puffed up like some peacock. Grinning, he grabbed Jimmy in an arm lock and started singing, 'We're in the money.'

Jimmy caught up in the enthusasm, and sang along.

"Fucking hell, Fred, Siddy Clancy. What a turn up!"

Freddie was serious suddenly.

'He's a cunt, and I'm going to fuck him up.'

Freddieput a finger to his lips as he said, 'You keep this close to your chest, and you can work with him alongside of me. I'll show you the ropes, son. OK?'

Jimmy nodded as he expected to. But he felt cold all of a sudden. Those were heavy-duty people and they were not really in his class, but he kept his own counsel.
