But it sounds like the origin of a hero to me. Standing steadfast against his training - absorbing those skills, but retaining his heart. Because his heart is just too strong.
[ Bastien’s looking at the ceiling first, thinking vaguely about the plausibility of that, but the movement of Byerly’s head brings his attention down, and the flirtation in his smile sharpens Bastien’s. ]
Strong enough to rescue a respected old rival from a high tower? [ He pulls Byerly’s hand up from his chest to kiss the backs of his talented fingers. ] Where he is kept by his cruel new master: the Marquis Rabat-Joie d’Obligation.
But for a night they could escape, before the Marquis catches up with them. Flee ashore. Remember the joys of gambling in a smokey room and getting a hand job in a back alley on a clear night.
