Jacob wasn't amazing. Not as the young man she had first met. But by the time he was in his thirties, and was Master Assassin of London, his own opinion had similar weight.

"I suppose knowing people from home males a lot of difference." Jacob doesn't have that luxury. Never has. But he thinks the fact that Vrenille's best friend from home was also in the Pit had made the experience even harder for Vrenille.
"I don't know. I have tried to ask but he wasn't ready to talk. I'll have to go back to the Down sooner or later, but that distance might be better fir him. He won't feel... obligated."
