“I am going to look a fool if you say you don’t want me along with you, Kamet,” he said with a self-deprecating smile. I looked up at him in silence for a long moment. I thought about the pride Costis took in doing his duty, protecting his king and country, and the conflicting opinions of the two guards outside my door. About how much he might be sacrificing in leaving with me, and how little he could hope to gain in return. I thought about every nasty and uncharitable thought that had ever crossed my mind, every lie I had told him, beginning at the docks of Ianna-Ir. Then I opened my mouth and told the worst lie of all. “I don’t want you along with me.”
