"Oh, they have said that many times before." She presses her fingers to her lips, the picture of a delicate lady. "Think of it this way, Lucan. I will never leave you be. Never. I will never let you know peace. You do not deserve it, for what you have done. So you can settle for my scratching your way into your life. Telling every single person, what you have done, the suffering you have caused to innocent people. Exhausting. But you are dead, and I have lived for much, much less in the last thirty years or so. It would give me no small amount of pleasure to do so, I assure you."

"Or we can both find better uses of our time. If I have your contract, I know where you are, what you are doing, and who you are doing it with. I have responsibility for you, it will assure my concerns of your habits so I will not have to chase after everything you do." She shrugs, drinking another mouthful. "Since one of us hasn't lied to everyone around them for centuries, I think you could at least trust my word that I would be peaceful in it."
