[galvanising]

I remember a lot of talk and not much come of it. Why?

[exequy]

Myrobalan may have a lead. We might follow it.

[galvanising]

What?

[exequy]

A lead on a cure. He heard that being exposed to a spirit—a powerful one, possessing someone—brought a Tranquil back to themselves for a short time. We're going to try to replicate it, for Casimir, if he agrees.

I know the two of you used to be close.

[galvanising]

Heard where? [ again with the skeptical tone ] That sounds ridiculous. And dangerous.

[exequy]

We do not plan to try it with anyone possessed.

[galvanising]

Then what do you plan?

[exequy]

[ There's a pause. He doesn't like to say I don't know unless he can say it spitefully. ]

Something else. Some other way.

[galvanising]

Oh, well, then. [ she is rolling her eyes ]

Do you honestly think there's any hope of this working?

[exequy]

The Divine had someone looking into it before the war. Whatever he found was worth killing him over.
