"I should kill you," I whispered. "Do you think you could?" Unbelievable, his arrogance. Magnificent. He reminded me of Itempas. "You sleep, Deka. You eat. Not all my tricks need magic." His smile grew an edge of sadness. "Do you really want to kill me?" When I didn't answer - because I didn't know - he sobered. "What do you want, Sieh?" And because I was afraid, and because Yeine had asked the same question, and because Deka really did know me too well, I answered with the truth. "N-Not to be alone anymore."
