    Summary

    “You owe me an outstanding debt, Grey Pilgrim.

    “Don’t you remember? You and me, alone under Alamans’ starry sky, trading secrets? I asked one question, and you asked two. Ergo, you owe me one.”

    It was the night before severing Amadeus’ soul from his body all over again for Tariq. A private conversation with the green eyed monster and a vicious thought that did not seem untrue.

     

    Set immediately after Book 5, Chapter 89 "Sing We Of Ruin"

    Summary

    Masego laments the few things in life that maybe, possibly, weren't the best ideas he'd ever had.

    (Inspired by that part of Practical Guide where Indrani tells Cat about Masego; however, aside from riffing off of that line this work is pretty spoiler-free and doing its own thing.)

    Summary

    "In philosophy and rhetoric, eristic (from Eris, the ancient Greek goddess of chaos, strife, and discord) refers to argument that aims to successfully dispute another's argument, rather than searching for truth. According to T.H. Irwin, "It is characteristic of the eristic to think of some arguments as a way of defeating the other side, by showing that an opponent must assent to the negation of what he initially took himself to believe." Eristic is arguing for the sake of conflict, as opposed to resolving conflict."

    A fixture of high Society, the Jovial Contrarian is much admired and little loved. The story of his life is a dialectic with no synthesis.

    A bit of a character study that got out of hand, with gratuitously self-indulgent characterization.
