I'm doing something more important than staring at my phone. Leave a message.

[This. This is super bad vibes but Rhel knows better than to try and tell Hunter this!]

You seem certain of this. Do you know him well?

[cardinalrule]

[It gets better.]

Yes. As the Golden Guard I'm his right hand, I take all my assignments directly from him, unlike other scouts. I'm also the Head of the Emperor's Coven, which is the most prestigious coven in the Boiling Isles.

[thaumewturge]

Wow, and so young?

[cardinalrule]

Yeah! In fact, I'm the youngest scout to have ever made Golden Guard. I had to work incredibly hard for it, which is why I can't disappoint the Emperor.

[Obviously. Obviously.]

[thaumewturge]

I see. Do you think he'll appoint you his successor, since you are already so accomplished?

[Or is poor Hunter just the kid this asshole Emperor decided to make his slavishly devoted flunky?]

[cardinalrule]

His successor?

[That makes him pause. That's never, ever come up before, and even though Belos is his uncle he can't ever picture the man not continuing his reign.]

Uh... no? I don't see why he would ever step down?

[thaumewturge]

Well, he'll eventually become too old, won't he?

[cardinalrule]

He's already pretty old....

[Really old, honestly. And that isn't even getting into his condition that makes him weak, those fits are happening more and more often....

But no, he can't think about this. He refuses to even fathom the idea of Belos being gone.]

I'm sure he already has plans in place. If he hasn't told me, then it's because it's information I don't need to know.

[thaumewturge]

[Well, Rhel can at least accept this reaction. Even if the relationship is extremely concerning, a child not wanting to admit their guardian or idol is old is normal.]

I'm sure. You'll have to let me know if he ever shows up here. [So he can be put under surveillance.]

[cardinalrule]

Um... Alright. Fine.

[Unless Belos shows up and tells him not to tell anyone, which he'll gladly do.]
