Jealously often took the form of malice, and bad blood was not good for business. Still, she did little to squander the envy with the way she clearly favored Nymeros. She rather considered him more like a lieutenant, or a confidant maybe. He accompanied her on all the most high-priority missions and if she needed something done she would most certainly go to him with the task.
One would not consider promises made on the end of a blade worth a grain of salt, but Quincy figured that a man who uttered his loyalty with a cutlass against his groin, would be clever enough to know the next time would not be so forgiving.
"I trust that you will handle it." He would likely not handle it in the way that she would prefer, but the job would get done. Quincy would have liked to see whoever betrayed them strung and quartered, but where would she be if she cut off every head that had done her wrong?
Oh, yes. Right where she was. "We still have many more parcels to move before month's end."
Eyes like bubbling tar, flickered around the room as they moved through it. It really was a sight to behold. If you were a psychopath. The collection had quite grown over the last few years, and if it kept going at this rate the hall would be littered with more remains than people.
Quincy picked and pulled at ruined pieces of chicken with her fingers more than she ate them. She did not share his enthusiasm and it was a wonder how she managed to sustain herself at all with the way she chose to be so finicky. She pushed the remains away as he leaned back and she clasped her hands in her lap. "Bien sûr, I want to see it. I would not likely send couriers down a path I knew nothing of. I will go with you."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
