Alone at night, he thinks of her. In meetings, in private, he thinks of her. In the daylight, in the sun and rain, in wind and snow and ice: all of these, through all of these he thinks of her. But alone at night, Thayet’s body cool beside him, he thinks of Keladry; the other woman, his counterpointing knife. Jonathan pictures her-- the moonlight gilding her hair, turning it from plain brown to gold leaf, the stars matching the ones he always sees in her eyes. He thinks, and he wonders, but he does not get up out of the comforts of his blankets and find her. He will not see her under the city moon.
