Summary: Rhylfein attempts to deal with Vizaeth in the aftermath of his latest ‘talk’ with Pharaun.

Worrying about other people isn’t something Lord Dyrr’s heir is supposed to do. Yet when Vizaeth finally returns to Master Do’Urden’s quarters, Rhylfein can’t entirely suppress the jolt of relief the sight of him conjures. He shifts up in his chair.

Vizaeth hurries past the cluster of chairs they’ve pulled in around a low table full of finest fare, shoulders hunched, head down. Nothing unusual in his tension; he’s always on edge, expecting a knife in his back. He’s not wrong to be that way at Sorcere.
