god I loved Ortus Nigenad on my first read and I love him even more on the reread. I choose to believe that he cottons on to the situation real early, and that his thought process is:
- I’m dead. This is an afterlife, or a simulation.
- Harrow is here, and she’s not dead, so… is she creating this simulation? For obscure necromancer reasons?
- Hold on. None of this happened this way!
- Harrow… doesn’t seem to understand me? When I bring up Gideon Nav?
- Maybe if I try to allude to the fact… more obliquely?
- yes, Harrow, I hear you mocking me for repeating ad nauseam how unfit I am to be your cavalier, yes I hear you telling me you’re quite aware of my unfitness, but here’s the thing, you don’t seem to understand that I am in fact not your cavalier and I don’t know how to make you understand that.
- well now this is frankly getting annoying.
- fuck it. Every time you complain about me I’m just gonna roll my eyes and say “oh, IF ONLY THERE WERE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO COULD HAVE DONE THIS JOB. IF ONLY. Sadly no, there is apparently only me, Ortus Nigenad, stuck here filling a role for which I am clearly unfit. Wow. Such tragic.”
- at least I died at an age old enough to drink. Hey Magnus, Abigail, let’s go see if Harrow bothered to stock the bar in this weird necro fantasy world

Life is full of surprises! Sometimes it's a wonderful surprise like this awesome portrait one of my coworkers presented to me today. She loved a picture of Blu posing with purple Princess Lillies she saw on my Instagram and made this for me! ❤️
