    Sit, witch. It’s the Defiler. And oh, Asenath’s face.She already looks tired. Now, at these words, she goes dead pale, making her stubble stand out, making the kohl around her eyes seem bruisingly dark. “Oh,” says Asenath, and falls into her chair as though unplugged from her power source. “Well, that sucks.”

    Why did it have to be his eyes?Funny; he hadn’t expected the blindness. Of all the horrors he’d imagined, prepared himself for prior to his Contract, he really hadn’t thought his sight would go first. That felt like being trapped, somehow. It felt like being cheated.

    Maybe he is just tired. Maybe it’s just the horror of finally losing body parts, which is normal for a Contract, but… he hadn’t, all this time. Maybe it was the speed of it all, or the sudden, weird betrayal from the being he’d come to trust over the last five years.It still seems like a fair deal to him. But when had he started viewing Hastur as… more? Trustworthy, at least? Maybe a friend?Arthur’s heart aches.

    That growl again. I saw something, Arthur. I saw something with that second body that we need to follow up. Arthur frowns. “Okay. We’ll go after it tomorrow, when I’m released.”Am I going to have to take over? Hastur says, and it is a threat.
