He didn't think Tenebrae was Solomon's High Priest anymore? It was an interesting comment, and Solomon wasn't sure whether the skeleton meant solely in his own universe, or was stipulating here in Keeliai. It couldn't mean solely in his universe, because then he wouldn't have added that part; but then Solomon had no idea if it was meant to be a compliment or not.

"I'm sure he'd take that well," Solomon said dryly, "after I explain the part about going to another universe and becoming a Death Bringer, even if I manage to remember that I did."

Which was a subject he didn't want to think about--the fact that he wouldn't. If he had the choice ... if he had the choice, he wasn't sure he would choose to go back at all.

Solomon blinked. That was a new thought. He knew where it had come from, but it was unexpected, true or not; and the more he turned it over in his head the more he liked it. It was a choice, the kind of choice he hadn't felt he'd had in a long time; the kind of choice he hadn't even known he'd lacked until he had it.

"Is there anything else you need me for?" he asked lightly.
