[ Bazz turns sharplyβhopefully not tearing up again, though Jugram respects that this time he at least doesn't have to look at it and share in his discomfort. It isn't the reaction he should have, but then again, he'd been a traitor to their cause, had he not?
For selfish reasons, Jugram had thought, but his reaction to such good (if expected) news throws into question the strength of his devotion before the betrayal. How long had he been following His Majesty halfheartedly? Had he actually wanted victory, or had he just wanted to fight?
The tall grass stirs in the breeze; belatedly, Jugram realizes that Bazz is facing the grassy swale in which he'd stowed the statuette of His Majesty that he arrived with. He must have noticed his own trinkets upon his arrival here, so he should know the significance, if he sees itβit shouldn't be a surprise to him, though it may well be the source of another argument. ]
