The Chisera

Has the Chisera indeed a friend?

Padahoon

Have I not proved—

The Chisera

Padahoon, when did you ever visit me for any but your own advantage? For what else did you stir me against Simwa, and why now do you seek my blessing but to make good against him the honor of which he has robbed you? Does any one of you bring me venison except for profit or grind my meal for love?

Padahoon

Seeing how little good you had of the love of the Arrow-Maker, why should you desire it?

The Chisera

You spit poison like a toad, Padahoon, but your fangs are drawn. The Arrow-Maker never loved me.
