Lazy lounging was still happening. To any casual onlooker it might have looked like Nem was giving of an account of any old boring everyday incident, or maybe theorising how the weather might start to turn. Certainly not the casual application of a potentially deadly piece of magic.
Perish the thought.
And Grantham, please, sometimes you had to abandon what was in vogue in favour of a desired effect.
"What about..." Nem paused, and mulled over possible wording for a moment. Tricky, given it was sort of an open-ended and subjective promise, not to mention the internal conflict regarding leaving themselves a subtle loophole, versus that defeating the entire point by nullifying what they would get out of it. These two sides of their nature had always made for a complicated collision. "I could promise to tell you what I was about to tell you just now, on this day, at this location. And I'll tell you once we're out of this mess... or once we've both left for good, whichever is earliest. Provided one of us doesn't die beforehand." Duh. The Vow would hardly hold if Grantham went off and took on Rent-a-Snitch single-handed, or got in the way of some lethal curse or something. "Or maybe I can promise to tell you one thing, something objectively significant to me, within those parameters." Nem looked Grantham in the eye again. "What do you think? How would you word it?"
So nice.
