Only when the Big Man started talking did Nem drag their eyes from the dysfunctional snitch brigade and fix them back on him. Hardly surprising, exactly what had brought this on; it was any wonder that it had taken that absolute disaster at the dragon reserve for him to start putting measures like this into place. Kids had been trying him for months, causing inconveniences. Made a lot more sense to just take them out, but if he hadn't done it so far, then...

When the names were read out, Nem continued to look straight at the Big Man, tempted only once to glance away, but not enough to actually do so. They couldn't claim to know why each and every person was on that list, but they could guess, or otherwise briefly entertain themselves by theorising why based on what the Big Man had just said, and what Nem had heard and observed throughout the year. Ultimately, there were no real surprises. No sign of shock or alarm or even curiosity appeared on Nem's face, they didn't even make the attempt.

Mostly they were interested - that term used loosely - in what was about to become of Williamson. Torture? Death? Torture and then death? Make it something worth coming out here for, at least.
