His expression scrunched up thoughtfully as he began to formulate another question, but he was distracted by his superior's quicker tongue. "Cenric...

He looked down at Cenric's feet, and paused for an overly long beat; hesitating to say what he wanted, because Mother had worked so hard to ensure that he'd never say his real name again.

"Mother said not to say," he answered quietly.
