for any verapaz wolf <3

their numbers grow.

some are willing, some are not. there is the witch and her child-charge, @Nokht.

soto need only remember how nino died a dog's death for the clemency to fall to ashes in his mouth. juarez would take this boy and send only his bloodied skull back to his mother. nino would have taken an eye.

soto is neither of these men -- he is still alive. the similarities between him and his fallen brothers are becoming few and far between.

he could arrange something with safiya, maybe. have her take the boy and his spiteful witch.

but again, he thinks of khusobek -- who tortured soto alive before his darling daughter ever lost an eye -- and any conceivable mercy he feels dies a nascent, aborted death.

no, he must send a message. he had only ever come to muat-riya with gifts.

now, he will come to them with coal, and they shall see for themselves how bitter refugist vigilante tastes.
