So she did want a promise. He'd guessed as much since most head honchos had, but the fact was she'd danced around it pretty fuckin prettily these last few weeks. He was more amused than bothered because at least she wasn't holdin it over his head, demanding it. Was too bad, though, because he was about to do nothin but disappoint her.

He didn't understand the point anyway. If I wasn't choosin this place, I wouldn't be here. He said plainly. And I don't see what else matters. What does it matter if I'm here tomorrow, if I'm here today? You got another set of eyes for now. Use 'em.

It was oversimplified, but it seemed pretty stupid to put so much weight on someone's word that they'd stay put. He shouldn't trust him to stick around regardless of what he said, and honestly, he thought she should give him props for at least bein honest.

Trying to appease the dead was a load of shit too, but he was smarter than to say that out loud when she was bordering tears. Zane shifted, giving an awkward clear of his throat. Look. It's a nice place, alright? Doesn't have to make sense to me. But if my opinion means anything, a names a name. And you don't owe mine shit, so the fact your doin this for it means you're already ahead. He attempted an encouraging smile, but this wasn't exactly his element (clearly). He figured as a very-much-alive Ostrega he had more right than anyone to at least tell her that.
