The truth was, in order to understand Alcuin's conflicted feelings about Anafiel, it was necessary to know all of it.
Alcuin had decided that he trusted Hani. If he was wrong to do so, then he supposed he would find out.
"I wasn't a prostitute just because... I mean, there was a reason. Anafiel wasn't a pimp, he was a spymaster." Alcuin ran a thumb idly across the rim of the wine glass, not looking at Hani. "It's why I'm so good with languages, so good at observing. My clients, they were all chosen because they had information. Anafiel dealt in information and influence and leverage, and I helped get it for him."
