[Edward is quiet for a long moment. Then, in a very calm tone that says he’s furious:]
If he wasn’t in another world I would kill the little shit for that. Don’t tell Diarmuid I said that.
[Edward killed Hornigold and he doesn’t regret it, but—they had been friends, once. He knows that pain too well, and Diarmuid isn’t him, isn’t the sort of person who would be just fine with turning his blade on a close friend who betrayed him.
He figures that’s probably why Diarmuid didn’t tell him much, about Fionn or Gráinne.]
He never mentioned Gráinne to me. Bloody hell—I know she was cursed, but there’s being cursed and there’s blackmailing someone to run away with you.
[As opposed to blackmailing someone into giving you information on the Sage and helping you in a little scheme. But Edward’s a hypocrite, so.]
