And you are too old to act like a petulant child. I thought we were past this.

Past what?
Your petty need to be better than everyone? Doubtful.

We're not in Ravka anymore.
There's no reason to pretend we tolerate each other's company.

Have you hit your head on something?

Have YOU hit your head, "Queen" Zoya?

Last I recall you turned down the position.

Last I recall, Nikolai's ring was still with me.
He was here before me. He never led me to believe that was true.

He was here? What happened to him?

[peasant]

I wish I could tell you.
Our good hosts ( sarcasm detected — ) claim they banished him in the middle night.

For an "offense", they said. Knowing Nikolai, that could have been anything.
He has a knack for finding the most annoying arrangement of words and speaking them out loud.
It's believable, only I don't believe it at all. Nikolai would have never willingly gone without me.

[ No, he wouldn't. No matter his relationship with Alina, he would never desert her. Especially if she was still holding onto the Lantsov emerald. ]

And their word is all we have to go by?

[ Perhaps a dragon should set out to survey the grounds. ]

Unfortunately.
He's not the first to disappear. Everyone has made a poor habit of not questioning it.
