"He does that a lot, doesn't he? Cuts people apart when they've done wrong and displays them on the walls?"

“I mean, I only see the one head up there,” Pratik pointed out. “I’m sure he’s not the only one who’s done wrong the past few months.”

"Lord Ash has Counts, right? Maybe they do some of the work."

“Oh, I have no doubt he’s punished others in that time, probably personally. I just mean that not every misdeed lands your head as decoration. Your crime against humanity has to be egregious. Like that fucker.”

He nodded hesitantly. "Lord Ash seems the sort to weigh deeds carefully."

“He is,” Pratik agreed. “I can’t envision him doing anything rashly. It’s always contemplated first… at least as far as I can tell. He’s very careful.”

"I've noticed. That's a good way to be; leaders should be contemplative."

“Agreed,” he said. “Rash decisions have a high probability of being a mistake.”

"Lord Tarr seems the sort to make rash decisions," he said quietly.

“That fucker couldn’t make a good decision if it came up and slapped him in the face,” he scoffed. “Just rapid fire rash decisions.”

“I am completely certain of it, so long as he remembers he’s in a war rather than being focused on the gods. Tarr doesn’t have an ice cube’s chance in hell if Ash and Loquitur come after him in earnest.”

“From what I hear, he’s not fantastic,” Pratik said. “… if it were me, I’d try to relieve Tarr of his head before the gods wake up and risk them siding against us.”

"That's against the law, though....to kill a Lord. The King would come after you, wouldn't he?"
