[ A nice disembodied question for a nice rainy evening. The voice asking it is quiet, and beyond it there's periodically a murmur of someone else's conversation. He's in the room the mages are sharing while they refuse to work, likewise refusing to work, but not fully capable of refusing to think about work, which presently means thinking about Caius Van Markham's severed neck and the forces his family his consolidating outside the capitol.
There would not have been forces consolidating for the Averesches. Perhaps that also means Nikos would not have been important enough for an axe. Hanging is kinder, anyway, in its way—easier to mummify. ]
