excerpt:
“You are good at what you do,” Cassian said.
This stopped his brother in place. “Are you too afraid?”
Cassian shook his head. “Why can’t you accept that I’m good at what I want to do, too?”
“Being a priest?” Calvis spat the word to one side. “Is that what will please you? Shaving your head, dressing in robes, smelling of oil and incense? Spending your days in the temple or in study, dissecting ancient words written so long ago none might know their meaning but only guess at it, and your nights in the arms of a woman who will never be satisfied with what you might offer?”
“I want to speak for those who are unable!” Cassian cried, pushed at last to anger. “What is so wrong with that?”
“She will make a cuckold of you!” Calvis shouted, and was upon his brother in the time it took to exhale.
Toe to toe, eye to eye. A matched pair. Calvis began it.
Cassian was the one who ended it.
