In this scene from Bringer of Chaos, Six learns what “evince” means to an empath. (Naro is the Ultra’s language. Etymis is the common galactic language, based on Terran English.)
30 Days of Chaos: Day 24
To celebrate the launch of Bringer of Chaos: the Origin of Pietas I’m sharing 30 Days of Chaos. Each day during April, I’ll post one excerpt from the book, along with a poster of a quote by Pietas. On the final day, members of my Romance Lives Forever Reader Group will receive a full color book containing all the quotes and posters. Unlike my website, the book posters will have only a quote and a beautiful image. Look for another giveaway at the end of this post.
Evince? Sorry not sorry.
“You evince no sorrow whatsoever.”
Six speared him with a dark look. “Evince? That some Naro swear word?”
“It’s standard Etymis everyone speaks, ghost. It means to express. Empaths read the emotions that others evince.”
“Fine. I don’t evince any sorrow. Not one bit sorry about not taking on such a harebrained mission. Look what happened to the last one I accepted.” He threaded the fish onto a long stick. “I might be dead, but I’m an animated dead, thank you. I intend to stay that way.”
Pietas shut his eyes, jaws clenched. If he could heal faster by focusing anger, he’d have shot straight to good-as-new.
While Six worked on a second fish, Pietas considered what other tacks to try. The ghost was all about duty. “I’m accustomed to obedience from my men.”
Six’s mouth twisted into a wry grin. “Two things I’m starting to regret right now.” He did not continue.
Pietas prompted him. “Such as?”
“One, that I didn’t go AWOL when I heard about the mission to capture you.”
Curiosity won over, and he broke the silence. “And the second?”
“That you got your voice back.”
