[ asura, in spite of all appearances, proves an attentive audience. he listens and he absorbs, not an intellectual by any means, but he does pick up on what she does and does not say. nikolai is. godfinn was. a mother and two fathers. a husband and a wife. perhaps that is normal for royals, asura wouldn't know. he does not miss that she miscounts her children and can imagine only one reason why.

'i'll drink to my heart's content from the skulls of those nobles living in luxury.'
'i didn't realize you planned to kill me once you were done with me.'
now he can't be sure. but he reserves judgement for the moment, as she has been kind to him. he won't give anyone the opportunity to betray him like taishakuten did, nobility or not, so it's no matter. ]
