Theocrat Chapter 4 Part 2
Tweet I walked into the crowd, taking a direct course to Sivar. Octo’s voice was a sardonic, coaching presence in the back of my head. “Stop rushing. You won. Bask in it. Make a circuit of the room, especially to the orchestra. Request a song. Make it look like you won a duel, instead...
