And not only evil men, either. By is under no illusions; he knows that his ImpSec has had people killed. A fellow like this, a fellow who can see into someone's heart, is a fellow who runs the risk of frightening the wrong people... ]
But - I should say, dear fellow, if things do get to the hair-pulling stage...do come to me, hm? I like our odds of successfully pulling a bit of hair better if we're together, I think.
