If the Damall had caught Griff taking wine and salt, Griff would have begged forgiveness. Griff would have been afraid and sorry and promised never to do it again. When Griff was afraid he would promise. Later, he might take the wine and salt again, and be afraid again, and promise again, and break the promise again, over and over again. Griff had the bending strength of a sapling.

“And so I was. I can put on the cloak of the world I find myself in, however I happen to find myself in it. I can sing any man’s tune, and you’d believe me. That’s my gift.” Birle knew this wasn’t a gift he honored.
