    Summary

    Every once in a while, a huntsman will lose his hounds, will lose his gun, will lose his trail.
    But he won’t lose his prey.

    Or, instead of coming to blows, Rehman and Aslam get lost in the forest.
    It is the worst game of cat and mouse the world has ever seen.

    “Why,” he asks, voice hoarse, “Do you want to kill me so much?”

    This, he knows, is the kind of questions that come from a tired mind. He does not bother to ask men these things, usually, the same way one does not ask a dog why it bites.

    The gun is heavy in his hand.

    “Why,” the other man answers, stopping and looking back, “Do you want to live so much?”

    Summary

    He startles out of his thoughts when Tedesco coughs. He is grinning, now, like he knows something Aldo doesn't. “No?” He takes a pointed drag. He must think blowing out plumes of flavoured smoke makes him look attractive. “I always thought he had very beautiful blue eyes, our Tommaso. A fine face—one might think he is a continental man. Do you think he's kept to his vows of celibacy?”

    “I'm sure he has,” Aldo says neutrally. Thomas is not an easy man to tempt.

    ---

    Cardinals Bellini and Tedesco consider Thomas Lawrence, the Virgin Mary, and each other.

    (“Aldo,” Thomas moans it right into Tedesco's mouth.

    “What about me, Tommaso?” Tedesco has both of Thomas' wrists in a pin, now. As if his shirt won't be rumpled anyway. Aldo reaches out and rubs across Tedesco’s back, experimental—Tedesco doesn’t even flinch.

    “Goffredo,” Thomas gasps, somewhere between them.

    “Very good,” Tedesco repeats, and goes in for another kiss.)
