Summary
There's a longstanding tradition of playing Death for high-risk high-reward stakes: power, immortality, bragging rights. In this case, they're playing for Coldwater. And Margo––HBIC and best goddamn Welter's captain this side of the Neitherlands––isn't going down without a fight. No matter who complains about her choice of game.
C'mon. As if they were gonna play chess for Quentin Coldwater's mortal soul.

Summary
In the chaos, they don’t notice until much later. The question of blame is passed around, and then the question of what constitutes a kindness, and then it is all quietly packed away and not brought up again. It’s hardly the worst casualty of the affair. And it isn’t as though the Binder has stuck around to put it back.
(One could claim it wasn’t entirely his fault. It had been taken before, you see. Maybe the old cuts were still there, still healing. Maybe it was flightier than most, used to its freedom. Maybe he was simply an old man who spent too long in a book, sloppy about something so precious. Who can say?)
However it happens, it happens like this: her Shade slips free with her goddesshood, and no one is any the wiser until it is far too late.
