Summary
Completed
Orpheus investigates the other manor attendees, finding special interest in a gruff prospector. With Campbell, will it turn into something more or flutter to nothing at all?
“I know you miss that composer,” Campbell’s rasp filled the quiet room after a moment of silent tension. “He left you high and dry.”
With apprehension and sudden fear, Orpheus’ face drained of any color it had once had. How did he know that—? How did he know of his and Kreiburg’s excursion? How could he possibly have guessed that without researching Orpheus himself in depth. The fact Norton brought up Kreiburg at all is a mystery— and it frightened him. The societal implications should he be blackmailed by the prospector. He had no doubt the other would do it for money. On the other hand, would someone really believe someone of his status over his own…? A small tidbit of relief sank through him however arrogant it may be.
“You just confirmed it for me,” hummed Norton with a condescending laugh. “Silence says it all. You’re too soft for someone coldhearted like Kreiburg or someone busy like me. But I can still fill that missing piece for you just fine.”
