[ And Bastien goes on merrily in Orlesian, since that is the mode that Byerly's sleep-sludgy brain is in. The thoughtfulness of the language choice is somewhat countered by his caffeinated speed. ]
I have a made a grave mistake. Percy caught me this morning in the market, and he said he was thinking of calling off his Wicked Grace games, because for the third week in a row only two people had come—and of course no one comes, after the way he has behaved. But he looked so sad. In the moment I thought, you know, maybe he has learned his lesson? Maybe it will be different? —anyway, I promised we would come tonight. But I forgot until he walked away, [ on account of the sleep deprivation; he doesn't usually forget these things, ] we also said we would have dinner with Lady Azaïs and her Antivan friends, and that is important for the war or whatever. And we have to go play at the Rusted Anchor tonight, because Geraldine says it is the last night those Vashoth mercenaries will be in Kirkwall. That would leave us only an hour or so for Percy, and I think that will break him. I think he will cry.

My proposal is, we set his house on fire.
