Illario knew that as he surveyed the bound and gagged man across from him, the one that had been actively ruining everything ever since he had arrived in Treviso with Teia. He could kill him. It would be much easier to kill him than kill Caterina or Lucanis- although he had no idea where either were presently- and once more, that was the fault of the Warden in front of him.
Illario pushed himself up from the plush chair, moving towards the older man and trying to settle his swirling thoughts. Killing him was the best choice.
But that would bring Lucanis here, baying for his blood and the rest of the mismatched group of would-be god-killers. He didn't know if he could deal with all of them. Lucanis would be prepared now he didn't miss a trick.
But Rook was here, helpless, those amber eyes watching him, watching.
He pushed it down and pulled his gaze away, finding it easier to speak when he didn't look the man in the face.
"This is not personal, Rook." He says, "I find your company refreshing. But I can not risk everything I have been working on. Not when I have come so far."
