[ Gale is the weakest link. He's also the one that Raphael can see the heart of, know the best, for he has his eyes on that price which Raphael hungers for so greatly. The one so carefully kept from him -- perhaps for his own good, or rather for his father's own secured power -- and now on the stones board, and thus something he wants.
Does he think Gale would have more information of it? No. He does not. He thinks that Gale is a child stumbling in the dark, playing with forces far greater and larger than he himself can ever comprehend. The fact that the boy had bungled being a goddess's lover was proof enough of his own foolhardy shortsightedness.
But what he offered was opportunity. Opportunity to dangle his interest in front of Sir Godrey, and watch the Paladin raise his shield and take the blow instead. ]
Your time, is it? Well, perhaps that is not so bad. Could you answer my inquiries, then? I would ask the expert, but perhaps he is fair of constitution and needs shielding.
