[Not the way they understand it. Whatever he is he's something beyond their comprehension, she suspects. A demonic entity, an avatar of chaos, some dark demi-god...she doesn't know.
And she chose him.]
I actually do like Nott, but...if a civil war breaks out, I don't really want to be caught in it. But we're probably under threat of war wherever we are. Susan met with the mayor or whoever it is that runs Nott. Maybe she has some insight into the situation.
